PE Firm Differentiation - how LPs think about firms, funds & investors I saw a great insight on Twitter from Ho Nam which relates broadly to any investment firm including PE, hedge funds, etc.: Ho Nam posted: "Everyone sounds the same... the [Investors / GP] don’t see it themselves. But if you ask any LP which meets hundreds of managers a year, they will confirm. It’s hard to stand out from the crowd. [Investors / GPs] must think deeply about how to be different. It’s not just a pitch - to truly *be* different, you have to commit to a continual process that takes you down a different path." P.S. There are 8,000+ active global PE firms and only a couple of effective strategies to differentiate - some of them seem simple but are not easy. Example - GTM Edge, deep hands-on expertise in scaling sales & revenue growth. Seemingly simple for any PE fund, but not easy and far more nuanced than what meets the eye. --------- #pe #privateequity #lp #differentiation #business

2,725 venture firms disappeared over the last two years. To be better than average, you need to be different than average. To make money, you need be right when others are wrong. The same applies to choosing fund managers, and understanding the fund models you’re investing in. Inception funds and pre-seed institutions are a different product for allocators than early stage VC funds. Different underlying math.
