A warehoused investment is an investment a (prospective) fund manager makes personally (or via a wholly owned entity) before the venture capital fund is set up and reaches a first close. Shortly after reaching a first close, the warehoused investments are then transferred into the fund. Planned investments do not count as warehoused investments.
Warehoused investments are required to be disclosed to LPs before closing - this is typically done by listing them on the schedule of warehoused investments. The information required includes but is not limited to:
• Company name;
• Number and type of shares (if equity);
• Amount of money paid, and currency used;
• Potential conflicts of interest.
Be sure to provide fully executed copies of your warehoused investments' legal agreements to your law firm or Decile Partners (if working with Decile Launch).
