New Fund Networking

Monkeys,

There's been a flurry of fundraising in my sector and many funds have been raised in the past 6 months from notable names. I'm interested in hearing if any monkeys have side-stepped the headhunter process and reached out to new funds directly to get there. If so, could you elaborate on your experience and how you ultimately secured your spot?

Cheers, -AZMonkey
