Family offices
Families that can decide faster than an institution, often investing through funds and directly in companies at the same time.
Learn moreTargeted Introductions
For a raise that is prepared and already running, we introduce one investor, or a small number of them, whose mandate fits. Each introduction is made personally, and only after both sides have confirmed the fit.
Who we know
Every introduction we make comes from a relationship we already hold.
01
Standing relationships
We hold over 200 investor relationships, among pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, family offices and private wealth in the United States, Europe and the Gulf.
02
A relationship for every mandate
For every kind of mandate we take, we hold at least one standing investor relationship. An introduction starts with an investor who already knows us.
03
Gulf capital
Sovereign funds in the Middle East and North Africa deployed $102 billion in the first nine months of 2026, and the United States received 45% of the value invested.

The introduction
We introduce a raise only when each side has a reason to take the meeting, and both have told us so.
Fit confirmed on both sides
We test the raise against the investor's mandate, its current allocation and its timing, then confirm with you and with the investor before either side hears the other's name.
A note written for that investor
Each introduction carries a short note on why this raise suits this investor, with the materials it will want to read first already prepared.
After the first meeting
We stay with the relationship through the first meeting and any diligence that follows. If the raise needs more than an introduction, we say so and set out what a full mandate adds.
When managers come to us
An introduction is asked for when a raise needs one investor it has not yet reached.
01
If you need an anchor investor, come to us.
The first commitment decides how every investor after it reads the raise. We take the raise to the investors most likely to anchor it, in a set order, before the market has formed a view.
02
If you need investors who help you scale, not only invest, come to us.
We introduce investors whose mandate includes operating support, co-investment and follow-on capital, and we confirm that fit before either side hears the other's name.
03
If you need Gulf capital, come to us.
We hold relationships with sovereign funds and family offices in the region and prepare managers for how those investors engage.
Who we introduce
We hold standing relationships with allocators, family offices and private wealth principals in North America, Europe, the Gulf and APAC, and introduce a raise only where the mandate fits.
Private wealth
Private banks, advisers and principals investing for individuals and families. Their questions differ from an institution's, and the note is written for them.
Learn moreSovereign wealth funds
Several of the most active sovereign investors in private markets are in the Gulf, with internal teams organised by asset class.
Learn moreWhen an introduction suits
Your materials are ready, your process is running and you need one investor, or a small number of them, that you have not yet reached.
When a full mandate suits
The raise still needs positioning, a sequence across many investors and our people in the meetings through to close. That is a capital raising mandate.
Capital raising mandatesWhat we need from you
What you are raising, the investors you have already met and the kind of investor you want to meet next. Our view on fit starts from that list.
