Hi - Does anyone know where I can find a list of PE firms that are currently raising funds?
Any help would be appreciated.

That doesn't exist. PE firms don't even announce they are fundraising, typically. They'll maybe announce a first close, but that's it.
Your best bet is to reach out to placement agents of PE firms/alternative investment funds (i.e., Atlantic Pacific Capital) or investment consultants (i.e., Cambridge Associates) to find out who's fundraising.
Aside from Van Buren's point, the only way you can know is if you are talking with them frequently. When we show groups deals, we usually give each other an update.
Consider taking a look at Buyouts magazine if you can get your hands on it. They have a section that includes a chart on where funds are in the fundraising process.
check out preqin. As mentioned many you don't know about until a first close, but preqin, pei, pitchbook, termsheet, etc all have articles about funds currently fundraising. Also, are you looking for a specific type of fund? there are hundreds on the market...
Thanks - I'm interested in any firms that are fundraising process, doesn't matter what type. Preqin is exactly what I was thinking but they guard their info pretty closely I think and if you do get a trial to look at their stuff you'll then get a salesperson calling you every second day trying to get you to buy their info.
So, does anyone have any ideas where there's FREE info or info easily available? I'll try buyout magazine but there must be hundreds of funds going through the process at the moment. I guess articles would be good as well.......
ill post a list, if u have a min size, region/country, type of fund. im not posting every single fund n market though, there are hundreds, so if u can narrow it down, i can post a list

i have a question for anyone in the PE business; how do small or start up PE firms go about raising a fund? for a manager that wants to raise a relatively small amount, say $100m if they don't have a track record or existing investors? it also seems that there's no resource to promote funds raising capital, so what avenues do they have? i know with hedge funds they can market their strategy and a small track record (they'll usually start managing money for family and friends and then market their track record).
Surely there must be a way of finding new firms looking to raise small funds? I'd be interested in finding PE firms looking to raise $150m or less.
To reply your first question, many small PE firms raised their money via friends' money or via connection in the first place, "seed money" or we call them angel investors. Then the fund would start investing in 1-2 small deals. This will become a track record or case studies for them to further promote the fund and then would have official first close. It would be more like rolling closings for small funds.
