Based on years of helping managers raise capital throughout the region, this program is for those who need help in one specific region. Once you sign up, we begin strategizing with you and your team about how to run a successful begin (or build upon) fundraising efforts in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar or the UAE. We build and share with you a list of screened targets and make introductions.

Led by Chad Gracia and based upon years of formal PE and VC trade missions, we introduce managers virtually to the same screened LPs we have met at the homes of US ambassadors and ballrooms throughout the region since 2013. Photos, testimonials and more are at our website.

The program is open to all managers globally.

• You will have access to an updated database of all the active allocators we have introduced you to, including updated emails and phone numbers. (There has been at least a 25% staff turnover since the last mission in 2019.)

• A GCC LP Backgrounder with information on each LP (with their permission), sharing investing goals, ticket sizes, and more.

• A 1-hour online seminar with our legal team King & Spalding about navigating the cultural and other nuances of capital raising in the GCC.

• A pre and post strategy call with Chad Gracia about which LPs to approach, how to conduct follow up and information about arranging both virtual and in person meetings.

Most important, by joining the mission you will have one year of updates and email support where we will answer any questions and provide important information about the region and particular allocators that will help you in your marketing efforts.

If you’d like to be introduced to active LP allocators throughout the Middle East to build your regional investor base, this program may be for you. Despite global uncertainties and the pandemic, many of our LPs — from whom we’ve raised more than $1Bn for our clients — are still allocating. We’d love to have you as part of the delegation.
