This could help you nail fundraising: lnkd.in/gPd8-bYy ♻️ Repost to help a founder in your network!

@saraledterman @Samirkaji Literally none of the big 4 will take emerging managers for firm + funds with AUM <$150M. “Too risky” for them. JPM will only allow if you are a private wealth client with $5M. BoA/Merrill is similar. Citi is a no go. Big upside to partner with managers as they grow.

@Samirkaji This will be a huge problem. A big bank told us that the smallest “emerging fund” they would bank is 500m AUM. This is an indication that they’re so out of touch that you would never want them as your bank anyway.

As a small fund or small company, you definitely want to see banks like FRB exist. The experience I've been hearing for being forced to work with big banks has been universally terrible.

@nikillinit Defaulting LPs will be an interesting trend to watch in 2023. Lots of activity on secondaries + opportunities to get into closed firms as an LP. Usually there’s some pretty steep escalation outlined in the LPA on next steps (forfeit carry, pre-pay balance). Lots of legal fees..

if LPs say no to capital calls because they don't like what you're investing in, doesn't that just make your venture fund a rolling fund?

@KatyWellhousen Same here! The ROI just isn’t there. My only motivator is to do renovations I want, like bathroom or kitchen upgrades that don’t make sense when renting. Could be solved with a long term lease like you see in some places with 99+ years

as a 33-year-old who plans to always live in a large metro area, i'm having a hard time seeing the benefit to ever owning a home (especially given that i am currently rent controlled) anyone else not really have this on their grownup to-do list?

@blakeaburge @oralucent ! Oral health + overall health impacts. I have seen such a significant different in the color of my teeth, less bleeding when flossing and no more bad breath by the afternoon. + my dentist no longer lectures me about my gums. Which is all ROI I really need.
