Episode Synopsis "Ep 13 with Carlos Diaz of Diaspora Ventures"

Today we’re going to talk about fundraising. Fundraising is always quite a stressful process, it is not an easy task raising a significant amount of money in a short period of time, well which more often than not becomes quite long. A few months ago, in reponse to this challenge, Angel List launched a concept called Rolling Funds. It’s new, its intriguing and so I chatted with Carlos Diaz, who launched Diaspora Ventures a few months ago and started raising money through a rolling fund. Here is what I asked him: - What are you looking to achieve on the tech scene with Diaspora Ventures? - You co-founded Diaspora Ventures in July 2020 and launched a rolling fund. Why a rolling fund instead of a classic VC fund ? - You have raised 2.5M$ so far. How did you go about it and how does the fundraising process work in general through a rolling fund ? - A quarterly fund launch means that you will be fundraising all the time. Sounds quite tedious and time consuming, will you be on the road all the time ? - What about the terms and conditions and the exit process ? Are they different? - In time, do you think that rolling funds could replace certain categories of classic VC funds ?
