Private Fund Formation Deep Dive: Venture, Hedge, Private Credit, and Digital Asset Funds
This session is all about setting up private investment funds—whether focused on startups, trading strategies, lending, or digital assets. We'll compare common fund structures, including setups where multiple funds feed into one main fund, side-by-side funds for different investor types, and the choice between U.S.-based and offshore vehicles. We'll also explain the main legal exemptions that let private funds avoid burdensome registration requirements.
The presenters will cover how fund ownership can be represented as digital tokens, restrictions on who can buy and sell fund interests, and how to handle special deal terms for certain investors while maintaining fairness for everyone. We'll discuss how fund managers get paid, how to choose service providers like lawyers and administrators, and how to market and raise capital for your fund. We'll also touch on how to price fund assets and set redemption terms that align with your strategy, plus what sophisticated investors are asking about during their vetting process in 2026.
