Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Fund Objectives, (Legal) Structure, Fund Specifics, Investment Strategy, Investment Criteria, Investment Process Overview, Management Team and Disclaimers. Fund Objective -- purpose of the fund and how it will be deployed. Legal Structure -- is it a fund, a syndicate, a pledge fund or some other structure? Fund Specifics -- most funds are based on a ten-year window. Distribution Strategy -- most funds provide a recycle provision that let’s GPs reinvest profits back into the fund. Other funds require a hurdle rate before GPs can share in the profits. This means the investors get their principal investment back before the GP takes any carry. Limited Partner Units -- private funds are limited to a maximum of ninety-nine accredited investors in the fund. Fee Structure -- most funds use the two percent management fee and a twenty percent carry. Compensation Structure -- this determines when and how the GPs receive their compensation. Initial Deposit -- funds vary in how much of the funds are required from investors up front. Investment Strategy -- outlines the investment thesis. Management Team -- the resumes of the general partners. Finally, there are disclaimers to include. Let’s go startup something today.
