Build the relationships that make your first deals close.
The capital provider relationships, sourcing infrastructure, and credibility signals that define whether you close deal one, or stall on it. Built specifically for IS in their first two transactions.
Meet capital providers and co-sponsors who back Emerging Independent Sponsors
Family offices, SBICs, and non-control equity providers who have backed first-deal IS before, in one room, taking meetings across two days.
Peer learning from IS who recently closed their first deal
The most useful advice for a first-deal IS comes from someone who did it 18 months ago, not someone who did it 15 years ago.
Understand first-deal economics before you negotiate them
Management fees, carry, promote, what is market for deal one, and what experienced IS wish they had pushed harder on. Numbers on the table.
Build the credibility signals that get capital providers to take the call
Before you have exits to show, you need to show something else. The roundtable on presenting to capital without a track record answers this directly.
