Trust first. Ten moves to launch a fund, with the math done for you. Get the Full Conversation Package: "The Fund Launch Map"

Before You Raise a Dollar, Do the Math Most New Fund Managers Skip. A $5 million fund at a 1% fee pays you about $25,000 a year, before lawyers, auditors or anyone you hire. "The Fund Launch Map" walks you through Ryan Miller’s ten moves to launch a fund, from your legal path to your first close.

Here's What's Inside…

The Paycheck Math, Done for You
Pick your pay, your number of partners and your fee, and the map calculates roughly how much equity you’d need placed, not just promised, to get paid. It checks your number against Ryan’s $100M floor, plans fees only on invested capital (never the bank’s money), and shows what a $5M fund would actually pay you.

Ten Moves, From Trust to First Close
Every move has a starter step and a pro step. You’ll choose between 506(b) and 506(c), build the “spine of steel” (fund admin, auditor, legal and compliance), map the three-company structure, plan the four-bucket waterfall and GP catch-up, and set up the data room with a one-pager, a pitch deck and a flip book.

Urgency Built Into Your Fund’s DNA
You don’t have to be a great closer. The map builds your terms ladder for you: five tranches from 1 and 10 up to full 2 and 20 for fast money, or better terms for bigger checks. It also shows how an advisory board lets you rent the reputation, relationships and results you don’t have yet.
