WHAT WE DO
ALLOCATOR ONE
ALLOCATOR ONE
Consider Allocator One, which we have co-founded, a testament to our approach. Every year, around 500 promising individuals with experience in building billion-dollar tech companies and/or possessing industry-specific or geographically relevant insights due to years of accumulated expertise emerge as potential GPs. They hold the key to unlocking over $100 billion annually for our economies and communities through their unique insights and connections. However, they are constantly overlooked by LPs who prioritize candidates with prior GP experience.
Allocator One addresses this issue by supporting the diligently selected top 3% of underserved talents with anchor investments and a strong community of peers and mentors. Furthermore, we can assist them in swiftly and affordably establishing their first fund, potentially reducing setup time drastically and cutting costs by up to 90%. In general our streamlined operations and reporting simplify the process for both GPs and investors, facilitating value creation and capital attraction from across the globe.
