The LP dating game

What makes a Limited Partner (LP) go from “this is interesting” to “we want to invest”? Learn more by attending this event in Barcelona.

Fundraising is often described as a process of building relationships. From the first introduction to the investment decision, creating a strong relationship with a Limited Partner (LP) requires more than a compelling pitch. It requires trust, credibility, alignment and consistent engagement.

So, what makes an LP move from “this is interesting” to “we want to invest”? That is the question we will explore during The LP dating game, an interactive conversation bringing together LPs, fund managers and professionals from across the fundraising ecosystem in Barcelona on 6 October 2026.

An open and interactive conversation

Rather than a traditional presentation, the session will create space for questions, perspectives and real-life experiences from both LPs and fund managers.

The aim is to foster an honest and practical discussion about the realities of fundraising, sharing lessons learned and perspectives from across the ecosystem.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore the questions that often sit behind the formal fundraising process: What creates conviction? What builds trust? What keeps a relationship moving forward? And what ultimately makes an LP comfortable taking the next step?

Who should join?

The event is designed for:

• Emerging and early-stage fund managers currently fundraising
• Fund managers preparing for their next raise
• LPs actively involved in fund investment

Whether you are currently raising a fund, preparing for your next fundraising cycle, or investing as an LP, this conversation offers an opportunity to exchange perspectives and build meaningful connections.

Join the conversation

Come with your questions, experiences and lessons learned. The value of the discussion will come from bringing together different perspectives and creating an open environment for meaningful exchange.

Together, we will explore what really moves the needle when building LP relationships and turning initial interest into investment conviction.
