Browder Capital launched its institutional Fund IV with AngelList in June 2025. Browder switched to AngelList after his previous fund administrator for Funds I-III fell short of expectations around LP experience. The dedicated account management team at AngelList runs Browder Capital’s back-office operations, coordinates with outside counsel, and provides white-glove service to his institutional LP base.
Joshua Browder, founder and CEO of online legal services company DoNotPay and General Partner of Browder Capital, faced a crucial transition moment that many emerging managers encounter. While an upstart fund administrator helped Browder launch his first three funds quickly, the LP experience with that partner was not meeting the increasingly high expectations of his investor base. As he prepared to raise Fund IV, he wanted a high-velocity partner that could deliver his LPs a smooth onboarding experience and timely reporting.
Joshua was already familiar with the AngelList platform from his own experience as an LP. For Browder Capital’s Fund IV, the top 5 LP commitments accounted for 71.7% of committed capital. Given this concentration and the institutional profile of these investors, it was critical that the fund’s infrastructure be capable of scaling to meet—and exceed—their growing expectations.
The nuanced workflows and high caliber of Browder Capital’s institutional investor base demanded a more tailored approach. The firm’s dedicated AngelList account team led a coordinated effort to help Joshua raise and launch a venture fund that best served his LPs, including:
AngelList has been an amazing partner to me in getting institutional ready.
Browder Capital successfully closed Fund IV with backing from premier institutions, including Sequoia Capital and Cendana Capital. The combination of AngelList’s Customer Relations and Limited Partner Relations teams working hand-in-hand enabled the solo GP to maintain fundraising momentum and close institutional investors without delays.
Browder Capital’s fund launch positioned the firm as institutional-ready with robust operational infrastructure. Fund IV operates with the credibility and operational sophistication that institutional investors require, while maintaining the agility that defines successful emerging managers. For solo GP Joshua Browder, that solid infrastructure means he can focus his energy on making investments, evaluating deal flow, and going all-in on the next overlooked technical founder in his portfolio–without having to worry about back-office operations.
