Use Cases

First-Time PE Funds

Turn your fixed costs into variable by outsourcing investment team responsibilities to Launch Growth Partners on an as-needed basis

Raising a first-time fund or operating as a fund-less sponsor often puts PE firms in a bind, where you need to raise capital to fund investments, but in order to raise that capital, you need proof-points of your investment strategy

This catch-22 makes it difficult to budget your management fees between paying placement agents, broken deal fees, search firms, key subscriptions, paying yourself and actually building out your investment & value creation teams

Finding the right new hires requires patience and can be made even more difficult by limited budget constraints

Challenges

Turn your fixed costs into variable by outsourcing your investment team responsibilities to experienced private equity professionals on a deal-by-deal or as-needed basis

Launch Growth Partners offers experienced private equity professionals to act as your fully outsourced investment team, offering flexible pricing to fit your firm's budget

Depending on the firm’s budget, we can work on one-off assignments, drafting the materials required for marketing your investment strategy, or work as an outsourced deal team until you reach the point where you can staff internally

Outsourced Theme Generation

Identify attractive investment themes without compromising your investment team’s capacity by outsourcing your theme generation process to Launch Growth Partners

Private Equity has become a rather saturated industry over the years, yet the core pillars have not changed: beating the market by quick, yet responsible deployment and identifying stable, undervalued assets with high cash flows and / or growth potential

But with more capital in the market and more investment banks representing sellers, it has become increasingly difficult to find quality targets without having to compete in bank-led processes, reducing the likelihood of close and forcing PE firms to pay above market multiples.

Challenges

Many firms are converting to a thematic, industry-first investment model, in which they identify tailwinds within specific industries and business models, then pursue a proprietary sourcing strategy to find platforms and add-ons that best fit their investment strategy, rather than just pursuing businesses that happen to be for sale.

Outsource your theme generation process to the experienced thematic investment professionals at Launch Growth Partners who can conduct mile-deep industry research and draft IC materials that help you determine whether that industry or business model is a fit for you
