How did one fund manager raise $7.5M+ from strangers on LinkedIn—without paid ads or a prior network?
In this episode discover how Nishant Sondhi, founder of Sondi Capital Group, built a thriving Fund of Funds business in just 15 months—by mastering LinkedIn. Nishant shares exactly how he leveraged outbound strategy, consistent content creation, and powerful storytelling to attract high-level W2 investors working at Fortune 500 firms. You’ll hear his step-by-step approach to investor outreach, his Fund of Funds fee structure philosophy, and how he structures deals to deliver better-than-direct returns to LPs. This conversation is a masterclass in capital raising for fund managers ready to grow without gatekeepers.
Top 5 Key Takeaways:
- LinkedIn Mastery: Nishant raised over $7.5M exclusively from LinkedIn using both inbound content and outbound messaging—no ads, no cold calls.

- Outbound Sequences That Convert: Nishant walks through his low-pressure, relationship-first messaging strategy that gets results without automation tools.
