In raising a VC fund, there are key factors that will lead to a successful outcome.

Here’s a list of key success factors:

Providing value add to the relationship.

For example, make introductions between two Limited Partners who may benefit from knowing each other.

Educate the LPs so they understand the industry better.

Investors love to learn insights about a sector they are investing in.

Fast follow-up shows you value the relationship.

Return calls quickly to show how important the relationship is.

Gain endorsement from LPs, founders, and other VC funds.

A good standing in the industry helps burnish the reputation.

Build a robust program with well-defined processes.

LPs will appreciate a strong operational team in place.

Finally, build a relationship with the Limited partner.

An authentic relationship will bring many benefits throughout the life of the fund.

Consider these factors in raising a VC fund.
