Starting a hedge fund traditionally costs between $75,000 to $150,000 in upfront expenses, plus thousands more in monthly operational costs. These barriers have kept hedge fund creation exclusive to those with significant capital or institutional backing.
We've changed that. Here's exactly how much you'll save with Hedgia.

How We Make It So Accessible
Automated Documentation
We've built technology that generates complete, professionally structured fund documents in minutes, built on standardized templates that apply state-specific conditions automatically.
Economies of Scale
By serving hundreds of funds, we spread operational costs across our entire platform, reducing the burden on individual fund managers.
Streamlined Operations
Our platform handles reporting, taxes, and administration automatically, eliminating the need for expensive third-party administrators.
The Bottom Line
Traditional hedge fund creation has been gatekept by high costs, not because they're necessary, but because the industry hasn't modernized. We've rebuilt the entire process from scratch.
Launching a hedge fund often demands $100,000+ and the early engagement of attorneys, accountants, and administrators before the first investor comes on board.
Hedgia streamlines the process: start with as little as $5,000 in capital, pay $89/month for the platform (which includes 3 manager seats, plus $30/month for each additional seat and 0.2% of AUM above $1 million, capped), and focus on what matters—your market experience—while coordinating professional support as needed.
