Michael Wu to Present Legal Fundamentals at Strut’s VC Fund Operations Bootcamp

Written By Kristen Ostro

Your Limited Partnership Agreement, also known as the LPA, is the foundation of your VC fund. Yet it can be incredibly nuanced, complicated, and, if not done properly, a financial and legal pain in the buns to fix. The legal formations your fund sets into stone will dictate its course for success, and as such, getting expert support to craft them properly is paramount.

That’s why we invited Michael Wu of esteemed law firm Winston & Strawn LLP to speak at our VC Fund Operations Bootcamp this Fall. Michael will go through some of the critical legal requirements GPs have to navigate as they create and grow their fund and delve into the legal nuances behind the forms and filings they’ll need to execute throughout the full fund lifecycle.

During our 8-week Bootcamp, which begins September 27th, you’ll learn how to set up best-in-class VC fund operations, from the technical side of things, like your LPA and cash management to people ops, building out your tech stack, and more. Class size is limited to maximize the learning experience. Register today to reserve your spot!
