How much ROI I suppose to promise or offer my LPs? As best practices?

What is the purpose of the Fund Overview? Who will we eventually send this document too? Thanks!
What tools can I recommend my founders to use for AML/sanctions checks on their investors?
Looking at the pre-curriculum in the there is a table which helps to relate team size to fund size (attached). My question is how likely is it that an LP would be willing to put in an investment into a GP who is doing this part time i.e. what is shown for funds under $15M? Is it realistic to raise a pre-seed/seed fund with only a part-time commitment?
Hi all - I sent my thesis to a friend who happens to be an institutional investor. He asked me what type of equity kickers they might be entitled to as an LP. I'm tempted to state that the standard agreement is 2/20 again because its such a small fund I don't think I should be building any complexity into the LPA's. What are your thoughts? I'm not sure if this is a VC thing or it is something more common in PE.
Question about warehousing/liquidating/SPVing Bytedance RSUs a non-thesis holding that doesn't fit my pre-seed fund thesis I have about $2mm in Bytedance RSUs (assuming an implied valuation of $300B). Can't be sold on secondary because of restrictions but they can be transferred via 'forward contracts' that do something similar. I would like to either add to fund or liquidate some of those holdings in Bytedance (about $1m). What are my options? Should I offer this as an SPV on my own? Is there a way to collateralize for a loan the Bytedance RSUs (no bank will do it for these afaik)? Or do I just hold these?
I’m raising a $10 million fund. What’s the maximum check size of the deal that I should warehouse?
How would it work if an LP wants to up their commitment after they already signed a PACT? or may be after they already wired money for the first capital call?
Hi everyone! I hope you’re doing well! I had two questions: 1. As a first time fund manager what do you think of me starting my fund under another funds wings? Essentially starting a micro VC under someone else’s current VC to share the resources with them as well and save on costs. 2. Would Angel investors be potential LPs? What is the best way to approach an LP? Directly ask them if they would invest or warm them up over a period of time? Thank you so much!
Does FounderInstitute have a forum or email message board that we're allowed to browse/ask questions in for its alumni entrepreneurs? I have a general entrepreneurship question (about what the best software is for SaaS companies who want financial dashboard/charting that integrates with QuickBooks) and figured that would be a great place to look.
Is it lame to use my last name for the management company instead of something more abstract? (My last name is not Andreessen)
is it at all possible / reasonable to take part of LP commitment in form of shares of a company that fits the fund thesis?
Is it normal to have different management fee for active investments period and divestment periods? i.e 2% vs 1%
If I'm targeting $10M fund 1 but could reasonably carry out my investment thesis with a $5M fund, does it make more sense to state I'm raising a $5M fund and try to oversubscribe to ~$10M giving myself some room for failure?
What does a Fund Prospectus include?
Who makes the capital commitment in a fund where the investment decisions are made by an algorithm owned by a separate company?
