Exploring the craft of fund sizing and modelling, with Daniel Keiper-Knorr

Exploring the craft of fund sizing and modelling, with Daniel Keiper-Knorr

How do investors strike the delicate balance between fund size, investment strategy, and portfolio construction to maximize returns?

In today's markets, that's a tricky question. VCs need to keep one eye on waning IPO activity and intensifying competition while also grappling with unpredictable market dynamics.

One firm that has done this successfully is Speedinvest – much to the credit of its co-founding partner Daniel Keiper-Knorr. The firm focuses on early-stage investments and has offices in Berlin, London, Munich, Paris, and Vienna, and total assets under management exceeding €1bn.

In this episode of Capital Conversations, Keiper-Knorr discusses the story behind Speedinvest and the complex craft of fund sizing and modeling.
