Two years ago I started a fund. For the fund to be viable, it had to be at least $5 million, but somewhere in the neighborhood of $8-10 million would have been perfect. Thankfully, that's what I raised--$8.3 million.
So how does it work? How does one make money raising a venture fund of this size? Not easily, let me tell you. The benefit comes in the upside, and it's very back end weighted. If you're looking to make a lot of dough in the short term, microVC isn't for you.
