Ryan and Vedika are some of the best investors I’ve worked with, anyone starting a fund should definitely listen to any advice they curate. Congrats on launch!

The Fundraising Playbook

I’ve enjoyed reading the content a great deal. Raising a fund isn’t easy, getting perspective from others in the field is super valuable.

@byosko I Appreciate that, Ben! 100%. The topics we cover benefit from multiple perspectives from people who have raised a fund before. There often isn't a "right answer".

I have said this many times on Twitter and countless times referred Signature Block to my founders/operator friends who want to get into VC - the amount of value and knowledge is just enormous. Big fan of all the posts Ryan and Vedika created. Must-subscribe IMO 💯 Ryan, Vedika - curious about what other niche topics you want to cover as part of SB in 2023?

@5harath appreciate that. :) We have a running list of topics we're planning to cover, including: - How to model a portfolio (we'll include a spreadsheet template) - Tools stack used by fund managers - How to think about follow-on investments and reserves And many others. But keen to hear what others would like to see!

@rrhoover I love the tool stack topic - it can turn into a mini-project by curating them(no-code for the rescue) Do you have any plans to convert SB into a community? Maybe on slack or circle? I’m sure people are going to appreciate connecting with like-minded folks

@5harath we've experimented with a few events. There's clearly an opportunity to do so – many readers have expressed interest in connecting directly with other fund managers – but starting a community is a serious commitment and we would need to ensure it's a high enough priority relative to everything else we're working on. TL;DR: Maybe someday!
