WHAT IS IT
An Interactive Bootcamp on Venture Fund Management
Centered around the Fund Manager! simulation, the bootcamp offers an interactive crash course covering the entire lifecycle of a venture fund—from team formation and fundraising to investment strategies and successful exits.
You’ll engage in mini-lectures, advanced exercises, and collaborative activities with a global network of like-minded professionals. Gain practical skills, use innovative strategy tools, and enjoy working with a team of smart, friendly people, while mastering the art of venture fund management.
WHO IT IS FOR
For Professionals and Enthusiasts Across the Venture Ecosystem
Most likely, you are already working in venture capital, corporate venture capital, or somewhere in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Maybe you are a business angel? Maybe an early-stage investor? Maybe you coach venture funds – or startups? Perhaps you run a family office?
Or you are a financial analyst looking to break into the wonderful world of venture capital? Perhaps you work in a government agency or NGO looking to spur venture capital investment in your region. Or maybe you are business school faculty, teaching entrepreneurship, finance or venture capital?
Possibly, you are a consultant, looking to expand your services and your own knowledge and expertise. Perhaps you are simply just interested to learn more.
“Fund Manager! beautifully compresses the entire lifecycle (think 7 – 12 years) of a fund into a 3-day, fast-paced, competitive and enormously fun collaborative learning experience.”

Key Roles on Your Team
Each team will have between two and five participants on the fund’s team.
Managing Partner
The Managing Partner is overall responsible for the team and the fund’s performance. Make sure to develop your fund’s economic model, value creation style and exit plays.
Fundraising Director
The Fundraising Director leads all work towards Limited Partners and investors into the fund. Expect a lot of meetings and a lot of nos.
Investment Director
You are charged with all investment decisions. Maybe you want to have an Investment Committee; maybe not.
Dealflow Analyst
You are tasked with scouting, analyzing and tracking all relevant startups. You need to feed the Investment Director with brilliant cases and investment opportunities.
Fund Manager
The Fund Manager is running the day-to-day fund operations. Keep your eyes glued to the economic model, the cash liquidity, portfolio modelling, return modeling and overall Reporting and performance.
