If you’re planning to launch a fund, I know exactly how overwhelming it can feel. I’ve been there confused, lost in legal terms, trying to figure out the best jurisdiction, and searching for trustworthy advisors. That’s why I created FundSetup, a platform where fund managers, entrepreneurs, and institutions get everything they need to launch an investment fund under one roof.
What is FundSetup?
My Journey Creating FundSetup
FundSetup was born out of necessity. I worked in the fund industry and saw how hard it was for new managers to find trusted partners, navigate regulations, and handle setup. Too many steps, too many providers, and not enough transparency. So, I decided to solve it.
Why I Built This Platform
I wanted to create something that’s fast, efficient, and simple. A one-stop platform where anyone can get expert help to start hedge funds, crypto funds, private equity funds, and more — without wasting time or money.
