Go in a different direction for a while.
V1 is almost looking credible and trust worth for a fund, with it's heavy, centred, slightly old fashioned styling. But you lost it with the Starwars "Starters" font.
Also the orange 90˚ rotated 'S' is fluff isn't it? I mean, what does that represent? A fund? A start?
Dig deeper. Question everything. If you can't give an answer to as why you drew something, then loose it. If you can not give a solid reason, eg "this represents a fund(graphic of coins)" or "these whoosh lines represent a start" etc... then delete those elements.

how about for a grfx - a very simple, clean vector, single colour stack of coins - and the top coin is a stop watch –> Starters fund.

^ or a bank note with a stop watch graphic in the middle instead of a dead president.

We are leaning towards v2.

V1, because it will shrink and work in a pile of other logos if you're in some co-branding thing in the future... more horizontal logos drown in a sea of other logos if they're piled together

Dont like the symbol in the 2nd one at all. I have no idea what it's supposed to be, which is a problem. Is it just some random design? A symbol should have a purpose behind, something that's apparent to the viewer.

Also, red usually signifies a bad return or negative cash flow.
- Aren't we all in the negative cash flow though?utopian
- lol, even still, this is a startup fund business!monospaced
- color will be brown / salad greenpauliusuza

'At least try these ideas so you can eliminate them if they don't work'
lol, why would you need to try creating a logo that looks like clip art to know it doesn't work?

Rather than just presenting two logos with no context, why not provide some kind of background or rationale between the two approaches, and an explanation of what you are trying to communicate? That way, rather than just commenting on aesthetics, we can provide feedback on which is better at fulfilling it's purpose.
- but, but that would make our comments relevant... this is QBN, we are only here to waste our time, right?Amicus
- haha, true!Nathan_Adams
