I have a managed account contract on my desk. Help me review the commercials before I sign.
Vibe Office Hours
An hour with a cap intro specialist on whatever's stuck.
You're nine months in. Thirty first meetings, three second meetings. Your deck is on version eleven. A seeder term sheet has been on your desk for two weeks because the ratchet doesn't make sense.
The question nobody around you will answer honestly is: what's actually wrong with the way you're running this raise?
One hour. One specific problem.
The managers I sit across from are usually fine on returns. They lose deals on everything else allocators are evaluating, and no-one in their orbit will tell them.
That's what Office Hours is for. One hour, one specific problem.
Bring the question you've been afraid to say out loud.
What people usually want an hour for
The stuck point is rarely performance. It is usually structure, targeting, terms, or trust.
I have a pod contract in front of me. I want someone else's eyes on it.
AMC or AIFM accelerator. Which wrapper makes sense at my AUM and the investor base I'm actually targeting?
Founder share class: what's defensible? 15bps for how much capital, for how long?
The seeder term sheet has a ratchet and a revenue share I don't fully understand. Walk me through what I'm agreeing to.
I keep getting meetings with the wrong avatar. How do I cut my target list to the 20 allocators worth my time?
Review my prospect list. Flag the names that have already passed without telling me, and the ones I shouldn't be chasing at all.
My capacity is $250M but my pitch says $1bn. What does honest capacity sound like to an allocator?
I've had three DDQs come back with the same operational red flag. What are they actually telling me?
Sanity check my deck before I walk into a $20bn institutional allocator next week.
An allocator passed and said the strategy is “too crowded.” Are they right, or is that the polite version of “I don't trust you”?
Who this is for
Early-stage hedge fund managers who need someone honest in front of them for an hour.
Good fit
Early-stage hedge fund managers, typically $5M to $200M AUM, who need someone honest in front of them for an hour. Pre-launch or in the long slog before your first institutional ticket. Strategy is mostly irrelevant for the hour. The judgement transfers.
Not for
The hour does not work for managers who want me to make introductions or validate a strategy I won't endorse. This is not a placement agent pitch and it is not a coaching session. If you want diplomatic, this is the wrong door.
