To wrap up this series in a few bullet points.
- VentureSouth makes mistakes. We thought our step-down approach when defining the management fee for our sidecar funds was universal market practice; but it is not.

- If you are considering investing in any early stage investment vehicle, you should pay close attention to the details. A “2% management fee” might be standard – but the devil is in the details.
Good luck making money, having fun, and doing good - and reducing your total load - when investing in early stage companies.
