Strategies for GP Resilience

Amidst the shifting CRE landscape, one thing’s certain: there will be winners and losers as new opportunities emerge. To survive, forward-looking GPs are rethinking their businesses, redirecting energy to scout out new opportunities, and refocusing their teams on those emerging opportunities. And that means articulating a compelling story for investment partners.

In this webinar, Heather Fernstrom Border and Jennifer Stevens, co-founders & managing partners at Alliance Global Advisors, joined Juniper Square’s Brandon Sedloff to explore the opportunities and challenges facing GPs as the CRE market restructures.

They also discussed how firms can build resiliency by:

• Clearly communicating problems–not just successes–as a way to strengthen LP confidence

• Building a legacy through effective road mapping and succession planning

• Achieving operational excellence through PropTech

2023 was a particularly turbulent year. Nearly all metrics were down from the inflated highs of 2021. Add to this the collapse of SVB and First Republic that tore through the heart of the industry, and many venture capital professionals are breathing a collective sigh of relief as 2023 fades into the rearview mirror.

What does 2024 have in store for the venture space? Might fundraising activity finally recover? What type of communication are LPs looking for now? How can fund managers respond to the evolving regulatory landscape? And what has the industry learned after last year’s banking collapse?

Listen to our panel of VC industry experts as they discuss:

• Their expectations for fundraising this year

• How first-time funds can stand out

• LPs’ ever-increasing expectations

• And how GPs can navigate the changes in the VC industry
