Emerging Managers

Start Lean, Plan for scale

For emerging managers, building a large in-house team from day one isn’t feasible or desirable. You’re unlikely to need a dedicated tax or compliance resource. Instead, success hinges on identifying the right mix of people who can get you through the crucial early years and having a clear view on emerging risks and how your team will adapt to handle them.

Key Challenges for Emerging Managers

Limited Experience

Many first-time founders are experts in capital raising and deployment, they don’t have the experience in middle and back office management to assess risk and get the most out of out-souced providers.

Budgets vs Investor Expectations

LPs want reassurance that your back-office operations are mature enough to handle their capital responsibly. These expectations need to be met within a reasonable budget.

Uncertain Workload

Before the first close, daily operations fluctuate, making it hard to justify full-time senior hires.
