Frequently Asked Questions

Strut goes beyond the typical outsourced CFO or Director of Operations. We combine strategic financial insight with operational execution—all under one roof. Unlike solo consultants or fund admins, we bring team continuity, cross-functional expertise, and proactive ownership to every engagement.

Our team includes seasoned VC professionals with expertise in investor relations and operations, fund administration, and accounting, in both in-house and outsourced roles. We pair technical rigor with strategic foresight to keep your firm clean, compliant, and institutional grade.

Strut lightens your load, but we don’t replace your judgment. You’ll remain responsible for key approvals on financials, valuations, and finalized investor communications.

We do not act as placement agents. Instead, we focus on the internal infrastructure, materials, strategy, and systems that equip you to fundraise credibly and confidently in today’s competitive landscape.

Absolutely. Whether you're raising your first fund or scaling across vintages, we build the processes, materials, and operational discipline needed to exceed institutional LP expectations.

All sensitive data stays in your fund’s tech stack. We work entirely within your systems. Confidentiality is built into our agreements, and we’re happy to sign NDAs to ensure peace of mind.

Finance focuses on strategic capital planning, budgeting, forecasting, and fund modeling. Operations is about execution: managing workflows, audits, compliance, and day-to-day fund activities. Most firms benefit from both, and we deliver them in lockstep.

Fund admins execute, but they don’t lead. In-house hires can help, but often lack the breadth of skill we offer. Strut closes the gap with experienced leadership, full-process ownership, and scalable support across finance, ops, and investor relations.

We serve both emerging managers and established platforms. Our model flexes to meet you where you are, with right-sized support that evolves as your firm grows.

Because our event support is deeply strategic, it requires embedded, ongoing collaboration across our core services. We don’t just produce beautiful experiences. We create events that reflect your firm’s DNA, support your fundraising goals, and wow your primary stakeholders. To learn more, please contact us.
