Elizabeth Weymouth, founder and managing partner of Grafine Partners, which seeds and supports new private equity firms, spoke with Buyouts chief Chris Witkowsky at PEI Group’s NEXUS 2024 event about the environment for launching a new firm.
While fundraising is tough, and even tougher for new shops, LPs continue to have appetite for forming relationships and finding great new talent. Certain characteristics help a new firm stand out in the crowded yet sluggish fundraising market, and Weymouth’s firm is in a position as a seeder to sort out those firms building for the future.
Her perspective is especially interesting as Grafine has been raising its debut fund, allowing her to understand what LPs are looking for today out of a new shop.
