#0 Build Your VC Fund Finance & Back Office

Welcome to @TheFundCFO Newsletter by me, Doug Dyer. I’m the CFO @chapterone, a rapidly growing $50m+ pre-seed investment firm led by @jmj. I began supporting @chapterone as an outsourced CFO in early 2021 before joining full-time in Fall 2021.

Before joining @chapterone, I provided CFO support to a number of VC funds via @AirstreamAlpha, which is still rocking today (led by a small team executing on the templates, tools, processes built over 10+ years). We’ve worked with >50 firms that have raised >$1 billion and have developed a nice playbook. Previously, I spent almost a decade investing in PE/VC funds at a $2b+ foundation and a $10b+ investment firm.

Every day, we help VC funds improve their fund finance & back office. We approach things as an investor would, sharing learnings from other funds we’ve invested in and our direct CFO support experience to help implement the right processes, templates, and playbooks for each firm.

In this newsletter, we’ll share actionable tools and real-world experiences for VC fund managers. We’ll share insights relevant to current and aspiring VC fund managers, LP investors, and general industry participants / enthusiasts.

Sign up now so you don’t miss the first issue. Thanks and enjoy!
