So helpful! Thank you! I have been doing this on my own.

You should add Decile Group to this.

Their StartLab helps with even smaller first funds and the economics are interesting for those smaller initial funds.

Useful comparison for lean Fund I teams picking admin before first close.

One adjacent ops gap we see on the capital-formation side: even with clean admin and dashboards, warm LP paths still stall when the connector has to rewrite the ask. Logging the name is necessary. Finishing a paste-ready forwardable is the other half.

Curious how readers timed admin choice vs active fundraising without losing raise weeks.
