I was so pumped when celebs began the cosign on Iron Maiden t-shirts around 2015. Seriously, nothing legitimizes your favorite band from when you’re 12 like Kim Kardashian wearing it down to Health Nut on Mullholland.
It’s funny, people sometimes ask me why I’m so into family offices, and I tell them that the skill for memorizing family offices is the exact same skill as memorizing who played bass for Uriah Heep in 1973. Or who sang for Maiden in 1981.
Then they ask, “Gee man is it because you’re into capital formation?” And I say no, I just ran out of rock bands.
There are a finite number of good bands. There are also a finite number of family offices.
Today, we continue our ten-part series on family offices, which we began for no reason other than to taunt Pitchbook and Preqin. You can read our in-depth coverage of families that like to YOLO into funds and SPVs here in our piece on foundations, a wild $114M seed fund, India’s Venture scene and the really interesting families behind it, athlete family offices, and the Texas Family office scene.
If you’d like to browse our family office vaults, we have two:
The Big Vault: about 88,000 LPs, includes email, real-time verification, weekly office hours with other GPs and much more, for the cost of a sandwich.
The Small Vault: that one is vetted family offices who invest in funds and SPVs and it includes check size, thesis and proof of UBO, requires NDA.
So, without further ado, if you’re raising anywhere from a $10M SPV to a $1B fund, these five are pretty great and really worth a look, receipts below.
See you at office hours on Monday!
