Solo GPs, solo capitalists and emerging fund managers who run a fund with little or no staff.
If you need help raising a fund, introductions to LPs or investment advice, we do not provide them. If you have no portfolio yet, the free exercise at of1.ai/ask may help you structure decisions first.
$2,000 $400 an hour · 5-hour blocks
A $2,000 block (five hours) can work toward a sourcing research routine, a memo template that separates facts from judgment, or a portfolio digest, each with the step you check by hand. We agree the focus at the start.
$45,000 minimum · $15,000 a month · 3-month term
Build makes sense when your fund’s operating budget can carry the $45,000 three-month minimum ($15,000 a month for up to 5 processes) and the routines save more than they cost. That is a question for you and your fund administrator, not advice from us.
| Level | Price | At once | Three-month minimum | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Build | $15,000 a month | Up to 5 business processes at once | $45,000 | The base level. |
| Build Plus | $25,000 a month | Up to 10 business processes at once | $75,000 | Adds processes that talk to your customers live or touch health, payment or student records, same-day requests, and 2 of your people trained as champions. |
| Build Program | $50,000 a month | Up to 20 business processes at once, across departments | $150,000 | Adds a named person on call around the clock as your backup, one shared platform piece at a time, and an MSA, a DPA, insurance and a security review. |
Processes that touch payment records, such as capital calls, are listed in Build Plus ($25,000 a month, $75,000 minimum), as are any that talk to LPs or founders live. An MSA, a DPA, insurance and a security review are listed in Build Program. Ask, and we confirm the scope in writing.
New software products and replacing a core system are quoted separately. Our shared 24/7 rotation covers only the systems we build with you, with response terms in writing.
Optional arithmetic on your own numbers, to set beside the commitments above. It runs only in this browser tab: there are no default figures, and nothing is saved or sent.
Three months is counted as 13 weeks. This is not an estimate of savings: a system would not remove all of this work, your team’s time during the build counts too, and quality and risk matter as much as hours.
Before choosing Build
The total cost of today’s work is not the amount a system will save. Count only the time, errors or delays you have a credible plan to remove.
For work judged by quality, service or risk, agree how you will evaluate those outcomes too. A saving or improvement is something to measure, not a promise this page can make.
You are probably the decision maker. If your fund documents or administrator require approval for operating spend, send them the Consult price, what the block produces and, for Build, the three-month minimum.
Choose a hire when you need someone to take meetings, build relationships and grow toward partner.
We set up routines that carry drafting and organizing. An associate carries judgment and relationships.
Choose them for accounting, capital accounts and regulatory filings.
We work on the partner’s own workflows, such as sourcing, memos, portfolio support and the letter, and leave fund accounting to them.
The free Of One exercise helps you map a decision and its open questions. Work through it in your browser, without an email gate or AI. Sending your answers for help is optional.
