Can we tell investors that we are backed by Decile Group or that we have an Investment Committee through Decile Group?

As an Emerging Manager I figured LPs would be more pleased to know that we have support as first time fund managers and i feel it shows our transparency. I also wanted to include it in my pitch deck but wanted to ensure it was ok first.

Can Venture Capital Be Insured?

Hi, I just skimmed through the Cornerstone LP Agreement, and it made me think of a question: since VC is such a risky asset class, are there insurance companies that insure venture funds? Or would that defeat the whole idea of VC—because in that case, the insurance company would essentially become the fund?

LPA agreement when doing fund via start fund.

Hi Everyone, question to VC lab team, or to someone who knows, can we get an LPA agreement that is signed by LPs when doing fund via start fund?  - Some LPs are asking before hard commenting. I only found The Cornerstone LPA. Is it the same? - I asked AI but was not sure about  the response.

Quick question: We’ve been considering offering small LP spots to selected emerging GPs (especially women and diverse fund managers)

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.

I'm looking for best practices from you all. I'm pretty sure we can get away with it using a tag but I'm wondering what everyone else is using.

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.

I want to track co-investors in hub - what is the best way to do this?

I want to create a co-investor pipeline. These are things I want to do with it: • Easily add folks to the list • Easily share deals via email • Share the list with our founders so they can request intros • Keep track of who we have co-invested with already & are close to • Keep track of what they invest in • Add them to our newsletter, etc. Would it make sense to track this in a new pipeline in "connectors"? Or did you see any other good solution for this? If the pipeline in connectors would make the most sense, can you create the new pipeline for our fund?
