From Angel to VC: A 2-Day Venture Capital Hackathon

You already back the companies. 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.

But one gap holds almost every active angel back: you're investing one check at a time, off your own balance sheet.

You're already in the middle of it. Sourcing. Taking founder calls. Running diligence. Making the intros that get the round done. That's fund management. You've just been doing it for free, capped at whatever you can personally afford to write this quarter.

And everyone is an angel now. That's exactly why writing checks stopped being a differentiator.

Here's the part nobody mentions until you go to raise Fund I: a stack of personal checks is hard for an institutional LP to underwrite. Attribution is murky. Did you source the deal, or did you get invited into it? Allocations disappear into nominee entities and SPV wrappers where your name never touches the cap table. Years of good picks, and little you can prove.

We fixed that.

Join us for a 2-day hackathon for active angel investors, angel group members, investment club organizers, scouts, and investors backing deals through SPVs and syndicates. You'll draft your thesis, identify potential investors, and learn how to pitch and close a VC fund.

Most emerging managers start with a thesis and go hunting for deals. You already have deal flow. The people who ask what you're investing in are already accredited. You've built trust one check 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 on capital that isn't only yours. And the whole portfolio counts as track record. The average Start Fund reaches first close in 58 days.

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.

Active angel investors, angel group and investment club members, scouts, solo capitalists, and investors who regularly deploy into SPVs and syndicates and want a vehicle of their own.
