Decile Group is the company behind VC Lab, the free training program that has helped launch more than 1,000 venture firms since 2020. It also runs the operations many of those firms use after they close, from Start Fund and Decile Partners to Decile Hub.

Founders who raise often meet Decile managers early. Understanding who trains those managers, how the free program stays free, and what sits around it helps you read a first fund with clearer eyes.
