Matt Curtolo

I’m Matt Curtolo and I’ve spent the last 20+ years as an institutional allocator to private markets, wearing nearly every hat (back office, research, client service, leadership, investment).

Now, I’m offering those decades of learnings to GPs to help build and improve LP and fund management practices and strategic positioning to stand out in a crowded market. I’ve been directly involved with more than 500 GP relationships during my career, reviewed thousands of decks and heard countless pitches from hopeful GPs. Through this experience and with a track record of investing over $5 billion, I have seen the differences between good and great and know what LPs are looking for. 

Whether you’re an established manager with an in-house IR team or an emerging manager trying to raise your first fund, having the perspective of a seasoned LP can fast-track your success. Here are some ways I can help:

  • Strategic Positioning - Ensuring the materials that LPs consume best represent your story. I can help in building out your data room, reviewing fundraising materials, developing and refining your narrative, LP segmentation and general fundraising strategy.

  • LP Relationship Management - ‘Always be fundraising’ - the work never stops. I can work with you to make sure your existing and prospective LPs get best-in-class transparency and ongoing communications. 

  • Content Strategy - LPs are consuming more and more content through a diverse range of channels. I can help you craft the clearest messages to reach maximum exposure. 

  • Market Intelligence - It’s hard to keep the pulse on current LP sentiment. With decades of relationships, I can provide insights on competitive positioning, benchmarking and other top-of-mind subjects that LPs will want to know about.

Most importantly, this isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. I believe in forming a true partnership with each GP, understanding your story and developing a customized strategy that highlights what you do best. 

If you think this is something you’d be interested in, let’s connect. I offer a number of ways to engage and collaborate that are aimed to meet your needs. I look forward to hearing from you!
