🎉 Welcome to LP Blueprint! Your Fundraising Playbook Starts Now 🚀

You’re in. Here’s what this is, and what to do first.

A newsletter about one thing: what LPs actually do, not what they say at panels.

It’s backed by data we run ourselves. 51,348 verified LP contacts, 19,661 institutional, 13,635 commitments tracked in the last 30 days.

What you won’t get: recycled LinkedIn takes, “10 tips for your deck,” or anyone telling you “the market is hard.”

1. Run the audit here. Five fields. Sixty seconds. No card, no login, no call. It scores your firm the way an LP’s analyst scores you before they ever reply. We audited 20 emerging managers from the 2026 LP Conference. Zero of 20 passed. Average score: 41 out of 100. If yours comes back ugly, you’re the median, not the outlier.

2. Hit reply. One line. Tell us where you are in the raise. First close, Fund II, stuck at 40 percent and nobody will say why.

3. What’s in your inbox Research, weekly, whole payload in the email. Right now we’re running the Metz 50, 50 family offices that back Fund I, II, and III managers, published one at a time, real names, real check sizes, sourced from filings, not scraped off a list. [See the Family Office intelligence]

4. The back catalog worth your Saturday

• Is Your Fundraise Healthy, or Already Dead

• Q4 2025 VC Fundraising Benchmarks

• The Chainsmokers’ Alex Pall on raising as an outsider

• Killer Mike on ownership

• Crack the Code: a 46-page guide to winning family offices

5. If you want the data, not just the writing Everything above is free and stays free. This part isn’t. Founding 100, $18 a month, billed annually. No contract, cancel anytime.

What it unlocks: every post including the paid research, Vault access to browse and reveal verified LP contacts with live email verification, unlimited site audits.

Office Hours, Mondays at noon PT. Paid subscribers only, and straight talk on who it’s for: fund managers. If you’re not raising, it’s not worth your hour, I’d rather say that now.

The Discord is separate, GPs and LPs only. Paying doesn’t get you through that door by itself. If you allocate or raise, say so when you reply and I’ll sort it. [Join Founding 100]

And the honest version: if you’re not raising in the next 18-36 months, don’t buy this. The free posts are most of the value.
