E71 • Jun 11, 2024 • 44 mins

Ben Black, Co-Founder of Akkadian Ventures, sits down with David Weisburd to discuss the RAISE Global Summit, the largest LP/GP conference. This is a masterclass on how venture capital GPs can raise venture capital funds and develop long-term relationships with LPs. David and Ben also delve into what differentiates the top venture funds, the importance of operational excellence in fund entrepreneurship, and prioritizing and managing relationships.

Key Points

  • Building strong GP/LP relationships is essential and requires consistent effort, transparency, and adding value beyond just financial returns.
  • Emerging managers need to differentiate themselves by creating a clear strategy, building an ecosystem, and presenting professional, detailed track records.
  • The current fundraising environment is challenging, and LPs are prioritizing quality relationships and proven performance, making it crucial for GPs to demonstrate their long-term potential and adaptability.
