It's a mostly useless list. The main problems are just like with startups - finding the right people, getting your product right and fundraising.
Amongst the questions not answered at all:
- How do you find good co-founders if you're not amongst the analyst legions at GS, MS or some other bank?
- How do you set your fund up, legally, technically, strategically, and foremost financially? Who funds you if every institutional investors wants either a prior track record or a list of credentials (partner/MD at mega-bank etc.)?
- How much money gets spent immediately on Bloomberg terminals, other database subscriptions etc?
- And: How do you make money? How do you go about executing an idea?

- dsplittgerber 16y agoThat's what you get for actually being interested in the topic - you miss the obvious.
- arethuza 16y agoAfter reading "The Big Short" and "The Quants" and having worked on the extreme periphery of investment banking I am also moderately interested in how these folks actually get started.
