It is lots of hard work. As you say raising capital isn't linear but once you keep knocking on doors eventually things lead to other things. Sometimes life surprises you in good ways. Good luck!
Thanks very much! Totally agree - the capital raising process sometimes feels quite random. Basically impossible to predict how that AUM ramp unfolds over time!
Great read thanks. Did you consider just running your own capital to build a track record - letting the 'product' speak for itself and thus worrying less about marketing and capital raising?
Do you have a target you’re trying to raise? I was thinking of starting a fund last year and had close to $2M of commits and realized, I’m so far away from being able to launch so I changed course.

Thank you! Even if you build a track record with your own capital, you will still need to market yourself.
As someone who tried (and failed) to build a small investment holding, I read carefully each word which resonated with my experience.
Great article. Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks Arny - glad you enjoyed it.
