GormanThayer was founded on the premise that we seek to offer our clients a different approach and philosophy from what is currently available in the marketplace.
The Principals of GormanThayer have witnessed a number of private equity fundraising endeavors over the years and realize that a majority of these efforts fail to address the needs and questions of limited partners as they relate to the specific fundraise at hand. Typically, general partner groups either hire outside vendors who apply a cookie cutter approach to raise capital, or they attempt to fundraise on their own, oftentimes with only partial knowledge of limited partners’ due diligence processes and their investment focus. In either case, the limited partner is left to discern how the opportunity fits into their portfolio’s framework and to discover the true strengths of the offering by reviewing generic and stiff presentation materials that are not focused on their requirements.
Our unique buy-side experience applied to the fund raising process allows us to add significant value by boiling down and presenting the most compelling aspects of a general partner’s particular opportunity. It is this better translation that maximizes our clients’ ability to raise awareness and capital.

We Understand the Investment Strategy and the Marketplace
- Our team members have been involved in the alternative investment market throughout a large portion of their careers as both consultants and principal investors. We pride ourselves on being more than just a sales force.
- With over 20 years of private equity investing experience, the Principals of GormanThayer have invested billions of dollars on a global basis and have met with, conducted due diligence on and invested alongside over 1,500 private equity, venture capital and hedge funds employing a variety of strategies.
We Understand the Limited Partner’s Mentality and Mindset
- As a result of our experiences, we know how to prepare presentation materials that highlight merits while providing a realistic and accurate review of potential risks as viewed by the limited partner community.
- As former limited partners, we have gained the respect of our peers as investors rather than of sales people, providing us with an additional level of credibility.

We offer comprehensive capital raising and advisory services. From pre-fundraise through negotiation of terms and post-fundraising assistance, we work with our clients to define and articulate each unique story for better and continued acceptance in the marketplace.
