Six learnings on fundraising during the #TechReset from The State of European Fundraising Report. 1. It's not a challenge. It's an opportunity. It's time to have proper due diligence and trust-building. It's time to build solid foundations for future partnerships. Improve relationships you have as they might be strategic assets. Build new relationships, even if they may take longer to build. 2. The right time for positioning. Positioning and differentiation have never been more impactful. Take time to define your most important assets: - value proposition - target audience - competitive edge Authentic differentiation attracts LP's interest. One step towards your next investment. 3. Cornerstone LP engagement. Align with market norms. Keep a broad appeal. Stay flexible in negotiation. Stick to industry standards. Have alignment with your LPs. It's long-term over short-term that matters. 4. Transparency & open communication. Have governance structures to reinforce fund autonomy. Ensure operational transparency to solidify investor confidence. 5. Be straightforward in dealing with bad LP behavior. Do your due diligence on LPs. Share experiences with fellow GPs. Be direct & transparent in communication. 6. Performance for emerging managers. Evaluating emerging managers presents its own set of challenges. Especially when there is little to no track record to rely on. Show consistency. Build a strong network. Show strategic focus and execution. Learn how to navigate the effects of the #TechReset.

Great article by Anthony Rifilato of FundFire on the investment Hamilton Lane has made in wealth tech firm Daphne Technologies, joining Apollo Global Management, Inc. and Motive Partners as co-backers.
