Do you know what the hardest part of a VC’s journey is?
It’s raising capital for the venture fund itself.
Founders – take note – you’re not the only ones out there raising capital …
Let’s continue our journey of understanding the inner workings of VCs …
VCs depend on limited partners (LPs) for capital.

It looks like a fund with no thesis. It is not really a fund.
An umbrella fund structure holds multiple single-purpose sub-funds, each with its own unit class and segregated assets held in the trustee’s name. Investors select an individual project rather than acquiring exposure to the whole portfolio, which means they carry concentrated exposure to that project and do not obtain diversification across the fund’s other investments.
What they took out paid for the production line
Flint’s paper battery is usually described by what it removes. Carlo Charles’s even more interesting point is that removing the materials also removed a lot of machinery, and that is why two products reached production on roughly US$4 million.
