Key Points

  • Sean Marani, the solo GP at Parade Ventures, exemplifies an ideal GP with whom LPs maintain close communication, discussing portfolio performance, potential co-investments, and sharing opinions on new funds.
  • Churchill Asset Management, a subsidiary of TIAA, focuses on private capital management, including private debt and equity for middle-market companies, as well as venture capital and growth equity, with a mission-driven background that resonates with top funds.
  • Raja, the guest, values long-term, multi-vintage relationships with GPs, looks for managers with high integrity and good judgment, and emphasizes the importance of collaboration with both GPs and other LPs in the venture capital ecosystem.
