How To Raise a First-Time VC Fund
Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing.
Raising a first-time venture capital fund is hard work.
Here are some key steps in raising a VC fund for the first time.
Build a track record of successful investing by joining an angel network and making small but profitable investments.
Share the deal flow with prospective Limited Partners so they learn your investment thesis.
Show the deal flow on a regular basis so they understand the consistency of your network.
Share your due diligence with those investors so they see the quality of work you do.
Perform market research on an area of interest and share the results with the prospective Limited Partners.
Build an investment thesis for how to invest in the area of interest.
Showcase the investment thesis in your investing so the Limited Partners understand your methodology.
Present a few successful investments to the Limited Partners.
By showing them your market research, investment thesis, and track record, the Limited Partners can better understand the value of your work.
Ask for an initial investment from the Limited Partners to continue the process already underway.
Consider these steps for raising a first-time VC fund.
Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.
