This is a great question, and I understand your concern.  We have built Decile Hub to be entirely walled off between each of the accounts that have signed up.  What that means is the only people viewing your inserted data are the writer, the owner of the account (usually the General and Managing Partners), the teammates of the account with permission to view those areas (pipelines, deals, directory, etc), and when you need hands-on help you can turn on "VC Lab Assistant" in the team settings so that a select few Decile Super Admins from within the Decile Group team can help pull together some fixes in your account.  To expand on that latter point for peace of mind. If you have VC Lab Assistant disabled, Super Admins do not have a way to access your account. That is permission that YOU control which we might request access to briefly in the event we need to help you resolve an implementation error, or when running a 1-on-1 tutorial to walk you through certain features using your account rather than randomized demo data within our sandboxes. The third area where we can support with VC Lab Assistant is with customizing Pipeline variables. Then a fourth is with creating custom forms for startup intake, LP interest, feedback, or otherwise. Looking forward along the roadmap, we are trying to figure out how to best enable an account to opt-in to sharing isolated information to a select community along the lines of: "This is a great opportunity that just came across my radar in the biotech space, with two other decile hub funds I believe we can close this round. Here's what we have done for diligence so far. {{Fund Manager X}} you have expertise in this space, what do you think about collaborating for a co-investment?"

Your thesis appears well-defined and focused. Here are some points to consider: 1. **Geographic Focus**: Concentrating on India can be advantageous due to the growing healthcare and life sciences sector and untapped opportunities. 2. **Sector Focus**: Healthcare and Life Sciences are promising sectors with significant growth potential, especially in a market like India. 3. **Track Record**: Highlighting your experience mentoring startups and their success in raising funds and achieving growth strengthens your credibility. Ensure your thesis clearly articulates how these elements will drive superior returns.

A priced round will convert the SAFEs. In addition, because you're the largest investor, you do have some leverage. Usually, the best thing to do is to hash this out with the founding team 1st. For example, you can get them to agree to do a priced round to convert the SAFEs and to introduce a board as well during this process.

Yikes! There is little need to do this. People that are trying to do stuff like this do so because they are desperate. First, "receive incentives for raising capital" is a MAJOR broker dealer violation. Second, a $5k investment is not worth your time (do the math of 2% for $5k). Third, the kind of people that can only invest $5k in a fund typically will struggle to help GPs because their networks rarely contain people that can invest $500k in a fund or that would use their investment as a 'signal' for quality.

Your fund's thesis appears well-defined and focused. Here are some points to consider: 1. **Geographic Focus**: Concentrating on Latam, particularly Costa Rica, can be advantageous due to potentially lower valuations and untapped opportunities. 2. **Sector Focus**: Agri-tech is a promising sector with significant growth potential, especially in regions with strong agricultural industries. 3. **Network Leverage**: Leveraging a network of 50 VCs for co-investment and 30 large U.S. corporations for exit opportunities is a strong strategy, enhancing both funding and exit prospects. Ensure your thesis clearly articulates how these elements will drive superior returns.

For SAFE (or convertible note) portfolio investments 1. managers should track progress of the company, and potentially help the team negotiate to ensure fair terms for investors, founders and employees. 2. carefully review the docs and confirm conversion calculations. 3. participate in pro rata investment - if available - potentially offering this to LPs - potentially creating an SPV as a rollup vehicle and taking carry. Following conversion, the manager enters the updated holding information into Hub as a new Funding Round.

By definition, a studio will have a lot more ownership then most investors. Because of the complicated cap-tables of studio companies, many, if not most VCs avoid investing in such companies. Rather then attempting to figure out how to minimize dilution, it's better for studios to focus on spinning out venture scale businesses addressing large markets that can attract follow on financings from downstream VCs despite their cap-tables.
