First Time Fundraising

First Time Fundraising

Course overview

The BVCA annual First Time Fundraising Workshop is an important initiative within our calendar to help foster and support the future leaders of our industry.

Who should attend

This workshop is designed for GPs raising a maiden fund and not for individuals within firms which have raised consecutive funds.

Why should you attend

Given changes in the industry and its continuing evolution, many teams are entering unknown territory. Whether you've spun out a captive fund that is now seeking third-party investors or you're setting up your own operation, this valuable and timely workshop will help you:

• Learn from the experience of other first time fundraisers
• Deal structuring and investment returns
• Ensure you are fully informed on matters relating to:
• The fundraising process
• Management entity structure
• Carried interest and co-investment schemes
• Fund structuring
• Fund domiciles
• Regulation
• Meeting the specific needs and objectives of LPs
