It's virtually impossible to blend both donations and investments into one fund. Even if it was possible, the legal, setup and maintenance will be cost prohibitive. The most efficient way forward is to create a VC Fund which accepts investments (not donations) and to structure that traditionally. Then, you can investigate setting up a separate vehicle for donations.

A deal warehouse involves a prospective fund manager making an investment personally or through a wholly-owned entity before the venture capital fund is set up and reaches its first close. After the fund's first close, these investments are transferred into the fund, typically at cost. To warehouse a deal not part of the current fund, you need to: 1. Invest personally or via a wholly-owned entity. 2. Secure approval from the company to change the owner. 3. Transfer the investment to the fund after the first close, following consistent rules for such transfers. Ensure all warehoused investments are disclosed to LPs before closing.

Non-U.S. citizens generally do not need to pay U.S. taxes on capital gains from a Delaware fund as an LP, as capital gains are not sourced to the U.S. and are not taxed there. However, they may need to pay taxes in their home country. Always recommend that LPs consult with a tax professional for specific advice and avoid providing LPs with tax advice.

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.
