RAISE Global Summit: Where 100 Fund Managers Meet Their Future LPs

Scott Dubin helps run RAISE, the event where 100 emerging fund managers get in front of 330 LPs in one day in San Francisco. 

What we get into:

• Why "I make intros and serve on boards" scores a 5 out of 10
• The application section where most GPs lose  
• How to use your existing LPs as a weapon onsite
• The follow up email everyone sends that gets ignored
• Why the GP who printed their logo on the sidewalk had the right idea

My honest take: most GPs treat RAISE like a conference. It's not. It's a long form sales pitch that starts the second you submit your application and doesn't end for a year. Scott walks through how the LP selection committee actually scores you, what gets you a 5 vs a 10, and the follow up game that turned one Fund 1 GP's week in SF into $16M. 

If you're raising a fund, or thinking about it, apply before June 1.
