I started negotiations with Swiss-Asia in Singapore to set up a VCC structure there, with Swiss-Asia serving as the licensed fund manager -VCFM (a Singaporean law requirement). However, no cooperation has been agreed upon yet, and no documents have been signed. Is pausing those conversations for the program duration recommended, or do you see no interference?

Yes - you should pause conversations until your figure out where you will domicile together with LPs. Please note that the Singaporean domicile and licensing process can take 1 year or more. Unless you are based in Singapore, we recommend that you try to domicile somewhere else.

Hi Mike, quick question (VC Lab Cohort 22).

I am already licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore as a Venture Capital Fund Manager (CMS 101232). Does it make sense for me to do a start fund in Delaware, or should I just do a VCC / Singapore GP/LP / Pte Ltd structure? How would that interact?
