names for a new venture capital fund

Everyone and his sister is raising a fund. It’s not just SoftBank raising a $100B fund, either.

Test: Should I be raising a fund?

Here’s a quick litmus test as to whether you should be raising a fund right now.

  • Have you been a consultant to an industry for a few years? Great! Raise a fund.
  • Does your idea have anything to do with cryptocurrency or Bitcoin? Great! Raise a fund.
  • Are you an associate at a mediocre fund? Great! Raise a fund.
  • Have you ever dreamt of living the 2 and 20 lifestyle? Great! Raise a fund.

If you answered yes to any of the above (or even if you haven’t), now is great time to raise a fund.
