How to pay less in legal bills: 💰 Avoid long phone calls with multiple lawyers when possible 💰 Use your lawyer's documents - it's easier for us to start from scratch with our forms than edit docs you found elsewhere 💰 Have a good idea of what you want before engaging a lawyer 💰 Use the lawyer's standard process - don't reinvent the wheel 💰 Don't change your mind about terms in the middle of the process 💰 Don't try to do aspects of the deal yourself - mistakes are often made which leads to MORE lawyer time cleaning up the mess 💰 Don't try to cut corners - it will come back to bite you in the form of more legal bills later 💰 Check your legal bill often and make sure your lawyer is on budget 💰 Whenever possible, don't over-negotiate minor points with the other side - negotiations are a huge source of legal fees 💰 Be nice to your lawyer - maybe they'll give you a fee break 💰 Consider offering to provide a testimonial or some other marketing help in exchange for a fee break

NYC tech is on fire right now🔥The energy is insane and I find myself attending 3-5 events a day. Quality and diversity of companies is mind blowing. Just today, I met with two deep tech, one AI and one climate / insurance company. Wish I could fund them all. If you’re an investors and not leaning into NYC, you are missing out big time🗽

Who comes to mind when you think of the NYC-based movers & shakers in tech/VC?

These days I get emails not only from early stage startups but also from...other VCs. In fact, I get about 2-3 fund managers *per week* asking for LP intros as they get ready for their next fundraise... I get it - I've been there. So how to solve for this? More >>

@investing_law @yes_jparker @juniper_square @DCShanahan @Vector_AIS @yes_jparker dm’d you 😊

@yes_jparker Many funds hire a fund administrator like @juniper_square/@DCShanahan or @Vector_AIS/@vectorais_margo for this sort of thing! They’re great.

Investment Fund Glossary: "Management Fee Reductions" Here we'll discuss 3 common reasons a fund LPA might reduce management fees. 1⃣ Excess Organizational Expenses 2⃣ Placement Fees 3⃣ Transaction Fees ******************************************************* 1. Excess Organizational Expenses Most fund LPAs say that the fund itself pays to set up the fund (legal bills, Delaware fees, etc.). However, there's usually a cap. For example, the fund might pay up to $100k of set-up fees per the LPA. If it costs MORE than $100k to set up the fund, the fund will still pay the expenses, but any overages will reduce the management fee payable to the GP in the future. So if it costs $110k to set up the fund, the management fee would be reduced by $10k. ******************************************************* 2. Placement Fees The fund might also pay for "placement fees" to a placement agent. Placement agents will go out and find LPs for the fund. The fund will pay the fees, but the management fee will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis. ******************************************************* 3. Transaction Fees If a member of the GP gets paid $100 for being on the board of Company A, does he/she get to keep the $100? Yes! But the management fee is often reduced by $100. The idea is that the GP member only got the $100 because LP money allowed the fund to invest in Company A.
