For providing services to Venture Funds, BITKRAFT receives a management fee of 2.25% per annum, calculated on the sum of the capital commitments of all of the Limited Partners as of the first day of each fiscal quarter; provided, however, that some of the limited partners in BITKRAFT Ventures Fund III, L.P. pay between 1.75% and 2% per annum until the fourth anniversary of the Initial Contribution Date. The management fee shall be payable in advance in equal quarterly installments. For any partial quarters, the management fee is prorated based in the number of days in such quarter. Beginning with the first full quarter, following the fifth anniversary of the Initial Contribution Date, the management fee percentage shall decrease by 0.25% per year (i.e., annual management fee of 2.25% of the capital commitments to 2.0%, 1.75%, and so on) but will not be reduced below 1.5%. Distributions to investors in the Venture Funds are also subject to carried interest (after return of capital) payable to BITKRAFT, and/or its affiliates. (see also Item 6-Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management). Pursuant to agreements previously entered into between the Adviser and each Anchor Limited Partner (“ALP”), the Venture Funds shall receive reduced management fees with respect to each ALP’s interest in and contributions to the Partnership (such foregone amount in respect of all ALP shall be referred to as the “ALP Fee Savings”). BITKRAFT Ventures Opportunity Fund I, L.P.: For providing services to the BITKRAFT Ventures Opportunity Fund I, L.P (“Opportunity Fund”), BITKRAFT receives a management fee for each of the Partnership’s Fiscal Quarters (or portions thereof), commencing on the Initial Contribution Date. The management fee shall be an amount equal to 0.30% of the product of (i) the Limited Partner Percentage and (ii) the cost basis of Portfolio Securities that have not been sold for cash or sold for Marketable Securities that have been distributed, distributed in kind to the Partners, or written off for federal income tax purposes by the Partnership as of the first day of each such Fiscal Quarter (subject to reduction as a result of the ALP Fee Savings). Distributions to investors in the Opportunity Fund are also subject to carried interest (after return of capital) payable to BITKRAFT, and/or its affiliates. (see also Item 6-Performance-Based Fees and Side- By-Side Management). BITKRAFT Ventures Token Fund I, L.P. and BITKRAFT Ventures Token Fund II, L.P. For providing services to the BITKRAFT Ventures Token Fund I, L.P and BITKRAFT Ventures Token Fund II, L.P. (“Token Funds”), BITKRAFT receives a management fee for each of the Partnership’s Fiscal Quarters (or portions thereof), commencing on the Initial Contribution Date. The management fee shall be an amount equal to 0.625% of the sum of the Capital Commitments from all of the Limited Partners (subject to reduction as a result of the ALP Fee Savings) as of the first day of each such Fiscal Quarter (or portion thereof). Beginning with the first full Fiscal Quarter following the fifth anniversary of the Initial Contribution Date, the annual management fee percentage shall be reduced by 0.25% per year (i.e., the annual management fee percentage shall decrease from 2.50% of the Capital Commitments of all Limited Partners to 2.25%, to 2.00%, and so on) but shall not be reduced below 1.50% (subject to reduction as a result of the ALP Fee Savings). Distributions to investors in the Token Funds are also subject to carried interest (after return of capital) payable to BITKRAFT, and/or its affiliates. (see also Item 6-Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management). Expenses of the Funds Investors in each Fund, by virtue of their investment therein, generally bear all expenses related to the organization of, and the offering and sale of interests in, such Fund (which may include, without limitation, legal fees, accounting fees and various filing fees) as well as all expenses related to such BITKRAFT Fund’s investment activities and ongoing operations (which may include without limitation, diligence costs related to the identification of potential investments (whether or not such investments are consummated)), legal (including diligence, drafting, and negotiation expenses), custody fees, accounting and tax preparation fees, consulting fees, travel and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition, management or disposition of investments, insurance costs and litigation and marketing and publicity and other extraordinary expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, investors in each BITKRAFT Fund generally do not bear the costs of compensation of BITKRAFT’s personnel and certain other general overhead expenses of BITKRAFT. A more specific description of the types of fees and expenses borne by a BITKRAFT Fund may be found in the offering and governing documents of the applicable BITKRAFT Fund. Investors and prospective investors in any BITKRAFT Fund should review the offering and governing documents for such BITKRAFT Fund carefully before investing. |

Item 7. Types of Clients BITKRAFT provides investment management services only to pooled investment vehicles. BITKRAFT may, in the future, provide investment advice to other funds (i.e., investment partnerships or other investment entities formed under domestic or foreign laws and operated as private funds exempted from the definition of investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended). BITKRAFT’s current and prospective investors typically include individuals, banks or thrift institutions, other investment entities or other corporations or business entities and generally include, directly or indirectly, principals or other employees of BITKRAFT. BITKRAFT Funds are offered exclusively to “accredited investors” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933) and “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940) or qualified knowledgeable BITKRAFT personnel. Prospective investors or advisory clients may be required to meet additional suitability requirements, and minimum investment commitments are generally established for investors. However, BITKRAFT has discretion to permit investments below the minimum amounts set forth in the offering documents of the respective and prospective funds. Item 8. Method of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss BITKRAFT’s investment strategy focuses on identifying strong operating businesses in the gaming, esports, and interactive media industries with a strong prospect for growth. BITKRAFT Esports Ventures Fund I, L.P., BITKRAFT Ventures Fund II, L.P. and BITKRAFT Ventures Fund III, L.P. The Venture Funds, target investment opportunities in Seed Round and Series A startup companies. The Venture Funds seek early-stage exposure in companies focused on content, interactive platforms, horizontal technologies, and applied game mechanics. BITKRAFT implements a rigorous due diligence process that leverages industry relationships and a portfolio of existing founders that serve as a strategic advantage. Founders of BITKRAFT’s portfolio companies are serial entrepreneurs with a proven track record. BITKRAFT evaluates potential investments in companies with a unique moat and promising key performance indicators in growing markets. Furthermore, upon investment, BITKRAFT implements an active involvement approach in the advisory capacity, where they serve as true value-add partners. BITKRAFT Ventures Opportunity Fund I, L.P. The Opportunity Fund targets investment opportunities in follow-on investments sourced from the Venture Funds and other Series B, Series C or later-stage companies. The Opportunity Fund seeks to supplement the Venture Funds and provide increased exposure in companies as they enter the Series B and Series C rounds. The Opportunity Fund will only invest in the portfolio company when the pro rata or allocation opportunity is larger than what is appropriate in the Venture Funds or the Venture Funds are not able to invest because they have no more capital. Additionally, the Opportunity Fund will also target very selective later stage opportunities in gaming, esports, and interactive media. BITKRAFT Ventures Token Fund I, L.P. and BITKRAFT Ventures Token Fund II, L.P. The Token Funds target (a) investments in cryptocurrencies, decentralized application tokens, app coins, protocol tokens, non-fungible tokens and other similar digital and crypto-finance instruments and assets, the ownership or transmission of which is recorded or verified by a distributed ledger (including a “blockchain” or directed acyclic graph) or other similar technology, and securities and instruments that are related to, derived from or convertible into or exchangeable for such assets or that represent interests in pools of such assets (“Digital Assets”) and securities of companies that operate in the blockchain, distributed ledger or similar technology industries, (b) investing in similar interests that are related to or derived from Digital Assets or that represent interests in pools of Digital Assets and (c) investing in and holding equity and equity-oriented securities of privately held companies that issue, or have businesses related to, Digital Assets. The Token Funds will invest in privately held, early-stage companies in the interactive media sector, including in particular the video game, blockchain and “Esports” industries. Such companies typically have little or no revenues and are not profitable. They require considerable additional capital to develop technologies and markets, acquire customers and achieve or maintain a competitive position. GENERAL RISK FACTORS Overall Investment Risk. All securities investments risk the loss of capital and there can be no assurance that the Funds will not incur losses (or that investors therein will not lose some or all of their invested capital). Additionally, as explained more fully in each Fund’s offering documents, the investment program of each Fund involves a substantial degree of risk. Dependence on Key Personnel. The success of the Funds’ investment activities depends upon the experience and expertise of BITKRAFT personnel. Investors will have no right or power to participate in the management of a Fund. Accordingly, no investor should purchase any interest in a Fund unless it is willing to entrust all aspects of management of such Fund to BITKRAFT. Investors will be relying on the management expertise of BITKRAFT in identifying, acquiring, administering and disposing of investments by a Fund. In addition, if for any reason any of BITKRAFT’s principals should cease to be involved in the management of a Fund, suitable replacements may be difficult to obtain, with the result that the performance of a Fund may be adversely affected. The loss of one or more of BITKRAFT’s Managing Members or other senior investment professionals could adversely affect the Funds’ ability to source, evaluate or manage investments. ... |
