Public fund size: Stakeboat publicly identifies Fund I, Fund II and a GIFT City Fund but does not disclose current corpus sizes on the reviewed pages.. Public terms or access information: Lower-middle-market control, co-control, buyout and structured-capital investments; vehicle-specific cheque sizes and reserves are not consistently public.. Current fees, minimum commitment and availability must be confirmed for the exact named vehicle in its fund documents.
