Using these tools and templates will give fund managers time back to spend on the activities that matter, such as meeting with founders and and support their portfolio companies.
The goal of the Emerging Manager Toolbox is to create competitive advantage for emerging fund managers from underrepresented groups and nontraditional backgrounds to allow them to generate returns for themselves and their LPs.

<aside> 🗣️ This status quo, however, is finally starting to get questioned by a new breed of investors. Equipped with data, algorithms, and custom-made software, those rebel venture capitalists arrogant enough to question “the way things have always been done” are quickly gaining a foothold in the venture world, creating a new paradigm of meritocracy.
