Here are three key things to keep in mind when you raise capital for your fund:
1. Do your research:
Start identifying prospective LPs well before you launch your raise. Use platforms like Preqin or PitchBook to map out institutional investors, family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and other allocators that fit your strategy.
2. Don’t overlook boutique LPs:
Smaller allocators, family offices, high‑net‑worth individuals, and niche endowments can move faster and champion your fund more passionately. Reach out directly to those whose mandates align with your sector and size.
3. Get organized
Have a clear fundraising plan detailing your fund thesis, GP commitment, target close timeline, PPM, term sheet drafts, and due diligence materials. Knowing exactly what you need and when keeps the process efficient and builds LP confidence.
We provide specialized legal, funding, and IP services for fund managers, large‑scale projects, and M&A transactions. Our team structures funds, secures project financing, negotiates mergers & acquisitions, and handles full regulatory and compliance support so you can scale with confidence.

Funding For Funds
The Funding for Funds service is a process that helps fund managers secure the capital they need to launch and grow their fund. It involves providing legal setup, fund structuring, compliance checks, and direct connections to institutional and private investors.
The Funding for Funds service is a way for fund managers to tap into a global network of LPs and obtain both capital commitments and expert legal guidance as early as possible. They can also use the service as a springboard into their first close and beyond from initial capital raise to fully operational fund.
There are different types of fundraising programs available depending on your fund’s size and strategy. Some offerings include full legal setup, structuring, compliance, and LP matchmaking. Others focus solely on investor introductions but still provide access to legal templates, due diligence tools, and compliance support.

To co‑invest in these select funds, we apply stringent criteria to our partnerships and fund structures.
1. Fundraising services
If you’re launching a fund, it can be difficult to secure commitments. This is because LPs are usually interested in funds with clear legal structures and proven strategies, not informal setups lacking compliance.
This is where Funding for Funds services come in. These services help fund managers raise capital by connecting them with qualified LPs, setting milestones, planning funding rounds, and ensuring legal and compliance readiness.
Our fundraising consultants will help you secure capital commitments for your fund. We will guide you through the entire process from beginning to end, from identifying LPs to setting up your fund’s legal structure. We will provide all the resources and advice you need to make your fund successful, and we will work with you every step of the way.
We help fund managers raise capital from diverse LP sources, institutional investors, family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and pension funds. We also offer a range of services to support your fundraising, such as preparing and reviewing your private placement memorandum, crafting your fund pitch deck, and developing a comprehensive fundraising plan. We provide full legal support to help you negotiate your limited partnership agreement with investors and close commitments successfully.
1.1 Raising Capital from Limited Partners
Limited partners (LPs) are institutional allocators or high‑net‑worth individuals who commit capital to funds in exchange for a share of returns. LPs provide not only commitments but often strategic guidance and industry connections.
Regionalized LP sourcing is when a fund distributes its fundraising efforts across multiple regions to tap into localized investor mandates and diversify its capital base.
There are various ways to secure LP commitments. One way is to engage potential allocators at industry conferences and roadshows. Another is to distribute your pitch deck and private placement memorandum online, though this often yields lower response rates.
We help fund managers raise capital from LPs through our extensive global network. We facilitate introductions, provide fundraising strategy, and support you with legal and compliance resources to close your first deal successfully.
Our team has a deep understanding of the fund ecosystem and we are passionate about helping fund managers succeed. We value innovation and we believe that each fund should have access to the resources it needs to grow. We provide access to LPs through our global network of institutional allocators, family offices, and sovereign wealth funds. This allows fund managers to secure capital they may not have otherwise had.
1.2 Raising Capital from Institutional Investors
Institutional investors provide capital to funds to expand their portfolios. They also help the fund grow and secure subsequent closes. There are many different types of institutional allocators, but common ones include pension funds, family offices, endowments, and sovereign wealth funds.
It’s important for fund managers to seek sufficient commitments from institutions so they can support their portfolio companies effectively. In order to secure the most capital from institutions, a fund must demonstrate a clear track record and robust strategy, criteria that many first‑time funds find challenging. That’s where we connect fund managers with institutional investors. We build a network of fund managers in need of capital and help link them with institutions that can provide the resources they need to launch and scale their fund.
Our team helps fund managers secure capital from institutional investors by connecting them with the right allocators and providing them with legal support. We work with a variety of institutions from different regions and support funds across various strategies and stages. We have partnerships with pension funds, family offices, and sovereign wealth funds globally. Our goal is to help fund managers achieve their targets and grow their funds through securing commitments from institutions.
One way to manage your fund’s committed capital effectively is by reserving a portion as dry powder for follow‑on investments, helping protect against early depletion. You should also monitor market conditions and adjust your deployment pace to ensure optimal risk exposure. Additionally, scheduling regular capital deployment reviews will keep you informed about performance and funding runway.
1.3 Preparing and Reviewing Fundraising Documents
Preparing fundraising documents for funds can be tricky. Fundraising materials are a crucial part of securing your fund’s first close. They need to be high‑quality, comprehensive, and easy to understand.
We help fund managers prepare their fundraising documents. Our team can work with you to make sure your package is perfect from start to finish. Our services include preparing and reviewing private placement memoranda, pitch decks, limited partnership agreements, and financial operating models. We can help you get everything done from formatting your documents to refining your content and design.
Here are some tips on how to create fundraising documents that will help your fund stand out from the competition:
1. Start by crafting a compelling fund thesis statement. It should be short and punchy, clear and concise, without relying on jargon or flowery language.
2. Get specific about your fund’s strategy, target sectors, and key terms so LPs immediately understand your value proposition before diving into details. Make sure this is well‑defined, unambiguous, and relatable to institutional investors.
3. Organize each section with clear headings and subheadings to guide LPs through your narrative. Keep it focused—just enough information to build confidence without overwhelming readers with too much data at once.
1.4 Making a Funding Plan
Planning for raising capital is a critical step in any fund. Without proper planning, you may not be able to secure the commitments needed to launch your fund and attract top‑tier LPs. There are a variety of ways to plan your fundraising round. You can also review different LP profiles and determine which investor mix aligns best with your strategy.
We assist fund managers in planning their fundraising rounds by creating a detailed funding plan that outlines their targets and sets clear milestones. We help you identify the right amount to raise, structure your GP commitment, and determine the optimal LP mix.
1.5 Legal Support for Negotiating with LPs
When raising funds, it’s important to have expert legal counsel to help you negotiate with limited partners. They’ll guide you through complex LPAs, protect your GP terms, and handle all formalities from side letters to regulatory approvals.
We help fund managers negotiate with LPs. Our experience and negotiation skills provide fund managers the best possible chance of success in LP negotiations. We work with a variety of allocators, including pension funds, family offices, and sovereign wealth funds. We have a deep understanding of how to position funds for success in negotiations and are dedicated to helping our clients achieve their goals. We help finalize limited partnership agreements and close commitments successfully.
2. Fund Validation
There are a few methods used to validate new funds, but the most common is the fund validation service (FVS). FVS helps fund managers validate their strategy by examining it closely and determining if it can be executed successfully.
Our fund validation service is all about helping emerging funds validate their thesis. We do this by providing a validation service that can help you research and analyze your fund to make sure it is feasible and can attract the right LPs. With our help, you'll be able to get your fund off the ground and into the market faster than ever before. We help fund managers validate their investment strategies by providing them with a comprehensive set of tools, resources, and support. Our team is an expert in fund validation, positioning, and branding, and we work closely with our clients to create strategies that work for them.
3. Investment
Finding a committed anchor investor and strategic partner for your fund can be the key to success. A successful fund needs credibility and direction, and a dedicated investor or partner can provide that. With an investment or partner in hand, your fund will have someone who believes in your vision, knows the market deeply, and has experience backing winning strategies.
We provide investments for a limited number of emerging funds with compelling theses and scalable models. We only invest in fund managers who demonstrate strong conviction and the ability to generate long-term value for LPs. We know what it takes to succeed in fund management, and we’re committed to backing innovation and supporting ambitious investors. We understand how critical early capital is for fund managers, so we offer both investment and hands-on strategic support. We become a committed partner and investor in the fund.
