How will the Fund Starter Academy be structured?

We will make the Fund Starter Academy a great experience tailored to your needs to learn how to launch a fund.

This is the plan for the Fund Starter Academy:

  • In (bi-)Weekly exclusive online lessons, you can question experts.
  • Small classes with 6 to 10 participants per cohort allow you plenty of room for your questions.
  • Each lesson of the ten lessons will be between 45 to 120 minutes. So, you can combine it with your (busy) schedule.
  • A recording of the classes will be provided after the event. With it, you can also follow up on what you’ve learned.
  • 1-2 cohorts a year will go through the Fund Starter Academy. So, you will have a pool of peers to share experiences with.
  • A physical networking get-together is planned after the completion of several cohorts.

Ambitious participants 💪🏻

Clear focus on your questions ❓

Small groups with high engagement 💫

Which topics will be discussed?

The Fund Starter Academy is built around three larger content sections:

We will begin the Fund Starter Academy with the following questions:

  • Legal framework and location – Which fund location is the right one for me – and why? How do locations like Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein or Ireland compare to each other?
  • Costs & fees: How should I think about costs and fees for my fund? How much does the fund setup cost? What is mandatory to run a fund? What makes sense to invest into? How should I structure my fund fees?
  • How do I finance myself? How do I connect to the fund? – What is the right way to earn money with the fund? How should I think about my setup in relation to the fund?

In the middle part of the Fund Starter Academy you will get to know important service partners for your fund project.

  • Fund service platform – What does the fund service platform provide to me?
  • Liability umbrella – …
  • Custodian – …

We will spend the final part of the Fund Starter Academy on customers and sales.

  • Which customers do I want to win? – Who can I win a customer for my product? How important is it to be different? How will my early investors be different from later-stage investors?
  • What are customers awaiting from me? – What do my customers want from me? How can I reach them the right way? How should I think about the sales structures for my product?
