EUROPE’S STRATEGIC LP

Investment and Support for Emerging Venture Managers

Thema empowers the next generation of emerging managers to successfully launch top-tier venture capital funds by providing operational and regulatory support.

overview

Thema is the go-to first conversation for the next generation of GPs in Europe committing up to $5m as a first ticket LP.

Launching a VC fund is demanding, even under optimal circumstances. It entails a significant time commitment and upfront costs, including legal, regulatory and operational expenses.

We understand the complexities involved and have reinvented the role of an LP to offer assistance to emerging managers in navigating the regulatory landscape, legal set-up phase, fund administration and accessing LP capital.

Embracing early involvement with fund managers - we believe in fostering transparency and efficiency throughout our curated, streamlined process.

Manager Evaluation

The team collaborate closely with fund managers, leveraging expertise and an understanding of how to build VC firms. Thema offers a streamlined value-additive approach to our manager evaluation. We see this as the first step in our mission to be a long-term value-additive partner for the venture ecosystem.

Fund Setup and Support

Launching a venture capital fund can be a daunting and costly endeavour. We provide specialised fund management expertise, operational infrastructure and fund regulatory support to guide you through the process, save you money and allow you to concentrate on investing in the very best startup companies.

“Thema’s deep understanding of the intricacies of running a fund management business, particularly in early vintages, was incredibly valuable to us during our recent fundraise, and their efficient and streamlined process led to an LP commitment.”

“Thema has been a foundational partner. Beyond their LP commitment, they’ve become part of the team, something that makes a real difference in institutionalising as an emerging manager. Their involvement has improved our ability to move quickly and secure the right deals.”
