I'm raising a venture fund, and I'm calling it Trust Fund.

Here’s how Fincent sourced Trust Fund's $250K check: they didn’t. When I chose their bookkeeping software for the fund’s management co., Picking Winners, LLC., little did I know that founder Hrush Bhatt was quietly building the most beautiful financial product I’d ever seen — with a team 100% based in Mumbai. Next thing you know I’m an investor, an advisor, have moved two LLCs and a S-corp onto it, and an so long on the product that I literally put my face and name on their homepage. I get paid five and six figures to promote B2B products to my near-million social followers — but with this one, I PAID UP. Check out and get Fincent for your business at https://www.fincent.com

It was a night to remember. Trust Fund partnered with Cherub to host LA's most promising Founders and Funders for a night of great drinks, new relationships, and supporting innovation with the best kind of support - MONEY ?? Thanks, Cherub co-founders Angeline Vuong Jaclyn Johnson and all of the amazing brands who filled the gift bags ??

I'm so thrilled to announce Feven Solomon as Trust Fund's first Analyst ?? Feven was most recently at M13 ?? working with Anna Barber and the team on deal sourcing, evaluating potential investments, and deep diligence, as well as supporting their fund-of-funds. Feven also supported M13 portfolio companies while building a strong network of early-stage investors and founders. Feven is a Vencapital Venture Fellow and a graduate of Boston University with a double major in Economics and Mathematics. She also received a certificate from Cornell University's Women and Entrepreneurship Program. Overachiever much? Congratulations to Feven Solomon on her well-earned new role! I'm so happy to have you on the team.
