List of First / Second Time PE Funds
Where would one go to find a list or compile a book of first or second round PE funds located on the East Coast?
Fine with folks listing new spinout funds / funds just starting out but was curious if anyone also had a resource they could go to and find this information? Thank you.
Based on previous WSO threads, finding a list of first or second-time PE funds can be a bit of a treasure hunt, but here are some strategies that might help you compile your own list:
Networking: Engage with industry professionals through networking events, LinkedIn, or forums like Wall Street Oasis. Often, insiders have knowledge of new funds or spinouts.
Industry Publications: Keep an eye on private equity industry publications and newsletters. They frequently report on fund launches and fundraising activities.
Database Services: Utilize financial databases like PitchBook, Preqin, or CapIQ, which may require a subscription but can provide comprehensive lists of funds, including new and emerging ones.
Headhunters: Reach out to headhunters who specialize in private equity placements. They usually have up-to-date information on the landscape of PE funds.
Online Forums: Continue to monitor and participate in online forums such as Wall Street Oasis, where industry professionals might share lists or discuss new funds.
Direct Research: Conduct your own research by looking at press releases of established PE firms, as they might announce spinouts or new fund formations.
Remember, while some users on forums like WSO might share lists, such as the one mentioned for up-and-coming funds in Boston, these lists are often generated through community contributions and may not be exhaustive.
