Description: For the last episode of our series on ‘How to Raise a Venture Fund’, Danielle, Francesca and Tunde reunite again to discuss their key takeaways from the previous three episodes, where we interview the founding partners of funds with novel strategies and structures.

Our interviews with Adrian (Übermorgen), Ian (Syndicate) and Alice (Entrepreneur First) yielded fantastic insights which we got to unpack. Some of the key themes we discussed were:

• The motivations behind their atypical structures (2 of 3 are structured as companies rather than funds)
• Raising capital outside mainstream LP circles
• Earning the right to innovate on structure and strategy simultaneously 

We took so many learnings away from each episode and we cannot thank our guests enough for coming on the show!
