The LP Fundraising System That Closes Emerging Funds
Once you have a thesis, the question every emerging GP hits next is the same: how do I actually find LPs, get them to a yes, and keep them close over the time it takes to build this firm. The managers who close the fastest treat fundraising like a system, which is what we will be breaking down in this session.
In 60 minutes, Myrto Lalacos of The Emerging VC shares the frameworks for finding, converting, and keeping LPs engaged, drawing on years of watching what actually works for emerging managers.
What you'll walk away with
A clear map of the LP archetypes you'll actually reach at Fund I, and the ones to skip
A prospecting framework for building an LP target list that converts
A funnel model for moving LPs from cold contact to warm meeting to commitment
The commitment conversion mechanics: what actually turns a warm "yes we're interested" into a hard number on a subscription doc
Frameworks for keeping LPs engaged between commitment and close, and post-close so they refer peers and come back for Fund II
Who should attend
Emerging GPs actively fundraising or preparing to. Aspiring fund managers who haven't started LP conversations yet and want to know what they're walking into. Operators and angels making the move into venture who need to build an LP funnel from scratch.
Format
Live session. Bring notes if you're mid-fundraise so you can apply the frameworks in real time. Q&A at the end.
