For Funds

Who we work with.

We work with funds across the alternatives spectrum — from established platforms opening new vehicles to first-time, emerging, and diverse managers raising institutional capital for the first time.

What we do

The right allocators are already looking.

Many institutions run dedicated programs for new, emerging, and diverse managers. Many more hold active mandates in specific asset classes. STING identifies the ones whose requirements your fund meets and delivers them as a report.

Established platforms and first funds.

Hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, private credit, and real-asset managers share the same problem: the right institutional capital is hard to find, and harder to qualify.

Whether you are a multi-billion-dollar platform opening a new vehicle or a first-time manager raising an inaugural fund, the screen works the same way. It finds the investors and programs whose requirements your fund meets.

Two ways we match

Programs and mandates.

Emerging & diverse programs

Programs built to back new managers

Many institutions run dedicated programs to seed and back new, emerging, or diverse managers. We identify the ones whose criteria your fund meets.

Asset-class mandates

Allocators already in your asset class

We also identify institutional investors with active mandates in your strategy — the allocators already deploying into what you run.

When an engagement makes sense.

  • You are raising institutional capital: pensions, endowments, foundations, funds of funds, and similar allocators.
  • You have a defined strategy and a clear target asset class.
  • You want a targeted, qualified shortlist your team can act on.
  • You are an established platform, or a new, emerging, or diverse manager seeking dedicated programs.
