🧠 Four Weeks, Four Cheat Sheets, One Wake-Up Call for Fund Managers
Precision Tools for GPs Navigating a Tough Fundraising Market
Over the past month, LP Blueprint's office hours weren’t just Q&A.
They were field tests. Four live sessions. Four tactical playbooks. Each one aimed at solving one specific choke point in the modern GP’s raise.
We didn’t theorize. We showed GPs how to fix what’s broken, fast.
👇 Here’s what dropped:
1. 🔑 The Anchor Investor Cheat Sheet
The problem: Too many GPs are courting the wrong LPs.
The fix: A battle-tested framework to identify and qualify the 2-3 anchors who will actually lead your fund. Funnel math, research tactics, Sandler-style objection handling.
Why it matters: Anchor LPs don’t just validate your fund—they drag others in behind them.
2. 🌟 From Frustration to Focus: Finding LPs with Public Data
The problem: You’re guessing who to pitch.
The fix: Scraping Form D filings, pension reports, and press trails to build an LP list that makes sense.
Why it matters: Warm intros are nice. But signals from real allocations beat vibes every time.
3. 🧠 How GPs Can Use AI to Supercharge LP Targeting and Deal Flow
The problem: Your LP research is manual and slow.
The fix: A complete walkthrough of using Perplexity, GPT, and custom AI agents to discover, research, and write to LPs at scale.
Why it matters: The best GPs are building proprietary LP databases—and they’re using AI to do it. This one contains great stuff from Jason Feinsmith of DataOpsConsulting, a firm that specializes in AI build-outs for law firms and other professional services firms.
4. 🧭 Your Fundraising Stack: Tools, Tactics, and Tactical Chaos
The problem: You’re not using your own tech stack.
The fix: Specific tools—from Vidyard and Augie to Form 990 scrapers and CRMs—already working for other GPs.
Why it matters: If you’re not treating fundraising like a revenue operation, you’re leaking time and money.

🧩 What This Means for Fund Managers
This isn’t “content.” It’s a system preview.
Each sheet solves a precise operational gap: misaligned targeting, cold pipeline, wasted meetings, or tech-stack paralysis.

Aimed at raises of $30-60M
If you’re trying to raise $30M–$60M and don’t have a functioning LP pipeline by July, you’re not just behind schedule—you’re at risk of losing the raise. We do have an offering for raises larger than $60M, and it’s called Capital OS Enterprise, intended for raises of $60M-4B. Budget begins at $20k/mo for 1 year.
