Webinar Series
Building a Sustainable Family Office Venture Fund
An increasing number of family offices are investing in venture capital via direct investments, effectively creating an internal fund. While some families have found a successful, sustainable strategy, many have not and even a few have decided to exit direct investing completely.
This webinar series, presented in partnership with Toniic and the Stanford Emergence Program, is designed to help family office principals:
Understand the opportunities and challenges with respect to direct investing, and creating an internal venture fund
Learn from successful investors in terms of how they design funds, evaluate potential investments, and support portfolio companies post-investment
Build sustainable funds that stand the test of time and involve multiple generations
