About This Workshop
Over two hours, you’ll get an inside look at how large LPs allocate to real estate today — how they evaluate managers, what check sizes they write, which strategies are in favor, and where capital is flowing (and not flowing).
The workshop is split into two parts:
Part I: The Large LP Landscape
Understand how institutional and scaled private wealth capital allocates today, how mandates are structured, and which sponsors are “institutional ready.”
Part II: Playbooks for Raising Capital
Learn how to position your platform, stand out in a crowded GP field, and run a capital raising campaign that resonates with sophisticated LPs—featuring real case studies from funds Jonathan has helped raise over the past 12 months.
You’ll Learn How To:
Map the large LP universe
Understand institutions vs. OCIOs vs. scaled private wealth channels — and how each allocates.

Track record thresholds, AUM expectations, team build, and operational infrastructure required to raise large LP capital.
