Decile Group has helped launch more than 1,000 emerging venture funds by steadily removing costs, hassles, barriers of entry, and biases associated with fund formation. Today, we are announcing the next pivotal step in our plan to help launch 10,000 new funds in the next decade, Decile Access.
This one-of-a-kind marketplace will allow high net worth limited partners to browse a directory of cutting edge emerging managers as they are raising and deploying brand new funds, built with Decile’s low-cost, low-administrative set up Start Fund product.
These Start Funds are professional grade venture funds, but they are often less than $10 million, and can accept LP checks as low as $10,000, ushering a new age of the MicroLP, thanks to dramatically lower startup and administration costs. They allow talented managers with deep domain expertise and unparalleled deal flow to start raising capital and putting it to work immediately. And now LPs can browse them as easily as browsing any other marketplace online.
“Just as we’re seeing the big names in the venture capital world get bigger, we’re seeing the rest of the venture market get smaller at the seed and pre-seed stage as AI allows startups to do more with less,” says Adeo Ressi, co-founder and CEO of Decile Group. “These smaller venture funds are unleashing new demand for accredited investors who used to angel invest and can now also graduate to limited partners and have way more diversification across the industry through these smaller, more targeted funds.”
In order to make this product possible, Decile Group changed the legal status of these institutional-grade funds to 506(c), allowing them to market to accredited investors as they go, and allowing Decile group to leverage our platform of thousands of emerging funds and thousands of LPs to help them grow faster.
“We think it’s the missing piece on helping scale 10,000 Start Funds faster,” Ressi says. “Now these funds can find their true believers faster.”
We’ll be adding more emerging managers to this platform as we test it, iterate, and get feedback from our first managers rapidly.
