Investor Connect Podcast

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing.

You can now start your own VC fund.

Venture capital, angel investing, crowdfunding, and most forms of startup funding are best done through a fund model for when deal flow volume reaches scale.   

A fund structure also provides diversification.

If you have experience finding and screening startups for funding and a track record for successfully investing, then you may want to consider starting your own fund.

As of this writing, there are over 4000 microVC funds in the US alone.  

These are funds with < $100M of raised capital with most in the $25M to $50M range.

Many of these funds are led by those who ran sidecar angel funds, invested their own money into startups and did well, or are experienced VCs who set out to run their own fund.

The funds tend to focus on a very tight niche in which they have access to quality deal flow. 

Most raise funding from family offices as institutions require long track records and large fund sizes so their investment doesn’t take more than 20% of the round. 

You can now take your expertise and run your own fund.


Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Let’s go startup something today.
