About Us

    Our Vision

    Navigating the Emerging Manager Challenge

    Emerging private equity and venture capital managers face significant hurdles, especially in the demanding landscape of Emerging Markets. Continuous fundraising, limited resources, and high expectations from limited partners create a challenging environment

    In Emerging Markets, emerging fund managers are expected to navigate the following obstacles:

    Challenging capital raising

    Operational infrastructure

    Regulatory compliance

    Stepped-up LP due diligence

    Cost management

    Access to talent

    The demand for fresh perspectives from LPs often collides with the expectation of launching a fund with the expertise of a seasoned manager
