About the Course

Introduction

This CLE webinar will examine the formation and structuring of venture capital (VC) funds and discuss the various relationships between the fund and its limited partners, fund managers, and portfolio companies. The panel will also discuss different ways to approach deploying venture capital and investment documents and terms, including voting rights, preferred stock, and more.

Description

VC funds are typically formed to invest in a specified industry or region. The fund's marketing documents should introduce the overall strategy, explain specific areas of expertise, and outline the types of investments used to implement the fund's strategy.

Before launching a VC fund, counsel must consider the terms of the fund offering, including capital calls, distributions and waterfall calculations, allocation of profits and losses, carried interest, preferred return, and other provisions. The fund documents must clearly define the rights and responsibilities of the manager and investors.

A VC fund should have a valuation committee or an independent third-party panel to evaluate potential investments. They should determine which valuation techniques are appropriate to a particular investment, such as revenue, DCF, DDM, net profit multiples, and EBITDA.

Capital can be deployed in various ways, including equity investments, convertible notes, or priced equity rounds. Fund managers must assess each investment and communicate the rationale to investors.

Listen as our authoritative panel examines the dynamics of VC funds, including formation, fund management, and deployment of capital.
