Incubator/Seed Investments



We have been active in representing financial institutions, private funds and family offices in connection with “seed investments” in start-up and early stage hedge funds and private equity funds. These transactions typically involve structuring equity or synthetic equity interests in the fund manager for the investor as well as negotiation of special redemption, information and other rights. For private funds, these investments can present complex tax considerations which need to be addressed in structuring the investor’s interests in the fund manager.
