In fund manager! Your job is to develop a fund strategy, raise LP funding, scout deal flow, invest in a portfolio of startups, generate successful exits and deliver stunning returns to your investors. Are you up for the task? Can you build a globally leading investment company? Are you a next-generation Fund Manager?
In this highly interactive, hands-on-format, we will cover 10 – 15 years of a fund lifecycle. You will be exposed to a deeply immersive experience in building and scaling a fund, and end up understanding the full life-time journey of a fund, building an investment thesis, dealing with LPs and dealflow and think about value creation and exits.
Your first challenge is building your investment thesis and aligning your team. Should you focus on pre-seed in Japan, Impact in Africa, or Web3 in the US? Do you prefer $150,000 pre-seed tickets or leading monster rounds to catch unicorns? The competitive world of fund management revolves around IRRs, multiples, exit strategies, and value creation. By year three, the industry leaders will emerge. Which one will you be?
As you gain experience, new paths to value creation will appear. Should you work with Jennifer Cho from Hong Kong’s Venture Association, Israeli ex-Colonel Gohlan Neyr, or focus on the exit landscape? Your goal is to deliver stunning results in your fund and establish yourself as an industry leader.
