Where are LPs looking to allocate PE capital w/ first-time managers?

I know there's a slush of PE money looking to be deployed, but I'm curious to know how one can find out where LPs (esp FoFs, family offices, HNWs) are looking to allocate PE capital and would therefore be looking for emerging/first-time managers focused on those areas?
