Everyone thinks LinkedIn is just for job hunting and recruiters...

But a small group of savvy fund managers are using it to attract millions in institutional capital…

…WITHOUT spending a fortune on traditional placement agents or middlemen.

Today I interviewed Jester Schilder, who helped a venture capital firm find investors that eventually formed an $8M fund…

He revealed his exact step-by-step approach for turning cold LinkedIn outreach into meaningful investor conversations.

Jester has spent the last five years helping fund managers create consistency in their fundraising efforts.

In today's episode, he breaks down:

• How to use LinkedIn Sales Navigator to find qualified prospects (including hidden search techniques)

• Why sending connection requests with NO message statistically gets higher acceptance rates

• The importance of spending up to 30 minutes researching each prospect before messaging them

• How to build internal consensus when targeting institutions

• The power of creating investor communities to nurture long-term relationships

Plus, he explains why curiosity is the most powerful psychological trigger in fundraising…
