For years you've been finding founders, growing companies, and building an ecosystem that works. You have the trust, the traction, and the track record. Now it's time to build a Homefield Fund.Homefield gives you the playbook and the platform to launch your first fund.
The organizations that are closest to founders — the accelerators, the incubators, university programs, and entrepreneurial support programs — already have what most investors spend years chasing: trust, traction, and a track record of building companies that work. What they don't have is the infrastructure, the playbook, or the capital to make Fund One real.
That's the gap Homefield closes.
We give you everything you need to launch and run your first fund — and we invest in it with you. A fund doesn't just let you back founders. It gives your organization something grants and programs never will: a sustainable engine you own, one that grows as your founders grow. Because Fund One isn't a dream. It's a decision.
Our manifesto:
We support fund managers deploying creative capital
We serve people who serve their communities.
You've spent years finding founders, watching their companies grow, and building something your community depends on. You know who's going to make it. You've seen the traction up close. If anyone should be writing checks, it's you.
But the system wasn't built for you. The upfront costs are too high. The economics of a small fund don't work. And every tool on the market was built for people building portfolios. Not for people building communities.
Homefield is your bridge from program to fund.
We are...........From "should we do this?" to "here's how." We work with you to figure out if a fund is the right move, build the documents to raise capital, and design portfolio construction and investment instruments for your companies. You don't need fund experience. You need a guide who's done it before.
1 —Your playbookCreative capital solutions for communities looking to deploy capital into companies that are not venture backable. Term sheets. Fund formation. Fund management. Bank accounts. All templatized. All built in. Branded as your fund. We're in the background.
2 — Your platformWe put in the 1% GP commitment so you don't have to come out of pocket. You don't pay us anything except from what you raise.
3 — Your PartnerMost organizations don't go from program to fund overnight. They start with a question: could this actually work for us? '
That’s why we created:
NEW FUNDERS STUDIO
-
If you run an accelerator, incubator, university program, or similar organization with a portfolio of companies — yes, you likely can. We start by figuring out if it's the right move and what kind of fund makes sense.
-
Fund managers are typically expected to invest 1% of the fund size themselves. We cover that for you so it's not a barrier.
-
No. That's what the playbook is for. We walk you through every step — from "is this a good idea?" to "your fund is live."
-
Yes. Your LPs and founders see your name, not ours. We stay in the background.
-
New Funders Studio is our education program. Homefield is the playbook, platform, and investment to launch and run your fund. Many people start with New Funders Studio, which helps them fundraise, and move to Homefield when they're ready.
