Questions, answered.

What is VC of One?

VC of One (vcofone.ai) is run by Utlyze for solo GPs and emerging fund managers. It teaches the operating side of a small fund with AI, sourcing, diligence support, portfolio work and LP reporting, and builds those systems with managers who want them built.

What is a solo GP?

A venture fund led by a single general partner who makes the investment decisions. Many solo GPs run with little or no staff and lean on service providers for fund administration, legal and tax.

How can emerging managers use AI?

For research on sectors and founders, first drafts of investment memos, tracking portfolio updates, and drafting the quarterly LP letter. A person checks every fact before it is used or sent.

Can AI do due diligence?

It can speed up research and document review, and it can flag questions worth asking. Verification, reference calls and the investment decision stay with the partner.

Is anything here investment advice?

No. VC of One is education about fund operations and tools. It is not an offer to buy or sell securities, and it is not investment, legal, tax or accounting advice. Talk to your own counsel and fund administrator about your fund.

Do you help raise a fund or introduce LPs?

No. We do not raise capital, place securities, introduce investors or promise any fundraising outcome. We work on how the fund runs: the workflows, the tools and the partner’s skill with them.

What stays with the general partner?

Every investment decision, every fact that goes to LPs, and every duty the fund documents assign to the GP. AI can draft and organize; it does not sign, decide or certify.

How much are Consult and Build?

Consult: $400 an hour, sold in blocks of five hours, a minimum of $2,000 per booking. Build is $15,000 a month. Each month, pick up to 5 business processes for our build-with-you coaches to work on. They build your AI systems with you and teach your team to run them. If you ever leave, the systems stay with you. Agents work only on your fund’s systems, and a shared 24/7 on-call rotation answers, with response times in writing.

How is this different from Business of One?

VC of One covers running a fund: deal flow, diligence, the portfolio and LPs. Business of One covers running an operating business. Both are run by Utlyze and offer Consult and Build on identical terms.
