Research and analysis on LP discovery, GP fundraising compliance, and the structural shifts reshaping European private markets.
Most fund managers are still finding allocators through warm intros and conference handshakes. In a market with $13 trillion in AUM and thousands of active strategies, this is a structural failure. The institutional LP discovery platform category exists precisely because the alternative — fragmented outreach with no systematic discovery — is destroying capital efficiency on both sides of the table.
MiFID II, AIFMD, and the cross-border marketing rules under CBDF have fundamentally changed how GPs can engage institutional LPs in Europe. Non-compliance isn't a technical risk — it's a deal-killer.
MarketsFrom the rise of evergreen structures to the consolidation of mid-market PE, European private markets are undergoing the most significant structural shift in a decade. Here's what it means for fundraising.
DistributionRelying on placement agents, conference circuits, and personal networks for fund distribution isn't just slow — it's expensive, unscalable, and structurally biased toward incumbents. The numbers tell the real story.
DataFor decades, the LP-GP relationship was built on PDFs, quarterly reports, and informal trust. Structured discovery platforms are changing what both sides can know about each other before the first conversation.
