All had the following from a potential anchor LP (willing to do 25%+) who is keen to invest 'Would you consider a sale of any part of the GP or a price concession on aum to a possible anchor?' From all I've read this seems to be a polite but firm no. Any counterpoints or counterarguments?

What are the visa options for a Singaporean on H1B to set up and work full-time in a US fund?
Asked by:
Community Member
Hi all I've a question I'm really hoping someone can help me with. I'm an international person in the US (singaporean) previously on a student F1 visa. I recently took a consulting gig to get a work visa and am now on H1B. What are the options to be able to set up the fund and work under the fund as my full time job? My understanding is that neither H1B nor E2 visa apply to a fund. Is this true? If so what are the alternative options?

Do Anchors Seeking Favorable Terms Align with HBS Study Findings on Traditional Private Equity?
Asked by:
Community Member
Is it worthwhile or advisable to politely push back on anchors requesting favorable terms with resources we find that suggest that 'In contrast to traditional private equity settings none of the interviewed [for this HBS study] anchors sought fee breaks or other preferential economic terms. Some were attracted by the ability to shape the direction and legal structure of the fund or serve on the LP advisory board?' Mike made mention in a previous AMA that such favorable terms actually don't meaningfully move an LP closer to investment anyways which was interesting.

Is a 25% Fund of Funds Proposal with These Terms Typical, Aggressive, or Worthy of a Counteroffer?
Asked by:
Community Member
We had an interesting fund of funds proposal for 25% of our fund. *Do you know if the proposal is typical or aggressive or have advice for a counter?* This is the offer at a high level: • 40% of commitment allocated to initial investments of our fund. • 60% of commitment allocated to co-investments in subsequent funding rounds within our portfolio ventures as selected by the FoF (we don't receive any carry) • Option for FoF to lead subsequent funding rounds (for individual portfolio companies) as Lead Investor • 1 IC seat (we're okay with it)
