The AI Fund Stack: Run Your Fund Like a 100M Operation

The full-fund AI playbook: fundraising, portfolio management, and fund admin

Every week there's a new AI tool, a new workflow, a new thing you're supposed to be using, and none of it comes with instructions for fund managers running lean. So instead of building something that works, you're stuck: paying for tools you're not using, trying things in isolation, and running a live fund on spreadsheets because nothing fits how you actually operate.

With The AI Fund Stack, you'll build a fully operational AI infrastructure across your fund. Draft LP updates and deal memos faster, build a repeatable screening process, and present to LPs with the quality of a fund ten times your size.

I'm building Spirit Capital as a Solo GP. Before this, I co-founded Future Africa, deployed $10M into 50+ startups, and built a 300+ member angel syndicate. When I integrated AI into my current fund's operations everything changed.

I've privately taught some of this to fund managers and investors and received outstanding reviews.

Nobody was teaching it end to end, so I built the course I wished had existed when I was starting out with leveraging AI in my fund operations. Every module produces something you implement on your real fund that week.

What you’ll learn

By the end of this course, you'll have replaced your most time-consuming fund operations with systems that run themselves.

  • Audit your current workflows and map where AI can create the greatest leverage.

  • Build an AI tool stack suited to your fund stage, size, and existing platforms.

  • Create market research workflows that automatically surface sector trends.
