Emerging manager · Fund I
From vendor selection to an in-house operation
- Challenge
- A first-time manager raising its debut venture fund needed to build its vendor relationships, systems and fundraising infrastructure from scratch.
- What I did
- Led the selection of third-party partners, from fund counsel and fund admin to CRM, built the fundraising database and materials, and advised on fundraising strategy.
- Result
- The firm now manages its databases and financial information in house, with the right vendors in place and an ongoing partner on fundraising strategy.
