Agenda
More than half the world’s private equity and venture capital firms say they
are raising new funds this year. So (to say the least) the competition is stiff,
and the process promises to be protracted and challenging.
Still, there’s a great deal of capital available. Many institutional investors
and funds-of-funds are sitting on cash hoards, some are having their allocations
limited by prominent GPs who plan to take down smaller amounts, and a few are being
excluded altogether by GPs who worry that the confidentiality of their portfolio
data may be compromised.
The purpose of this special Capital Roundtable MasterClass™ is to give you
the opportunity to hear from seasoned experts about tactics and strategies you can
use to maximize your chances for success in closing your next fund, in attracting
the best limited partners, and in getting the best possible terms.
If you have a new or emerging or follow-on venture fund, and you’re worried
about your chances for raising capital, or a smaller middle-market private equity
fund, and you want to nail down commitments while the market is hot, you can’t
afford to miss this information-packed day.
This MasterClass™ is chaired by John Crocker, a managing director at Citigroup's
Private Fund Group. Joining him will be 15 other speakers, including limited partners,
placement agents, fund-of-fund managers, consultants, attorneys, and accountants
who are all well-versed in fund-raising. The final panel consists of GPs who have
been through the experience, and share their hard-won lessons learned.
Plenty of free time is built into this program so you can interact with the 16 faculty
members, and get answers to the particular questions that are pressing for you and
the members of your team.
