America, at its best, seeks to expand opportunity at every juncture. @PatrickMcHenry is no lame duck and is leading on a critical issue through his bill, H.R. 2799, the Expanding Access to Capital Act. My fellow @coolwatercap capital cohort mate @einarvollset shares just how anti-American the LP status quo is.

Building your first VC fund? Finding a fund admin should be at the top of your to-do list. We partnered with @oper8rio’s @wintmead to share why having a strong fund admin team matters for new VCs. (Hint: It saves you time and builds trust with investors.) carta.com/blog/why-every-fir…

Great overview by @wintmead and @jstraus on the importance of having a fund administrator (especially for EM's). A strong FA partner can help you standout to investors in a world where VC is becoming more competitive. oper8r.substack.com/p/why-ev…

Put another way….. $1.5BN could entirely fund 60+ emerging managers (assuming avg $25M fund I, majority being early stage) Which could go on to likely back 1,500+ companies Creating space for new perspectives + voices for founders + funders ❤️
