EVENT DETAILS |
New to VC is an educational series for a group of relatively new investors who want to be exposed to the best venture & startup thinking. Each event is attended by accredited investors & non-partner VCs that skew intentionally, but not exclusively, toward underrepresented backgrounds.
This time, we'll be discussing starting your own fund. Starting a fund is more than just raising LP capital. It's developing a thesis, potentially recruiting a team, & creating a brand. It also means figuring out the structure of your fund--be it working with an existing organization & pool of capital or starting everything from scratch. We'll talk to a panel of investors who created very different funds & how they grew their firms into successful brands.
