A senior extension of your fundraising team.
We advise fund managers and platform sponsors on LP capital formation, anchor structuring, cornerstone commitments, and bespoke vehicles — from first-time institutional funds through successor funds and single-asset continuation structures.
When we engage
- First-time institutional fund launches
- Successor funds with a materially expanded size target
- Single-asset continuation vehicles and secondaries
- Co-investment sleeves alongside anchor LPs
- Platform-level capital formation for multi-fund managers
What you get
- Senior-partner fund-formation lead on every mandate
- LP coverage across family offices, sovereigns, DFIs, funds-of-funds, and strategic corporates
- A proprietary LP database weighted toward family-office and sovereign-adjacent capital — where growth-stage LP capital is actually sitting today
- Strategic positioning, teaser and PPM review, IC prep support
- Advisory on GP commitment, economics, and governance design
What makes our fund process different
- Family-office weighting — where the real growth LP capital sits today.
- Five-location coverage — Dubai, New York, New Delhi, London, Hong Kong, Zurich, and South Africa — the five hubs where institutional LP capital is actually concentrated.
- Discretion — fund formation is a private process, and treated as such.
