I met Winter Mead earlier this year and was fascinated by his approach to supporting emerging fund managers. As the founder of Coolwater Capital, he is building a unique platform that combines training, operational infrastructure and investment to help the next generation of GPs succeed.
In this conversation, we unpack:
- Why institutional LPs often overlook small funds despite their alpha potential.
- What really defines an “emerging manager” and why it depends on the perspective.
- The hidden operational challenges of launching and scaling a fund.
- How Coolwater helps GPs move from Fund I to a sustainable, long-term platform.
- The evolving dynamics between LPs, spinouts, and non-traditional “diamonds in the rough.”
A must-listen for fund managers, LPs, and anyone curious about the future of venture capital.
