Today, we are announcing our new fund, @CendanaCapital 6. It was our fastest fundraise ever, and had interest well above our $400M hard cap. We added a handful of new institutional LPs–including for the first time, 2 public pension funds. We are particularly keen that a number of our LPs are mission driven–they are the financial engines for a number of world-class educational and not-for-profit organizations, and of course, public pension funds that provide the retirement benefits to their members. We are grateful for the trust and support of our LPs!

Armed with the pattern recognition built over the past 15 years, and the willingness to be both creative and open to refining our approach, we are super excited about the opportunities over the next few years. Chaos is a ladder–for most people, chaos leads to confusion, inaction and ultimately failure. If we remain clear-eyed about our mission, execute accordingly and become true partners along the way to our LPs and to our GPs, we are confident that we can lead the way.

Our investment thesis at Cendana Capital is that smaller funds outperform.   We’ve now taken that to the nano level with our new Cendana Nano fund—focusing on investing in sub $15MM seed and pre-seed VC funds. https://t.co/ylsPc6RQNA

“Tony Jarvis was an amazing force for good, a once-in-a-lifetime teacher, friend, and leader. We will not see his kind again.” - Headmaster Kerry Brennan on the passing of The Reverend F. Washington Jarvis, Roxbury Latin's transformative tenth Headmaster.

Too much capital over time creates a culture that substitutes cash for creativity & discipline @epaley @fcollective
