How to get involved in Pre IPO/PIPE deals via banks

I started an emerging PE firm recently, focusing on growth and pre IPO/PIPE deals. Our ticket size ranges from $5mn to $10mn per deal. We have decided to shift our strategy more toward pre IPO/PIPE deals given that the multiple in growth deals are way too high now and pre IPO deals have better risk return and liquidity profile. Recently, we have done a 7 mn PIPE deal led by a MM bank. 

Could anyone share some best practice and advice? We would like to systematically build up our access to some of the BB and MM. Is our ticket size enough for some of the pre IPO deals? Our ticket size might be small, but on the other side, we are easy to work with.
