For GPs who have hosted LP events - have you ever hosted joint events with other GPs who lived in your area? If so, how did they go?

I recently discovered that a few VC Lab cohort members live in the DC area. I am wondering about the effectiveness of planning LP events with other GPs.  What’s more beneficial to GPs and more attractive to LPs - a larger joint event like a happy hour or a smaller, more intimate one like a dinner?

What's the new language for pacts with 'Fill in the Form' - do we include this on the PACT landing page and/or the custom banner when potential LPs are viewing our deck?

Hi everyone - as we all know, the venture fundraising scene has changed dramatically in the last year or so due to market conditions, global volatility/conflicts, interest rate growth, and so forth, In the future, after I get some experience under my belt, I do envision myself raising a fund. With that being said, and assuming the market environment remains as-is for the foreseeable future, has anyone observed what LPs are looking for in emerging fund managers amidst the existing fundraising climate? If anyone has heard directly from LPs, that would be great insight as well! 

Top answer:

Assume that everything you hear in the media about Venture Capital is wrong. Journalists are working off bad data and the opinions of a few old VCs that are becoming irrelevant. VC Lab accelerator participants had the best fundraising mo...
