Fundraising is an immersive experience

You need to take deep breaths, be fit and resilient, find your stamina and learn the necessary techniques that will enable you to race and win the race.

At c*funds, we have been committed from the start to backing the very best emerging managers—venture capitalists and asset managers shaping the VC landscape. As an independent market advisory and placement agent, we specialize in supporting emerging GPs (1st–5th vintage) on their fundraising journey.

Welcome to Our World of Fundraising

We love fundraising because, when done right, it demands laser-sharp focus—like the silence beneath the water’s surface. It cuts through the noise, delivering real, tangible results: capital secured, relationships forged, and opportunities unlocked.

Many of us, whether by chance or by choice, have been professional endurance swimmers. We’ve translated that same resilience and discipline into preparing emerging managers for the real race ahead.

  • We ensure fundraising documents meet and exceed market standards, with a well-defined USP and realistic return projections.
  • We cultivate the right mindset—excellence over entitlement.
  • We provide access to the fastest-deploying league of global investors.

 

Fundraising is a race, and we train to win.

"Ultimately, successful fundraising depends on a firm’s timing, strategic approach, and team dynamics. “It’s like a chess game,” says Gallyas. Many limited partners (LPs) prioritize teams that demonstrate diligence, risk-taking, and the ability to deliver results. “Private equity remains a people business and a game of trust,” she concludes."
