How does Flowers Equity Partners Management help me launch a fund?
Traditionally, launching a fund is confusing, expensive, and time intensive, requiring you to figure out everything on your own and self-assemble and manage a team of fragmented vendors over many months. Additionally, emerging funds are a low priority for service providers, which favor seasoned clients. Finally, let’s not forget the bad actors out there when you go cheap, which carries significant risks.
What makes us different?
Aside from the unique turnkey nature of our services, we have a special relationship with the fund services industry. Reginald Flowers, founder and CEO of Flowers Equity Partners Management, knows the difficulty of being an emerging fund manager. You become a benefactor of his struggles to get started raising millions of dollars & creating an aggregate enterprise portfolio value that exceeds $500 million to date.

Does Flowers Equity Partners Management provide legal advice? Is Flowers Equity Partners Management a substitute for licensed, third-party counsel?
No, Flowers Equity Partners Management is not licensed to provide legal advice or as lawyers. Therefore, the information offered by Flowers Equity Partners Management should not be fact- and circumstances specific or legal advice and is for informational purposes only.
Should I get legal counsel for my fund?
We highly recommend that anyone consider seeking counsel, but whether or not you decide to retain counsel is your decision.
It may be wise to have your counsel review offering documents during the launch process.
If Flowers Equity Partners Management isn’t legal counsel, what about the find offering documents?
Flowers Equity Partners Management provides fund-offering documents in association with Bull Blockchain Law on a templated basis. As a result, the offering documents' elements are adjusted. Still, such adjustments use either templated statements corresponding to your fund’s strategy at your discretion, and subject to your ultimate approval or are non-advisory in nature, such as the adjustment of fee structures, lockups, and other operational elements of the fund.
Flowers Equity Partners Management trusts its high-quality fund offering documents drafted in such a way that they are broadly applicable to a prototypical emerging manager. Still, inherent risks are associated with our offering document’s more generalized nature if not specified.
As a Flowers Equity Partners Management client and fund manager, it is your responsibility to understand those risks and seek counsel and advice as appropriate or in addition to the Flowers Equity Partners Management services at your discretion.
