What Decile Group does

Decile Group is a venture capital platform and operating system for emerging fund managers, headquartered in San Francisco with a remote-first team across 10+ countries. The company was spun out of the Founder Institute in 2021 and is led by CEO Adeo Ressi, with co-founder Mike Suprovici running the acceleration function. Its product stack covers the full VC lifecycle: VC Lab and Emerging Institute deliver training and accelerator programs; Start Fund and Decile Partners handle fund formation and back-office administration; Decile Hub is the AI-powered SaaS core managing deal flow, capital calls, LP portals, and portfolio monitoring; and Decile Capital, Decile Pro, and Decile Access serve the LP side as fund-of-funds and marketplace products. The company reports having launched 853-900+ VC firms representing 50%+ of all new manager formations globally, $1.5B in LP commitments processed, 1,200+ firms actively using Decile Hub monthly, and a $15MM revenue run rate with zero churn as of 2025.

The platform is differentiated by agentic AI capabilities that automate capital calls, investor reporting, tax preparation, compliance, cap table management, and LP communications, trained on a proprietary corpus of 30,000+ VC questions. Revenue comes from subscription SaaS (Decile Hub), recurring fund administration fees (Decile Partners, 94 NPS), 1% annual management fees on Start Fund vehicles, accelerator program fees (VC Lab), and a managed fund-of-funds (Decile Capital). Distribution combines self-serve PLG funnels (free Venture Institute training), application-based acceleration (VC Lab), and direct sales for enterprise administration. The company has raised $14M in July 2025 from Draper Associates, Geek Ventures, Javelin Venture Partners, and Evolution VC Partners, and is actively expanding into the Middle East and preparing for a 2029 IPO.
