VC Fund Structure Overview and Guide

Graph Advisors presents the VC Fund Structure Overview

This resource is a single page overview of the entities needed in a VC fund. It explains the entities with a real world example, and shows how each party is involved with each entity. Transparency in VC is critical to understanding the details of a fund, and we aim to show that in the products and services we build.

We also have other great resources at: https://graphadvisors.com/resources
