GoingVC x Verivend: Beyond Track Record
Your track record matters—but so does how you run your fund. LPs don’t just invest in deals; they invest in managers they trust. While performance data is critical, the way you operate, communicate, and engage with LPs is just as important in building long-term relationships.
Join us for a deep dive on track record creation, storytelling, and fund operations to learn how to present your firm in the best possible light and exceed LP expectations.
