Good evening VC Lab team!

The GPs of Plaintext have made recent angel investments that are in the $10-25k range each. We're hoping to raise a $10m fund so  these would typically be too small given we plan on making 30-40 investments. 

Nonetheless, can/should we use them to fund our 1% GP commitment or as warehouse deals? 

Thank you, 

Fran

As a general rule of thumb, the minimum transfer of a previous angel investment into a VC fund should be a $25K position at cost. Transfers should resemble, as much as possible, what an actual investment looks like in terms of stage of entry, sector and amount. A transfer should never be less than 10% of the target investment amount of the final fund, so, if a fund is planning to invest $1 MM, then the minimum transfer should be $100K.
