How to Get a Commitment From a LP

Don't be shy about asking about their program. How much do you have in venture? How much in buyout? How much like us do you have other managers that look like us? Some LPs will never tell you what other funds are in. And I don't understand why some will and some will still. Those are the only three way, the only ways you can get a commitment from LP,. win the slot that's open, convince them to add a slot for you specifically or take a slot from somebody else.
