What Does It Take to Raise a First-Time Fund? Expert perspectives.

Launching a first-time private equity fund presents ongoing challenges, yet increasing capital pools focused on emerging managers offer opportunities for those with strong track records. Investors prioritize demonstrable prior deal success and cohesive teams, often favoring managers specializing in the middle and lower-middle markets. 

The lower middle-market is particularly attractive due to abundant deal flow and the potential for significant growth. While the fundraising environment is complex, anticipated increased liquidity and a focus on sectors like technology and healthcare suggest a favorable outlook for well-positioned new funds, especially towards the end of 2025.
