LP Institute Curriculum

The LP Institute offers a structured program for Limited Partners (LPs) in venture capital, segmented into three key phases.

The initial phase focuses on orienting LPs to the venture capital landscape, including networking, understanding the investment process, and beginning to scout for potential venture firms.

The middle phase advances to teaching in-depth due diligence techniques, tool utilization, and investment strategy formation.

The final phase centers on legal education and practical application, guiding LPs through the legal intricacies of venture investments and the closing process.

This progression ensures that LPs are well-equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills, and practical experience for successful venture capital investing.

Sessions are held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Wednesdays at 10 AM PT are reserved for mentor presentations. On Tuesdays at 10 AM PT, we hold social sessions in which participants can network. We may add an additional slot for networking on Fridays to accommodate for participant time zones.
