**Pros:**
1. **Follow-up Investments:** Currently, participating in follow up (A/B-)rounds in my existing portfolio often poses a risk of over-exposure on my part. While great opportunities, it's often just too much money for me. A fund would provide the leverage needed to reinvest confidently. I am left with FOMO-feelings...
2. **Flexibility in Investment Stages:** My forte lies in the early stages. However, attractive later-stage opportunities do present themselves. Like above, the magnitude of investment for these can be overwhelming without the backing of a fund. It's frustrating turning down great investments again and again.
3. **A More Structured Approach:** I'm fortunate to have a small team that assists with investment decisions, legal and due diligence. Yet, the appeal of having co-investors and a formalised structure, with an actual investment committee, is undeniable.
4. ** Dealflow & Networking:** While
greenroom.io have enhanced my dealflow, there are gaps in my network (like agritech investments, where I am actively looking for deals). Collaboration might bridge these voids.
