This presentation will introduce you to the fundamentals of raising capital for venture builders, startup studios. Compared to raising capital for a single startup, the fundraising process is more challenging. Because you are raising money for an organization that will be active participant in building up an entire batch or batches of startups. So you have to show to your investors that you have:
+ A studio leadership team with the power to build an entire portfolio of ventures;
+ The right financial-organizational structure that matches the goals;
+ A coherent vision and venture building thesis;
+ Viability of your approach supported by benchmarks;
+ Strong portfolio of startups and ideas in your pipeline.
This presentation will help you understand the basics of how to build up your fundraising approach.
If you need more help, reach out and I will guide you in:
+ Structuring your venture builder and fundraising strategy;
+ Assess your current material and identify gaps and risks;
+ Preparing for a successful investor meeting;

How to VC: Creating a VC fund portfolio modelDave McClure
This article aims to help VCs figure out how to size a venture capital fund, how many companies to include in your portfolio, and when and how to do follow-on investments. Most VCs aim to make a 3X (net) return on initial fund capital, at a ~20% net IRR. Note however, likely less than 10% of most VC funds achieve that goal.

Leveraging years of experience, we will help founders and aspiring founders understand the role of venture capital in entrepreneurship and share lessons learned about fundraising and investing from both sides of the table.

Location: The property must be located in a USDA-designated rural or suburban area. Many areas in California qualify.
Income Limits: Applicants must meet income guidelines, which vary by region and household size.
Primary Residence: The home must be used as the borrower's primary residence.
