It's been a while since I launched something here. Feels good. :) Over the last few years we've seen an explosion of interest in starting a fund. At Weekend Fund we've been very open about how we operate, and as a result many people have reached out asking for advice on how to start and manage a fund. Of course, we're limited by own experience and scaling 1:1 text threads is tough. So, we started Signature Block to crowdsource advice and learnings from experienced GPs. Our goal is to make this the best resource for fund managers (or those that want to learn more about VC). A few of the more popular posts (so far): • VC fund decks that close LPs • Should I start a fund? • Top mistakes first-time fund managers make We just launched the new Signature Block site and have a few fund things launching in the coming weeks. Keen to hear any and all feedback, and would love to know what topics you'd like us to cover in future editions of the newsletter.

@rrhoover @vedika_jain this is super cool. I really think such knowledge hub for micro-funds and solo-gps will be super important!

@rrhoover @vedika_jain I gave it a proper look now. Funny enough, all content there is quite relevant for the founders too! I will definitely be a frequent guest :)

@vedika_jain @kornel_grunwald good point. While it's focused on fund managers and investors, it may be useful for founders to "get inside the head" of investors before starting a fundraise.

@vedika_jain @rrhoover it absolutely is. I was aware of the specific questions investors ask during pitch events, but now it explains the logic behind some from various standpoints. Very useful!

I started my fund in 2011. It was the Wild West - no help, just winged it. Signature Block is a great resource and will make life much easier for those launching a new fund

Great job! Looking forward to the new things you’d launch in the coming weeks. Would also appreciate your support (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...) We’re launching Insight7, an AI-powered product discovery tool that automated the customer research process for product teams. It analyzes data 10x faster and generates insights in a click, including sentiments and much more.

@jamiepeak thanks, Jamie! Blame me for typos or bugs you might find. We're hoping to cover most of the questions (current and future) fund managers have as we publish more articles. Admittedly, the site looks a little light when diving into individual topic pages until then.
