The Capital Stack

How Institutional Investors Actually Make Decisions


Listen Later

If you're raising capital from pensions, endowments, or foundations, you need to understand their internal machinery — because it's nothing like family offices or high-net-worth individuals.

Institutional investors operate by committee with long approval cycles, often 6+ months. Your materials need to work without you in the room, and you need to understand where you fit in their allocation framework before you pitch.

Key topics: institutional investors, pension fund investing, endowment capital, foundation allocations, capital allocation, raising capital, private equity, venture capital, fund managers, GP-LP relationships, investment committee process, asset allocation, portfolio management, alternative investments, LP investing, direct investments, UHNW investors, wealth building, wealth preservation.

The Capital Stack — a daily briefing for anyone raising or allocating private capital: family offices, institutional investors, fund managers, and trusted advisors navigating the full investor landscape.
