48. More Equity: Limited Partners — David Gilmore of the Weinberg Foundation

Welcome to More Equity. Today, we’re bringing you a new episode from our Harlem Capital Limited Partner Series — connecting with Harlem Capital LPs to share insights on navigating the VC fundraising journey.

In today’s episode, we speak with David Gilmore, Deputy Chief Investment Officer at the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, one of the largest private charitable foundations in the United States, with $3.2 billion in assets and giving $130 million in grants each year. David shares with listeners how institutions think through asset allocation and manager selection, based on his current role and prior experience at the Ohio State University investment office.

Tune in as Henri and David discuss everything from the risks the foundation saw in Harlem Capital before deciding to invest to how emerging managers can best convey their firm vision to institutional LPs.
