4. GPs
Must
Work
Twice
As
Hard
to
Raise
Half
as
Much
fundraise.”
“If
you’re
going
to
raise
about
$3.5
billion,
there
are
basically
20
investors
globally
that
will
constitute
the
main
portion
of
that.
If
those
20
don’t
common-‐rate
your
number-‐one
core
holding,
you
have
gaps.
And
the
only
way
to
Bill
them—because
there
is
a
lack
of
other
mega-‐investors
is
by
going
to
a
broader
list.
And
that
completely
changes
the
topography
and
the
dynamic
of
the
fundraise.”

5. GPs
Must
Demonstrate
Deep
Insight
“From
a
due-‐diligence
point
of
view,
it
is
the
challenge
of
the
limited
partners
to
verify
that,”
he
said,
“to
understand
what
those
operating
skills
are,
and
how
and
if
they
add
value.
Because,
like
proprietary
deal
Blow,
operating
skills
can
be
elusive.”

6. Your
Next
Fund
Will
Be
Different
From
Your
Last
Fund
“We’re
seeing
investors
showing
up
with
lists
and
saying,
‘You’re
not
going
to
get
to
the
Birst
close
without
us.
This
is
our
list
of
conditions
of
what
your
business
will
look
like.
We
don’t
want
you
in
the
fundraise
more
than
12
months
or
even
nine
months.
If
you
don’t
make
your
marker
in
terms
of
what
you’re
trying
to
raise,
we’re
Bine
with
that,
but
we
also
want
a
minimum
amount,
and
we
want
to
understand
what
your
business
looks
like
at
that
point,
in
terms
of
how
you’ll
run
it
if
you
don’t
hit
your
target.”

7. Cash-‐on-‐Cash
Has
Maximum
Cachet
“The
beautiful
thing
about
cash-‐on-‐cash
is
we
can
all
understand
it.
It’s
a
full-‐cycle
measure
of
how
an
investment
has
performed.
It
takes
away
the
complexity
of
trying
to
wrestle
with
valuation
issues,
the
impacts
that
time
can
have
on
IRRs
with
relatively
short
hold
periods.
Being
able
to
demonstrate
that
you’ve
bought
a
company
as
planned,
developed
the
company
as
you
planned,
and
were
able
to
successfully
exit
that
for
cash
is
really
the
full
cycle
that
we’re
all
looking
to
understand.”

8. LP
“InBluencers”
Are
More
InBluential
Than
Ever
“The
GP
model
has
had
to
evolve
to
meet
the
intricacies
of
the
world,
“and
where
you’re
seeing
it
the
most
is
on
transparency
and
communication
and
in
dealing
with
a
limited-‐partner
base.
In
the
old
days
it
was,
‘Give
me
the
money
and
go
away
for
10
years.
I’ll
just
send
it
all
back
to
you.’
Those
days
are
long,
long
gone,
because
you
have
to
stay
right
on
top
with
this
constituency
group
so
that
you
can
maintain
that
re-‐up
rate.”
