New Take

Dear Potential Limited Partner

At Lifespan Ventures we’ve meticulously designed our fund structure to align with our strategic focus on the longevity sector and to optimize the investment and return process for our stakeholders. Here’s an overview of how our fund is structured:

Main Investment Fund – $22M, sans management fees:

This is the core of our investment vehicle. The $22 million earmarked here is dedicated entirely to identifying investing in and nurturing high-potential ventures within the longevity market. This includes startups at various stages – primarily focusing on early-stage (Seed and Series A) but also considering select later-stage opportunities that align with our vision.

The main investment fund’s objective is to capitalize on the burgeoning opportunities in the longevity space – from biotech innovations to digital health solutions aiming to generate substantial financial returns for our LPs alongside creating a lasting societal impact.

Operational Fund – $3M:

Distinct from the main investment pool this $3M fund is specifically allocated for covering the operational expenses of Lifespan Ventures. This includes day-to-day operational costs due diligence expenses and other overheads associated with running the fund.
What’s unique about our Operational Fund is its First-In-First-Out (FIFO) return model. This structure ensures that returns on this fund are prioritised thus providing a quicker pathway to recoup the initial investment for investors in this fund.
This is a novel approach to structuring a fund, we invite you to explore further here.

Investment Strategy and Allocation:

Our investment approach is deeply rooted in a rigorous due diligence process ensuring each investment aligns with both our mission and potential for high returns. We’ve allocated a portion of the fund for follow-on investments ensuring that we can continue to support our portfolio companies in subsequent funding rounds maintaining our stake and influence as they grow.

Exit Strategy:

Our exit strategy is flexible yet focused ranging from strategic acquisitions by larger industry players to IPOs depending on market conditions and the maturity of each portfolio company. The aim is to realize the investments within a typical venture capital cycle of 5-7 years aligning with our overarching goal of maximizing returns for our LPs.

Why This Structure Benefits You:

• Direct Investment into Opportunities: With no management fee every dollar you invest is directly deployed into opportunities with high growth potential.
• Aligned Interests: Our success is directly tied to the performance of our investments ensuring our goals are in complete alignment with yours.
• Transparency and Priority Returns: The clear demarcation of operational costs and investment capital enhances transparency. Plus the FIFO model for the Operational Fund provides an added layer of security and quicker returns on your investment.

We believe that our structured approach allows us to not only capitalize on the vast opportunities in the longevity sector but also offers a clear
efficient and potentially rewarding investment journey for our LPs. We invite you to be a part of this exciting venture redefining not just the future of aging but also the landscape of venture capital investments.

Warm regards
