AI LP Outreach | 506c Specific
My Prompt in Decile Hub AI Tools
I believe we might not be challenging conventional LP outreach enough for 506c Start Funds. With funds like Brody using AI to close $100M in LP commitments and tools like ClawBot openclaw.ai we should be able to do this in an even more efficient manner with Decile. Please evaluate and provide direction. Our funds focus should be small and medium LPs. Large family office or institution is only nice to have but more likely in a second fund, not Fund I.
