Hedge fund capital raising opps

Hi there,

For background I'm a newly minted graduated out of target, with no more finance experience other than described below.

I'm currently interning in a very niche, quite new (less than 4y) hedge fund with just over 50m AUM.
I've been working very hard at the fund and I'm getting along extremely well with senior management. They've indicated they are willing to offer me a full-time stint come the fall– which I'm very happy about. However, they've also made clear we're in a critical moment of institutional capital raising and that the fund, despite good results, might close if the raise doesn't go ahead as planned, as staying small is not interesting for the founders. The capital raising process has been going for some months but everyone's adamant that early/mid fall is the deadline for success. I also have an offer for a long-term stint in a good buyside BB. The problem is that I need to give an answer back soon, well before the capital raising might complete. I am asking this question as I've already been part of quite a few startups (not in finance) and was left in the cold when capital raising failed. This hurt my subsequent job applications to major asset managers/banks/HFs .

Will it be the same in the hedge fund industry?

Does looking for a job after a stint in a closed HF shop carry a stigma/devalue your experience? Will it be perceived negatively that I abandoned the fund at its most critical juncture if it succeeds and I want to come back? Or will I be perceived as more valuable because wanted elsewhere?

I am not asking for the probability of raising per say but rather the positioning I should take with re to this matter according to what the industry's culture/perception is with re to this situation.
