Castle Fund accepted to Coolwater Capital

YC for emerging managers

Excited to share that I’m joining Cohort 12 of Coolwater Capital’s Fund Manager Program!

Thrilled to have Castle Fund in this incredible group of emerging fund managers, learning from world-class investors, LPs, and operators on all things launching, scaling, and institutionalizing a venture fund. Looking forward to sharpening my approach to fund management, and pitching at the Coolwater Investor Summit on May 20, 2025.

Coolwater Capital was founded by Winter Mead, who previously co-managed all fund of funds investments at Sapphire Ventures ($10B+ AUM), where he led fund investments into early-stage VC funds that have generated $600M in net value to LPs, as well as at Hall Capital ($40B+ AUM), where he co-led investments in General Catalyst, Khosla Ventures, Thrive Capital, Bain Capital, Ares, 5AM Venture, Thoma Bravo and others.

To date, Coolwater Capital cohort funds have raised $3B+.

Huge thanks to @Coolwater Capital and the broader community for building such a valuable platform for the next generation of venture investors.
