You've built the business.
We'll build the infrastructure that scales it.
Building the platforms, processes, and capital infrastructure that institutional investors require business like yours to have before they commit.
The Problem
You’ve built a track record. You understand your market. You have deal flow.
But institutional capital expects infrastructure you don’t have yet.
Family offices building investment capabilities need professional frameworks. Operating businesses transitioning to institutional ownership need governance that satisfies Private Equity requirements. Niche specialists need reporting systems that pass strict due diligence. Portfolio companies in post-acquisition phase need infrastructure that scales.
Global firms launching new ventures need a partner who has built platforms before.
Most advisors give you only strategy decks. We build the actual platform—and run it until you're ready to take over.

Why This Matters Now
Institutional allocators (Private Equity Firms, Sovereign Funds, Venture Capital Funds, Global Asset Managers, Insurance Corporations, Tech Giants) are expanding into alternatives. Regulators just increased allocation limits. Private Equity Firms are under pressure to professionalize their portfolio companies faster. Family offices are competing with Blackstone, Blackrock, and other giants for deals.
The window opens only for platforms that are institutional from day one. If your governance, reporting, and infrastructure aren't ready when opportunities appear or when capital wants to commit, you've lost 12-18 months rebuilding trust.
We compress that timeline. You get institutional credibility immediately because we've built it before. Only institutional platforms attract capital and deals at scale.

WHAT WE BUILD
Institutional platforms have four capabilities. Most managers have one or two. We build all four—in the right order, with the right documentation, so you pass LP due diligence the first time.
Foundation
Pass LP due diligence the first time
Entity structuring, governance frameworks, partnership agreements, investment policies, regulatory compliance, and the digital infrastructure behind it. Without this, allocators walk. With it, they ask about deployment timelines.
Investment Infrastructure
Be institutional, not opportunistic
Underwriting standards, pipeline management, portfolio monitoring, valuation methodologies, and risk frameworks. LPs don't fund cowboys. They fund repeatable engines. We build the analytical backbone that proves you're the latter.
Capital Formation
Win in diligence, not just pitch meetings
Investment memos, fund presentations, track record summaries, RFP responses, DDQ completion, data room management, and reference packages. Most managers lose deals in diligence, not pitch meetings. We prepare you for the 47-question RFP and the compliance review that kills commitments.
Growth Execution
Deploy capital now, hire full-time later
Deal sourcing, transaction management, portfolio development, stakeholder coordination, IC materials, LP reporting, quarterly valuations, and compliance monitoring. You get institutional operations immediately, not 18 months from now when you've finally recruited a team.

Who We Work With
Operators ready to institutionalize.
Family offices building investment platforms across asset classes and needing institutional infrastructure from day one.
Operating businesses acquired by PE funds, requiring governance frameworks, scalable processes, and reporting systems that meet institutional standards.
Niche specialists in real estate, infrastructure, credit, or alternatives—sectors where institutional capital is flowing but platforms are underdeveloped.
Global firms launching new European businesses (the Lapithus, Hudson, Greystar model) and needing someone who understands both the parent organization and local execution.
If you need institutional infrastructure but lack the team or skills to build it, we fill the gap.
current platforms

How We Work
Simple structures. Clear accountability.
Retainer engagements: €5K–€15K/month for platform development (typically 6–18 months from structuring to first activation).
Success fees: 1–2% of capital raised when we lead fundraising execution, aligning our incentives with yours.
Equity participation: Ownership % for co-founding situations where we are building the business alongside you.
No hourly billing. No scope creep. We agree on outcomes, we deliver them, and we either exit cleanly or become long-term partners. You decide based on results, not promises.
