Behind every power law investment curve is a power lawyer

As the GC of a high-growth investment fund, you’re the backoffice MVP. You manage everything from deal docs and liquidity transactions, to fund formation and compliance, to HR and operations. Is there anything you don’t get involved with?

Your partners and portfolio companies think you have all the answers to all the things they don’t, but no one does. That’s why you need a curated community of peers to lean on.

Lead with confidence

Membership is by invitation only and includes a wealth of benefits

From a custom-built member platform, to real-time data and surveys, to regular industry-leading conferences (any of which would typically cost thousands), membership in The L Suite’s FundGC community is all-encompassing and all-inclusive. That means that there are no additional fees or reimbursement requests — just an unsurpassed peer community that is carefully designed to accelerate your GC career. It’s the only membership that delivers exponential returns.

Proprietary Platform

This is not your basic Slack community or an off-the-shelf software that delivers a one-size-fits-all experience. We custom-built our own community platform from the ground up to support the unique needs of our FundGC members.

Explore platform

  • Connect & converse with your closest peers

    Discuss the most pressing issues of the moment. Get quick gut-checks on day-to-day questions, or strategic insights on big picture challenges. Ask the community at large, or target a specific sub-group or individual. The give-to-get culture means you’ll find plenty of GCs eager to pay it forward.

  • Powerful research at your fingertips

    Easily search through discussion archives and our comprehensive resource library for answers and insights. Leverage the peer forms repository for tried-and-true precedent, or bank your CLE credits from our extensive on-demand database of past events. Don’t reinvent the wheel or overpay for outside resources or advice.

  • Unbiased, peer-reviewed recommendations

    Find the best outside counsel and vendors for your specific needs, all vetted by your experienced peers and recommended in context. The L Suite’s proprietary expert database allows members to hone in on the right solution the first time, saving you valuable time and money.

Exclusive Events

We host dozens of curated events for the FundGC community every year, each focused on current legal issues and practical job advice for today’s VC, growth equity, and PE GCs. The peer relationships cultivated here last throughout your career.

International Conferences & Offsites

The community’s marquee events with industry-leading keynote speakers, panels on timely topics inspiring  actionable ideas, and deep-dive breakout sessions with your peer GCs who are grappling with the same issues as you. 

Local Meals & Special Events

Come together with your local peers for small-group discussions at the hottest restaurants, or make new connections while watching your favorite sports team from the box seats.  We curate the most impactful opportunities in your city.

The content alone is worth the price of admission but the real value is the network and active participation by the members. For most fund GC's who run solo shops, it's a great reminder that you're not alone.

Compensation Surveys

Compensation data is highly-confidential and notoriously difficult to find. Our exclusive give-to-get annual comp surveys close that knowledge gap, with detailed analyses and dynamic breakdowns across the full range of relevant variables.

Topical Surveys

We go deep with insights and analysis on the core day-to-day topics that our members are grappling with. This includes everything from cloud transaction contract terms to privacy trends to cybersecurity best practices, and much more.

Benchmarking Surveys

We periodically survey our members to provide helpful benchmarking data on evergreen operating topics as well as rapidly emerging new situations. From legal department sizing to market condition adjustments (layoffs, budget cuts), and everything in between.

It’s a great community you’ve built and I appreciate all the resources.
