Join us for an in-depth session on VC Fund Finance: Essential Tools, Strategies and Applications. Fund finance has become an essential consideration for fund managers navigating the complexities of venture capital. Offering tools such as Subscription Lines (also called Capital Call lines), NAV financing, and GP Support/Co-invest financing, fund finance provides structured solutions to manage liquidity, bridge capital needs, and align investment strategies with long-term goals.
This masterclass provides a comprehensive overview of fund finance, its origins, and its application across the lifecycle of a fund. Designed for fund managers at varying stages, the session balances conceptual frameworks with actionable insights, making it particularly valuable for second-time or larger fund GPs, while also addressing the needs of emerging managers exploring fund finance for the first time.
