Episode notes
ADVICE

Start Small To Build Credibility

  • Start by finding deals, raising capital, or doing the grunt work and trade effort for equity or experience.
  • Join transactions as a small participant to build credibility and then leverage that ownership into larger roles.
INSIGHT

Syndication Pays Off Slowly

  • GP economics are long-term and often small per-deal, so syndication builds wealth slowly through many assets.
  • Big AUM numbers can mislead; actual GP equity depends on leverage, splits, and time to scale.
ADVICE

Cap Investor Returns Before GP Upside

  • Structure waterfalls with caps so investors hit a promised return first, then give GPs upside after that cap.
  • Use splits and tiers to align incentives and preserve investor protections while allowing GP upside later.
