Vanilla
$100+ billion closed – without the paper cuts.
The future of fund formation, served up simply.
Fund formation has only grown more complex – managing it shouldn’t be. Too many fund managers are still piecing together scattered tools, manual handoffs and disconnected legal review just to get a fund off the ground. Vanilla changes that. Built by Cooley, the vertically integrated platform brings fund managers, investors, and in-house and the fund’s Cooley counsel into one system that stays with you from the very first fund through scale.
Vanilla has powered more than $100 billion in fund formations by replacing scattered, ad hoc workflows with a single, vertically integrated system designed to help managers earn confidence from LPs and unlock new capital as funds scale and stakes rise.
