Business Development Advisory
Strategy. Materials. Coaching
Arootah Business Development Advisory delivers fixed-fee support to hedge funds, private equity, and credit managers through our network of senior advisors with decades of institutional experience. We help you build your LP strategy, optimize your materials, and refine your presentation skills.
The Challenge
Raising institutional capital is more complicated than ever.
Most managers struggle with:
Targeting the wrong LPs and wasting time on poor-fit institutions
Pitch decks and DDQs that don’t resonate with allocators
Inconsistent outreach and lack of systematic follow-up
Team members unprepared for LP diligence conversations
The result? Fundraises that drag 18+ months, diluted terms, or failure to close.
The Solution
Arootah delivers senior business development advisory through our network of professionals with decades of experience across hedge funds, private equity, credit, and real assets. They help you build your LP strategy, refine your materials, and strengthen your team’s presentation skills.
No commissions. No success fees. No percentage of your raise.
You pay a fixed fee for professional business development expertise – advisory support for one of the most critical functions in your fund.
Unlike transactional approaches, our advisors integrate with your team and work alongside our Alternative Investment Advisory practice which supports you to meet the operational standards LPs expect.
