For fund managers

A sharper thesis, mapped to the capital that fits it.

Most first funds don’t fail on deals. They fail on a thesis LPs can’t repeat back, pitched to capital whose mandate never fit. We help you fix both before you go out.

What we do

Three focused pieces of work.

01

Thesis building

Name the market, the gap and why you win, in one sentence an LP can repeat to their investment committee. Then the evidence behind each part.

02

DFI and impact-capital mapping

Which kinds of development finance and impact capital your thesis genuinely fits, what each will ask of you, and where to start.

03

Light thesis critique

An outside, honest read on where the thesis is thin, before LPs find it for you. Clarity over comfort.

Format

Fixed scope. One to two weeks.

A working session, a written read-out and a follow-up call. You leave with a thesis you can defend and a short list of LPs worth your time.

What this isn’t

We sharpen. You raise.

  • We don’t run your fundraise or take placement fees
  • We don’t invest in your fund through this work
  • We don’t sell a methodology to copy as your edge
