Pitchbooks

Learn how to build private equity fundraising pitchbooks from scratch, or just generate a few new ideas for your next annual meeting presentation or PPM.

The series walks through a fundraising deck that I created for a hypothetical growth equity fund. The design illustrates key elements of a GP’s investment and value creation strategy using the value creation models on this site.

All the presentation data, analyses, and charts are provided in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint downloads that are available to ValueBridge.net subscribers.

Feel free to get in touch with me through the support page or my consulting website if you need additional help or bandwidth updating your private equity pitchbooks, PPMs, or DDQs, as well as track record and value creation models.
