After the exit, your founders will ask. Have an answer.

When does this partnership matter most?

After a secondary sale, acquisition, or initial public offering, a founder may consider a first collector watch, aircraft, yacht, art purchase, or private sale. Founders often ask the board or fund for a trusted introduction.

A standing partnership gives the fund a known route before the request arrives. It also gives the founder a desk that starts with the intended use, budget, ownership structure, timing, and risk limits. We do not begin with available inventory.

What does the partnership provide?

The partnership gives founders a vetted introduction path to a named desk. First-time buyers receive a needs review before any asset is selected. The same desk can serve a fund partner's personal mandate, subject to a separate scope and confidentiality terms. We do not use a founder's transaction as marketing and do not market assets back to the fund's network.

• A vetted introduction path. A founder reaches a named contact and receives the agreed confidentiality process.
• First-buyer discipline. Aircraft needs come before model selection. Watch and bag authentication comes before payment. Art provenance and condition come before commitment.
• Privacy by default. A founder's purchase or sale is not used as press material.
• Partner access. A GP can request a separate personal mandate through the same desk.
• Disclosed economics. Referral terms, if any, are stated to the relevant parties before work begins.

What this is not

Not a perk program with a logo wall, not a discount club, and not a data play. We do not market to your portfolio, we do not publish who we serve, and no founder is ever contacted without an introduction you initiated.

Which founder requests are a good fit?

A good fit has a real transaction question and a decision window. The founder may need to compare ownership and charter options before buying an aircraft. They may want an independent view of a watch offered through a private channel. They may need a quiet exit from a collection without public auction exposure. A request for general luxury access, discounts, or speculative price promises is not enough to start a mandate.

The founder should be ready to identify the buyer or seller, the source of funds where required by transaction providers, the expected use of the asset, the budget range, and the advisers who must approve ownership or tax choices. We ask for this information in a controlled intake after confidentiality terms are clear.

How does a founder mandate move from introduction to decision?

The fund makes a permission-based introduction. Passion Asset Advisory then confirms whether it can act, discloses its role, and proposes a written scope. The founder approves the brief before sourcing or buyer outreach begins. We organize candidate evidence, specialist findings, price references, and open risks in a form that supports a decision. The founder and their advisers approve every commitment.

Our role is transaction advice and coordination for the passion asset. We do not provide legal, tax, investment, lending, insurance, or technical inspection services. We can coordinate with the founder's chosen professionals, but those professionals remain responsible for their advice.

What are the engagement and fee expectations?

The fund partnership defines the introduction protocol, confidentiality rules, contact ownership, and any referral economics. Each founder transaction still receives its own mandate. Fees and possible conflicts are confirmed in writing before chargeable work begins. The amount and structure depend on the asset and the work, so the page does not state a universal fee.

To assess a VC fund partnership, send the fund type, the usual founder profile, the asset categories that generate questions, and the team member who will own introductions. Passion Asset Advisory will reply with a proposed protocol. No founder list is needed for the first discussion.
