Types of typical investors include banks, insurance companies, retirement or pension funds, hedge funds, investment advisors and mutual funds.
● Presentation to other VC Firms: There are many organizations that consist of VCs, angel investors, and individual investors. General Partners will present the fund to these investors to obtain prospective investors.
Since funding has not been received yet, nor has any investment been made in any company, it is not possible for Venture capital internationalto make any financial projections about its profits. Once started, the investment portfolio fund managers will update our business plan with financial forecasting based on the prospectus, and financial statements of the companies we invest in.
● Seeking out Individual Investors: Each general partner will search for potential limited partners for our fund.

Investors can sought in other places as well, however since our partners reside in these states, they would be our primary source for investors.

For example, Stanford University gave its students a $400,000 endowment for their Bulldog Fund to provide their Finance students with hands on experience in investing. Upon entering college, general partners will approach their respective business schools to request for funding for our VC fund.
● Seed Money: Seed Money can be obtained from investors, and any individual, institution, or company that has confidence in our fund and its managers.
