Launch your fund with Homefield.
Homefield provides fund formation and fund launch services for emerging fund managers.

We provide the fund infrastructure and fund administration, you build the future.
BUILT FOR
The organizations and individuals closest to founders, ready to deploy capital on their own terms.
ACCELERATORS & INCUBATORS
You have spent years building a pipeline of founders worth backing, and you are done handing them off to outside investors who will never know them like you do.
COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES
Commercializing academic technology means bridging the valley of death, with returns flowing back to your institution and alumni who want to back the next generation.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPERS
You are doing the work to build and support local companies, and sometimes all they need is a small check at the right moment to stay and scale instead of leaving for a market that can fund them.
You have been writing checks off your own balance sheet, but without fund structure, every deal means new legal docs, no carry, and no way to bring other investors along.
ANGELS & INVESTOR GROUPS
ABOUT
Why Homefield? Because you know your founders best.
At Homefield, we believe the people closest to founders should be the ones deploying capital. We're not a platform that takes a slice of your carry or buries you in someone else's brand. We're not here to make you a "deal lead" on someone else's fund.
We're the infrastructure behind your fund, your brand, your relationships with LPs.
Whether you're an accelerator ready to back your alumni, a university commercializing research, or an economic development organization tired of watching good companies leave for better-funded markets, we are here to help you launch a fund that's actually yours.
We built Homefield because we've seen how broken the current options are. The DIY route costs nearly six figures in legal fees, takes over a year before you write a single check, and then requires ongoing fund management and expert hires when you are focused on running programs and getting companies capital. Per-deal SPVs charge thousands every time you invest, which destroys the economics of small checks. And the other platforms? They want your carry, your GP control, or both.
None of those paths were designed for people like you.
So we created one that was: Homefield Fund.
APPROACH
Our Approach: Your Fund, Your Way, Our Infrastructure
Your Fund, Your Way, Our Infrastructure.
We skip the massive legal bills and endless timelines and get straight to what matters: getting capital into the hands of founders who need it.
We handle the legal structure, compliance, fund administration, and reporting. You keep 100% of your carry, complete GP control, and your brand front and center. No carry splits, no hidden fees, no platform taking credit for your work.
We stay invisible.

FAQs
Frequently Asked… and Gladly Answered
-
Homefield includes education on fund economics, LP conversations, deal structuring, and portfolio management. You complete courses and submit a fund formation plan before launch. You are not handed a legal entity and left to figure it out. You are not dropped into a Slack channel with 500 strangers. You learn what you need, when you need it, with direct support.
-
SPV platforms charge $4,000 to $8,000 per deal. If you are writing $25,000 checks, a significant percentage goes to formation costs before any capital reaches a founder. A Homefield fund gives you one set of documents, one fundraise, and economics that work at community scale.
-
We help you structure a portfolio that might include convertible notes, shared earnings agreements, and revenue-based instruments alongside traditional equity. Not every company follows a traditional venture path. Your fund structure should reflect that.
