How To Start A Venture Capital Fund From Scratch

[@joehodgskin3012]

I am a 20 year old. I’ve been running a small consultancy for around 8 months now. We help startups and SMEs prepare for funding. We build pitch decks and get small businesses in front of VC funds, investors etc. I have just dropped out of university to persue my vision. My goal is to start a VC fund of my own and your videos aid me with the steps I need to take.

[@mizz9841]

Follow your dream Joe. There's a good amount of set backs but stay encouraged. Where are you located out of?

[@francescobullo8272]

Wow man I’m 19 yrs old wondering about dropping out of university with similar ideas. Inspiring👍

[@joehodgskin3012]

[@joehodgskin3012]

@@mizz9841 Appreciate your encouragement!!

[@joehodgskin3012]

@@francescobullo8272 The only advice I would give is you need to weigh up what is more important long term. I dropped out mainly because university wasn’t giving me the fulfilment I was looking for. I wanted to network and expand my knowledge of business in my degree and I wasn’t getting either. I have learnt more in the last 8 months getting hands on experience than university could’ve taught me in at least the first 2 years. If you want to drop out, do it with a plan and attack it hard! Don’t let the lack of parenting or dictation let you be stagnant. You have to set up opportunities for yourself and make things happen!

Funny, I recently registered my VC company and deployed most of the stuff you said before stumbling on your video🤣🤣. The video is really insightful

First video of yours that I've seen and I'm excited. I've already invested in 12 technology startups via equity crowdfunding and I'd love to enter the VC space next. Thanks for the content.

If you in the comments and new to the channel Bridger is official and gives great information in the fund space I highly recommend joining the ifs family

Hi Bridger, thank you for this video. Commenting from Cameroon, Francis Nganou country (MMA Champion)

[@kpratik5551000]

Excellent Bridger. Had absolutely no knowledge what is VC but you explained very well for beginners.

[@fidgetykoala]

To be honest, I'm quite new to the space, I was trying to make sense of 'forward thinking' metrics I have seen on start-ups websites, jobs posts etc...trying to figure out companies' valuation though most of them are not profitable, trying to figure out why usually they don't have any process in place in favour of mind blowing yoy growth. Basically I take anything as a stepping stone towards personal knowledge augmentation, so I have been able to undercover 1 thing or 2. VC seems pretty risky so it's something I'm savouring theoretically. However, M&A it's where I'd like to head, I'm just a bit behind schedule in terms of age. But Fin is actually so interesting. Subbed!

[@phenyomotsisi8436]

I've been thinking about starting a VC but stuck for a long time on how to actually raise capital and how to put it on paper once I do. So thank you for this video, you got my blood boiling as I now know what to, when and how to do it

[@asemwota]

This is great information and very helpful for me as I look forward to starting a venture capital firm... Thanks for this.. Love from Nigeria.

[@stevenjenga8537]

How far now? we can partner

[@markmoore1065]

Great video Bridger, just started a VC firm. Been investing for a couple of years. Good stuff.

[@wendelllackey4807]

Bridger, very insightful. I've started a (family) investment business and one of the things with which we struggle is identifying potential deals in the first place. So far much of it is word-of-mouth. Do you have any suggestions on resources to identify potential deals with private stock offerings?

[@dansecor8753]

My very successful family member gave me 6 months to launch a very ambitious project that will require outside investment, so I subscribed, liked and am now commenting so I can throw my hat in the ring (I like gifts). :)

[@MattPh1974]

Thank you, Bridger, for the video. You explained how to start a venture capital fund in understandable language. Since I'm new to this space, I think I'll start with the syndication model. I enjoyed how you stress the importance of partnering with someone having experience in venture capital. Your video was insightful. I'm now a subscriber to your KZbin Channel. Thank you.

[@sethldunn]

Great video. I’ve been around VC in the Silicon Valley for years. Seems God always places me right next to Start Ups, Seeds, VC’s and Billionaires, even a trillion-air from the industrial families. While I’ve always been around it, I decided it’s time to finally jump in. And you’re LDS? I’m a convert from the Silicon Valley lol. My first Bishop is a Venture Capitalist in SF and the Father of Elder that confirmed me is a Venture Capitalist in Provo. My neighbors and dear friends in Los Gatos are founding members of Sequoia. So I always attract VC as I said 😂 While I’m familiar with a lot of the process of taking a company from an idea to an IPO, I loved the basics on the other side in this video. Thank you for sharing.

@@sakshamdhyani7635 it depends on your funds business model. You can definitely bootstrap to start off. My partners and I plan on bootstrapping our first deal to garner a track record. Raising capital just allows you scale.
