Frequently asked questions
What is Whiteboard Venture Partners' core investment strategy?
Whiteboard Venture Partners runs a pure fund-of-funds strategy concentrating on early-stage venture capital managers. The firm invests as a limited partner in seed and startup-stage funds, typically sub-$100M vehicles managed by technically experienced general partners. It does not pursue direct company investments, maintaining a single mandate focused on manager selection and portfolio construction across vintage years.
What types of venture managers does Whiteboard back?
Whiteboard targets emerging managers with deep operational or technical backgrounds, often investing in first-time and second-time funds. The selection criteria favor general partners who concentrate their portfolios in 20 to 30 high-conviction positions, typically at the pre-seed and seed stages. The firm seeks managers with concentrated market access in software, AI, fintech, and digital health verticals.
Does Whiteboard Venture Partners make direct investments?
No. Whiteboard operates exclusively as a fund-of-funds manager and does not pursue direct investments in operating companies. This structure avoids the conflict of interest present in hybrid firms that might compete with their own underlying general partners for deal allocation.
Which sectors are represented in Whiteboard's underlying portfolio?
The underlying fund portfolio spans enterprise software infrastructure, applied AI and machine learning, fintech payments infrastructure, digital health platforms, and climate technology. These sector exposures are achieved entirely through fund commitments rather than direct company positions.
Who are Whiteboard's limited partners?
Whiteboard has not publicly named its individual limited partners. The firm's disclosed LP base includes endowments, foundations, and family offices seeking diversified venture exposure without the overhead of building an internal direct-investment capability.
