Introduction to FundSetup
Starting a fund should be exciting, not overwhelming. That’s exactly why I built FundSetup to take the complexity out of launching investment funds and turn it into a smooth, streamlined journey. If you’re planning to start a hedge fund, crypto fund, private equity vehicle, or real estate structure, you’re in the right place.
I created FundSetup because I knew the struggle firsthand. Legal red tape, endless paperwork, unclear compliance, been there, done that. So I decided to build a single platform that does it all. And guess what? It works.
