Announcing: $300M raised for The General Partnership's Fund II When we launched The General Partnership, we aimed to redefine venture capital partnership and closing this second fund is one more step toward that vision. Working with Daniel Portillo and our team of industry veterans, we've shown that true partnership goes beyond capital. Our approach is unique: We offer customized support for each company's needs - recruiting, product and engineering, GTM and Capital. We give founders the resources they need with capital and by deploying experienced recruiters, engineers, designers, and GTM leaders to work with leaders at each startup. We maintain alignment with founders through our Sweat Equity model. To our founders: Your trust validates our model. We're committed to driving your success through hands-on work, not just checks. To our LPs: Thank you for believing in our vision. Your support enables us to continue redefining VC and supporting the best as they build their companies. With Fund II, we're doubling down on supporting founders from formation to breakout stages and if you’re a builder, Let’s run it back!

Huge success! For the people who see this in their feed because of my comment, it's been hard for me to decide what to highlight: -Phin being so proactively and consistently an ally to me, in a way that has been invigorating. -The fact that I consistently talk to friends like Ilia Papas or Alex Rattray who are building really interesting, exciting companies, and Phin is already there. -How thoughtful Phin has been as I've seen him work through the idea maze of what a really unique firm offering would be. -And more stories that benefit him but that I can't share publicly. Congratulations Phin!

Congrats Phin Barnes - Check out Amia, we're building the first migraine-friendly food brand (creating a "Trigger-Free" food category) for the 40M Americans living with migraine. I think we'd make a great fit and we're in the formation stage that you look for. Raising a round right now. Our site is helloamia.com. Check it out 😀
Yes, great job! If 35% of that is specifically invested in founders from the Freedmen descendant class then that'll be 105M U.S. dollars for the most overlooked and ignored category of tech founders Thanks to SB 54 California's VCs (81 billion dollar investment industry) are required to invest in the federally protected Freedmen descendants of US chattel slaves and great-grandchildren of the Union Army https://medium.com/afrosapiophile/is-californias-sb-54-good-for-the-freedmen-descendant-class-29664e6e58db

Way to go, Phin, Dan, and the entire GP team, and congratulations on Fund II! Phin's consistency as an investor and friend embodies the qualities that make our ecosystem thrive and grow. When I talk with founders about which investors can help reframe and win or who offer clear-eyed, no-BS advice with thoughtful questions, Phin is consistently at the top of that list.
