Welcome
From Syndicate to Firm: A 2-Day Venture Capital Hackathon
Tuesday, September 1, 10:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada)
About the Event
You already lead deals. We help you build a firm.
There's never been a better time to launch a VC fund.
Deal access has never been more open. Founders are raising faster. AI helps you source and diligence at a scale that used to take a team.
There's never been a better time to launch a VC fund.
Deal access has never been more open. Founders are raising faster. AI helps you source and diligence at a scale that used to take a team.
But one gap holds almost every syndicate lead back: doing it one deal at a time.
You're already in the middle of it. Sourcing. Running diligence. Getting eight people to wire in ten days. That's fund management. You've just been paying $10K to $20K to rebuild the same vehicle every time you do it.
And everyone is running a syndicate now. That's exactly why it stopped being a differentiator.
Here's the part nobody mentions until you go to raise Fund I: you can't use SPV deals as track record unless you sourced and led the syndicate yourself, and plenty of leads make you sign an NDA on top of that. Years of good picks, and nothing an institutional LP will underwrite.
We fixed that.
Join us for a 2-day hackathon exclusively for SPV leads, syndicate leads, angel group organizers, and scouts. You'll draft your thesis, identify potential investors, and learn how to pitch and close a VC fund.
If you can raise $150K, you can launch a Start Fund and start investing today.

- No upfront costs to get started
- No formation fee per deal
- No new entity every time
What We'll Build Together
- Session 1: Turning Your Deal History Into a Thesis
Translate the picks you've already made into a clear, defensible investment thesis.
🗓️ September 1st at 10am PST - Session 2: Turning Your Syndicate List Into LP Commitments
You already know who writes checks. We give you the fundraising playbook that's helped launch 950+ VC funds.
🗓️ September 3rd at 10am PST
Syndicate Leads Have An Edge
Most emerging managers start with a thesis and go hunting for deals. You already have deal flow. Your backers are already accredited. You've built trust one deal at a time. Launching a Start Fund simply lets you do it in one vehicle for 8 to 12 companies, named on the cap table with a direct line to the founder, earning a 1% management fee and 18% carried interest instead of waiting years on 5-10% carry. And the whole portfolio counts as track record. The average Start Fund reaches first close in 58 days.

Support and Capital to Help You Launch
This program is designed to help you take ACTION. Eligible Start Funds that close during the quarter will receive a $10,000 catalytic investment from Decile Group.
Who This Is For
SPV leads, syndicate leads, angel group and investment club organizers, scouts, solo capitalists, and anyone already leading deals who wants to stop doing it one entity at a time.
This hackathon is for people ready to launch, not just learn.
