fundraising for your fund

c*funds is a rapidly growing, Benelux based, boutique fund placement agency for Alternative Investment Funds. The majority of our clients are VC’s or PE funds. Typical fund size is 50-750 M EUR and we work mainly with serial, seasoned fund managers.  What differentiates us from other placement agents is that we are highly entrepreneurial, fast mover deal-makers, combined with a very diverse global LP base (FoF’s, investment banks, insurance firms, Single/Multiple Family Offices, CVC’s, endowments and pension funds). We have built this in 4,5 years with lots of investment and passion to change the traditional Placement Agency industry. Strong LP base in Benelux, North Europe, UK & DACH.

 

We move fast and have gained a profound understanding of the global LP industry.

  • Compelling fundraising documents assessed against market standards and LP terms
