Nobody Needs Another LP Database
The devil made us do it
We see these Substack and LinkedIn posts with LP lists, VC lists, lists of lists…

What I do know if that all emerging fund managers, whether they’re in private equity, VC, credit, infra, hedge, whatever, want to know the answers to three questions, because, well, we meet with 2% of the fund managers in North America and this is what they tell us.
They have three questions when they are addressing to fix their working capital gap (the #1 cause of death for funds $50M-2B). It’s pretty simple. They want to know 3 things:
Who knows me and my team?
Who funds first, second or third time fund managers that have not done a lot of institutional fundraising?
Who is deploying right now?
