[Live Event] LPs helping fund managers like VCs help founders

LinkedIn Live event at 9 am ET on Thursday, May 18 with EUVC and altitude

Fund managers are founders too. As LPs in a number of VC funds at Broadhaven Ventures (particularly first-time funds and emerging managers), we think it’s important to help GPs build their asset management businesses just as we do as a VC helping founders build their companies.

I’m excited to join a LinkedIn Live conversation next Thursday May 18 with Andreas Munk Holm and David Cruz e Silva, who are building and running operator LP syndicates for VCs in Europe at EUVC, and Marc Penkala, a General Partner at altitude where we’ll discuss how funds can leverage their LP community to build a strong VC/LP relationship and help their portfolio companies.

I’ve long been a believer in bringing a community approach to asset management to provide funds and companies with a broader network of potentially active and engaged participants — from helping to build iCapital to enable the high-net-worth investor community to access top funds to investing into the likes of Republic, Allocate, bunch, Capital (fka Party Round), Syndicate, Seed Club Ventures, Brassica at Broadhaven Ventures.

The innovation in infrastructure has now been built to enable broader participation into funds and companies — and many asset management businesses and investors are the beneficiaries of this evolution in market structure as the mainstreaming of alts continues.

Looking forward to the conversation with Andreas and David from EUVC and Marc from altitude. And if you want to have your finger on the pulse of the European VC ecosystem, head over to EUVC and subscribe or follow along to stay up to date with everything that’s happening in the ecosystem.
