Applications for VC Lab Cohort 23 close December 14. In this session, learn what a strong thesis and real fundraising momentum look like on the page, along with the common mistakes that hold promising candidates back. Whether you’re starting fresh or refining a draft, you’ll leave knowing what to strengthen before the deadline. Bring your questions for live Q&A.
In this session, we walk through how the admissions team reads an application and what helps a candidate stand out in a competitive pool.
Strong applicants show a clear, specific thesis with real momentum behind it. On the page, that looks like evidence you’re already sourcing deals and an LP pipeline that reaches well beyond friends and family. We’ll break down how to present both, and we’ll cover the mistakes that most often hold promising candidates back. We’ll also talk about readiness, since launching a fund through VC Lab typically takes around 25 hours a week for new managers.
Cohort 23 is the era of the agentic fund. Once you’re in the program, agents inside Decile Hub take on much of the pipeline and the paperwork. That makes your application the place where your own judgment needs to shine, because the thesis and the relationships behind it are what we’re looking for.
Whether you’re starting from a blank page or refining a draft, you’ll leave knowing exactly what to strengthen before the deadline. Registration is free. Reserve your spot and bring your questions for live Q&A.
