General VC Questions
336 Posts
Ask anything about venture capital, and there will likely be an answer. Sometime there is no answer, and you may need to consult a professional. The training data is growing every day, which will help the system answer even more questions in the future.
Quick question:
We’ve been considering offering small LP spots to selected emerging GPs (especially women and diverse fund managers) as a way to:
• deepen trusted deal flow relationships,
• offer curated access to overflow pipeline, and
• strengthen alignment on mission + visibility through our WomenTech Network platform (events, awards, etc.).
Is this a viable strategy? Have you seen this done successfully? Curious how this is viewed in terms of positioning and investor structure.
Can you share how partner carry is usually split among the GP?
Hi there, I see there is a very good resource on Venture Partner agreements (https://govclab.com/venture-share/). Decile Base shared there is a resource on how this is defined for the GP in itself however, the link leads to the VC Labs homepage. I am wondering if anyone has a good resource to share in this regard.
bulk update for last contact column
Hello,
I sent an email to some specific individuals in the funnel list outside Decile email sending since we got an issue during sendouts and wanted to update the list's "Last Contact" column. When I upload the excel file, the "Last Contact" coulmn went blank and the date that I was supposed to see does not appear.
is there a way to send recurring/periodic mail from hub to select contacts?
I am trying to figure out a way to send certain reminders to portfolio companies and need a recurring email feature.
Compensating Fundraising Advisors Without Expanding Venture Partner Pool
We’re launching a VC fund in Central Europe and have a few advisors/connectors helping with fundraising. Some expect compensation, but we’d prefer not to bring them in as venture partners to keep that group small.
We’re considering a success-based fee (e.g. % of capital raised), but have a few questions:
2. Is a finder’s fee (% of capital raised) common in VC fundraising?
4. What are typical terms for this in Europe?
6. Should this come from fund expenses, the management company, or handled otherwise?
Any advice, especially from a European perspective, would be much appreciated.

What Happens to Capital Call Money Before It’s Invested?
How is the money collected from a capital call treated before it is invested into startups? Does it accrue interest in a bank? What restrictions are imposed on that money - eg. can it be invested in crypto while the fund identifies the right startup to invest in?
What all is included in the expenses portion of the income statement?
Could you please share the components of the expense report:
• What all is included in the expenses portion of the income statement? Is management fees and carry considered an expense, or a distribution?
Q2. What is the process to enter information for the capital call (e.g. the amount and then the percentage?)
I was not able to proceed as the amount to be called could not be updated.
Are recycled provisions generally only used for new investments? Or also for follow-on investments?
The exact allocation depends on the Limited Partnership Agreement (LPA) of course, but is there one of the two options that occurs most often?
