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.

If an LP (Limited Partner) passes away, the LP's partnership interest is handled according to the arrangements made with respect to the LP's heirs, executors/administrators of the estate, successors, etc. The LP is responsible for setting these arrangements up. These arrangements can vary and are subject to different regulations and requirements depending on the country or state. Therefore, agreements like the Limited Partner Agreement (LPA) generally remain silent on any specifics.

Interest collected on called capital is typically not subject to management fees and is not recognized by the carried interest provision as another source of fees. The interest earned on called capital is usually credited back to the Limited Partners (LPs) and is not considered part of the General Partner's (GP's) compensation. The management fee is generally calculated based on committed capital, and carried interest is based on the profits from investments, not on interest earned from deposits.
