What actually goes into structuring a venture fund?

This roundtable series goes beyond pitch decks and investment theses to unpack the real mechanics of fund design. From fund size and ticket construction to portfolio concentration, reserves, and pacing, we explore the decisions that quietly determine whether a fund works in practice.

Featuring a keynote from Michael Ströck, followed by intimate roundtable discussions drawing on firsthand experience from experienced GPs — covering how early structural choices differ across sectors, where capital intensity, timelines, and risk profiles demand a different approach.

A candid conversation on what first-time GPs get right, what they underestimate, and how fund design shapes everything that follows.

About the hosts

Infra One isn’t just a nicer dashboard on top of old processes. We’re rebuilding fund admin from first principles: fully digital, API-native, and cost-aligned with the way venture funds actually operate. That means faster onboarding, cleaner data, better LP reporting, and radical cost reduction across the lifecycle of a fund.
