Different Fund Structure

Features

Loyal has chosen to operate with a fund structure that is better for investors and founders.

Image
Evergreen

Loyal is an evergreen, unitized fund. New investors get their share of a portfolio matured over seven years.

Image
Semi-Liquid

Unit holders can ask to redeem quarterly, with gates and early exit fees to protect the fund.

Image
Quarterly Distributions

Loyal distributes exits and dividends to all unit holders, for income or to reinvest.

Image
Diversified

Institutional-quality diversification in one fund, with 400+ cross-sector investments, in 70+ countries.

Image
Low Minimums

Investors can start with as little as $50K (and must be accredited or qualified to invest).

Image
Tax and Fee Efficient

The fund is designed to generally defer taxes and fees until investors receive all of their initial capital back.

Image
Network Sourcing

Loyal invests exclusively in deals from three global networks: INSEAD, Founder Institute, and our LPs.

Features

Different Investment Strategy

Loyal's founders built the fund they wanted to both invest in and take money from.

Image
Unique Process

Start very small, diligence over months from the inside, and make follow-on rounds highly competitive.

Image
1000+ Advisors

Entrepreneurs have access to a network of advisors, for technical, functional or industry expertise and intros.

Image
Winning Deals

Invest early and serve entrepreneurs, to earn loyalty, win deals, and gain word of mouth in the networks served.

Image
Profit from Impact

Loyal has a diverse, often mission-driven founder group, because we reward resilience and results.

Image
Quality Co-Investments

Loyal's disciplined process limits ticket sizes, so even the best deals have room for our LPs.
