This list maps 30 LPs with confirmed openness to backing first-time fund managers. We’ve mapped their thesis, verified their activity, and attached a named contact with a direct LinkedIn. Every LP on this list has confirmed openness to first-time fund managers.

Coverage runs across North America (11), Europe (12), and Asia-Pacific (7), with several mandates built for global manager access rather than a home-market focus.

67% are open to co-investments.

The list is verified.

The mix: fund-of-funds (11), family offices (7), government-backed investors (7), corporate venture platforms (2), HNWIs (2), and one pension fund.

Sector focus runs wide. Deep tech, climate and energy transition, life sciences, fintech, blockchain and Web3, maritime and ocean tech, and dual-use or defense-adjacent themes all show up across the list, alongside several sector-agnostic mandates.

Every name comes with a named decision-maker, their role, and a direct LinkedIn, so there’s no guessing who to contact or how to reach them.
