Our Dedicated Team
Our Unique Edge
At c*funds, every member of our close-knit, boutique team brings a unique skill set. We are self-made, hands-on Private Equity professionals with talents ranging from fashion design to magic, and even include a former hockey player and endurance swimmer, and top Nordic skier.
What binds us is a strong commitment to the highest ethical standards, delivering top-tier investor relations, and securing placements for our clients. With deep, practical experience across various asset classes, we excel in advising family offices on portfolio diversification.
Our approach is rooted in building personal, lasting relationships with clients and investors. Fundraising, for us, is about fostering a community, not just closing deals. We focus on personalized introductions and prefer face-to-face meetings, avoiding mass outreach. We operate like a well-steered, high-performance ship—sharp, efficient, and always on course.😉
