Hedge Fund/Mutual Fund/Investment Portfolio in college.

How would I go about starting a hedge fund/mutual fund/ investment portfolio in college? I'd like to keep it legal of course, haha. Some classmates and I want to either pool in our money and that counts as your equity in the fund or we want to get funding from an outside source and be able to use ideas to invest with it. How should we go about this?

Have you looked into setting up a family office or maybe just an investment club (LLC)? Doesn't have to be a hedge fund or any other fancy name. Just an LLC with you and whomever else pooling money and investing with those funds. Kind of like an LLC minus the legal hula hoops and costs?
