| GP Bootcamp: The New Pitch – What LPs Look for TodayFor GPs, getting the attention of LPs and consultants is more challenging than ever. The mix of technology, videos, marketing materials, messaging, and delivery all play a vital role in getting noticed – and funded. Meanwhile, LPs and consultants continue to look for more efficient ways to cut through the noise and identify the best new and diverse managers.
In this session, qualifying GPs will submit a video of their pitch and marketing materials for review by a panel of top institutional investors, consultants and the GCM Grosvenor investment teams. These panels will select a handful of GPs among the submissions and provide live feedback, intended to help shape the GP’s materials and hone their presentation skills.
