You've raised and deployed 70%+ of Fund I — a major milestone that proves you can execute. Now the focus shifts from getting started to building something that lasts. This session is designed for emerging managers preparing to transition from Fund I to an institutional-grade firm. We'll cover what changes as you move into Fund II: how LP expectations evolve, what "institutional readiness" actually means, and how to strengthen the infrastructure, processes, and relationships that underpin scalable venture firms.
