Acorn Capital Management’s Post

#gpstakes transactions in private markets continue with the ongoing record fundraising for the GP stakes strategy. However, I view this particular transaction as remarkable - Bonaccord Capital Partners have defined themselves as a truly disciplined, middle-market GP stakes investor who are part of the P10, Inc. platform which includes #Chicago-based leading middle market private equity fund of funds manager RCP Advisors and leading venture capital #fundoffunds manager TrueBridge Capital Partners. An investment partnership with Lead Edge Capital, a fund manager that I have closely observed grow into a truly unique growth equity platform over the past 10+ years is a GP stakes dream. Lead Edge Capital's Founder Mitchell Green is a force of nature and one of the most impressive fund managers I have ever met in private markets. Lead Edge Capital, are a growth equity firm focused on investing in market-leading #software, #internet, #consumer, and tech-enabled businesses globally. Bonaccord Capital Partners’ investment and strategic development platform will support Lead Edge Capital’s value creation initiatives and further growth. There will be no change to Lead Edge Capital’s investment process, day-to-day management, or firm operations. Congratulations and best wishes Ajay Chitkara and Mitchell Green of Bonaccord Capital Partners and Lead Edge Capital, respectively! #partnerships #alternativeinvestments #growthequity #privatemarkets #fundmanagers #capitalmarkets https://lnkd.in/emuFDxcq

In my recent discussions about the 2023 innovation ecosystem, I've noted that the year has been defined by diverse forms of rescue and extension financing, including bridge rounds, down rounds, and soft landings. Other key takeaways include the critical role of transparent and truthful communication with stakeholders and the necessity of cultivating a comprehensive pro forma model in collaboration with your board and legal team. Understanding the interplay of personalities within your team and among investors, as well as leveraging a nuanced approach to financing structures, is also essential. Meanwhile, remember to keep your legal and fiduciary duties in focus. Check out our latest Front Lines Corner episode for further insights on these topics. #FrontLinesCorner #Finance #Investing
