Inside Fundraising: Building Lasting LP Relationships Before and After the Raise
Raising a fund is about more than presenting strong returns. It requires building trust, understanding how LPs and family offices make decisions, and creating an investor experience that strengthens those relationships over time.
Join EchoHer and Linnovate Partners for an intimate conversation with investors, fund managers, family office representatives, and industry leaders on how fund managers can approach fundraising and LP relationships more strategically.
The discussion will explore how investor relationships begin, what LPs look for when evaluating managers, and what happens after capital is committed, from communication and transparency to reporting, portfolio visibility, and the operational infrastructure needed to deliver a strong LP experience as a fund grows.
