Private Markets
Invite only · By application
A community for the people who run private markets

The people who run private markets firms learn the most from each other.

Private markets are at an inflection point and what got you here will not get you to where you want to go. This is a place to build community, exchange best practices and help each other as we navigate a dynamic world where alpha is generated not just through investments but also through operations.

Every application is read personally. We keep it small on purpose.

01

What this is

A place to compare notes and best practices with your peers. This is a place where there are no dumb questions. This is a safe space. Every participant is pre-vetted to ensure the integrity of the group.

We are starting with C-suite operational leaders.

This is about building community. As AI transforms how work gets done, a room of peers to build with will matter more than ever.

The rooms

01

Operators: CFO / COO

The flagship room. Finance and operations leaders trading the practical stuff nobody writes down. Systems, hiring, fund admin, the migration that went sideways.

Open now
02

Technology: CTO

For the people who own the tech stack. Data infrastructure, security, build versus buy, and getting AI to do something actually useful.

Open now
03

Capital Formation & IR

For the people raising and keeping capital. LP relationships, fundraising when the market is hard, the investor update you're not sure how to write.

Open now
04

Compliance

Peers comparing notes on the regulation and the exams, and how to build a program that holds up. Discreet, for obvious reasons.

The Lobby

The catch-all. Introductions, and anything that cuts across the whole of private markets. Everyone starts here.

House rules

This works because it's curated. A few simple norms keep the signal high.

  1. Introduce yourself. Start with two lines in the Lobby: name, role, and one thing you're wrestling with. Don't lurk.
  2. Off the record. Use what you learn, just don't attribute it or screenshot it out.
  3. No soliciting, no pitches. You're here to share and to learn, not to sell. Be thoughtful about how you reach out to people you meet here. No email blasts. That one is grounds for removal.
  4. Be honest and real. Sharing what didn't work is as valuable as sharing what did. Sometimes more.
  5. Stay in your room. Post where it fits. The Lobby is for intros and anything that spans the rooms.
  6. Not advice. Nothing here is investment, legal, tax, or compliance advice. Do your own diligence.
  7. Attack the problem, not the people. Assume positive intent.
  8. Be respectful. Of people, their time, and their privacy.

How joining works

1

Apply

A two-minute form: who you are, where you work, and what you're hoping to give and get.

2

It's reviewed

Every application is personally reviewed. If it's a fit, you'll get a private invite link to the community on WhatsApp within a few days.

3

You're in

Introduce yourself in the Lobby, join the rooms that fit, and start comparing notes.

Off the record

What's said here stays here. We run on the Chatham House Rule so people can speak plainly. That candor is the whole point.

Come in

If you are an operational leader at a private markets firm and you'd value a room of peers who get it, you belong in the first group.

Which room(s) do you want to join?

Looking forward to having you. Brandon Sedloff
