Join this panel discussion about the pressing need to address cash flow challenges for emerging and underrepresented fund managers:
Launching an investment fund is expensive and time consuming; especially for first-time fund managers who don’t come from communities where wealth has traditionally concentrated.

Despite this difficulty, these fund managers offer unique opportunities for their investors, including greater exposure to historically overlooked markets, and increased odds of outsized returns due to smaller average fund sizes. Investing as a Limited Partner (LP) with these managers is clearly both good business and good for the capital landscape at large, yet many first and second-time fund managers fail to successfully launch their funds due to cash flow constraints during the critical fundraising period.

This panel will feature several practitioners discussing the nature of this problem, describing their own approaches to addressing the issue, and highlighting specific, actionable steps that audience members can take to meaningfully contribute.
