API should allow Activities to be uploaded with a specified date and time.
For example, I upload all meeting notes generated by Gemini into DecileHub at end of day or beginning of next day so the info is available to DechileHub AI. But Cursor is unable to set the Activity time stamp to be the actual date / time of the meeting.

Section 4.4 requires a two-thirds LP vote to enter Limited Operations Mode following a "Material Breach." What kinds of breaches would typically qualify — is this limited to fraud/gross negligence, or could it include something like missing reporting deadlines?

In Section 4.3.3, conflict-of-interest matters now require approval by a Majority in Interest of Limited Partners instead of the Advisory Committee. In practice, how is a "conflicted" LP identified and excluded from that vote — is it self-disclosed, or does the GP make that determination?

Under the Cornerstone LPA, an LP default can lead to interest, offsetting distributions, or a sale at a discount. In practice for a small Fund I, how often are severe remedies used versus a cure or transfer, and what should the GP document?

The Cornerstone LPA gives the GP fair-value discretion while the Valuation Policy sets a process. For a seed fund holding mostly Level 3 assets, what evidence should trigger a write-down before a new financing establishes a lower price?

For a first-time emerging manager, what are the practical trade-offs between a deal-by-deal (American) waterfall and a whole-of-fund (European) waterfall from both GP and LP perspectives, especially around early carry and clawback risk?

How is 'Fair Value' for illiquid Portfolio Investments determined under the Cornerstone LPA, given the agreement just says it's 'determined by General Partner' and is final and binding?

Hi everyone,
For Sprint 7, I’ve been working on how I use AI inside our actual VC workflow at NextWorld Capital Fund I, and I’d really value your feedback on the setup and where you think it could be stronger.
I built a dedicated ChatGPT Project for NextWorld Signal Fund I as an AI-assisted operating workspace for live venture work. It is connected to the Fund’s Internal Data Room and uses custom instructions covering the investment thesis, evidence standards, governance, portfolio construction, LP fundraising discipline and AI boundaries.
I also use Venture Scouting, a dedicated ChatGPT Project for reviewing founder-submitted startup information. It turns founder inputs into a structured scouting assessment covering fund fit, founders, product, traction, market, business model, risks, missing evidence, investment readiness and next steps.
A strong example was a live underwriting review of FITINION, a Pre-Seed opportunity in our pipeline. The AI did more than summarize the company. It separated Claim / Documented / Verified evidence, kept the company correctly at the Diligence stage rather than treating it as an approved investment, identified missing product and traction evidence, flagged a potential conflict around NextWorld’s pre-existing 5% position, tested ownership against the Fund’s 10–12% planning target, and connected the opportunity to the Fund’s power-law return framework.
The part I found most useful is that AI can combine company-level information with fund strategy, governance, evidence standards and portfolio economics in one review. I see AI as especially useful for evidence organization, screening, diligence-gap identification, research synthesis, portfolio modeling and decision documentation. I see it as least useful for final investment judgment, founder trust assessment, legal/compliance decisions and anything that requires human accountability.
My biggest current gap is automation. Scout is still human-operated, so founder information is entered manually and downstream actions such as CRM updates are not yet automatic.
I’d really appreciate feedback on three things:
- What part of this setup do you find most useful or impressive?
- What would you improve or automate next?
- Is there any part of this workflow where you think AI is being used too much or not enough?
Thanks, direct feedback is very welcome.

I have a few new venture partners joining the fund. How do I establish the current purchase price for their equity in the GP?

What amendments do LPs most commonly request to the Cornerstone LPA, and how should an emerging GP decide which requests to accept, negotiate, or decline?
Community Member
Hi All, Reviewed the Cornerstone LPA via VC Lab/as a part of the VI assignment and wanted to check in - since the document gives a first-time GP flexibility to define the fund’s investment period and investment mandate. How did you decide which parts of your thesis needed to be written as firm investment restrictions versus left broad enough to give you judgment as the market and portfolio opportunities evolved?

What are the real failure-mode scenarios that the LPA template may not already cover? Ie. What happens if an LP can't pay a capital call? If I want to co-invest personally in a deal? If a dispute with an LP can't be resolved directly?
