Join us for a roundtable gathering and discussion on “What LPs Actually Underwrite: Lessons for Emerging Fund Managers” of active VC investors, family offices, business angels, and crypto investors. We will discuss the latest trends and co-investment opportunities.
Raising a first or second fund requires more than a compelling vision, it requires understanding what Limited Partners are truly underwriting behind closed doors.
This candid roundtable, hosted by M&T Bank and sponsored by M&T Bank and Trident Trust at the Winthrop Building in Boston’s Financial District, brings together experienced GPs, LPs, and emerging managers to unpack how fundraising expectations evolve from Fund I to Fund II, where narratives often misalign, and how managers can position themselves in an increasingly competitive landscape.
Participants will gain unfiltered insights into how momentum is assessed, what signals credibility, how storytelling must mature alongside a fund, and the practical lessons learned by those who have navigated the journey successfully.
Designed as a highly interactive session, this discussion creates a trusted space for emerging managers to compare notes, ask real questions, and leave with clearer frameworks for their own fundraising strategy.
Tickets are released only upon approval.
