Hello and welcome. I'm Patrick Curtis, your host and Chief Monkey, and this is the Wall Street Oasis podcast. Join me as I talk to some of the community's most successful and inspirational members to gain valuable insight into different career paths and life in general. Let's get to it.

Member Earth Walker 7 joins us again to give the listeners a deep dive into fundraising

best practices for private equity funds, LP psychology, as well as the various roles in

career paths available to investor relations professionals. Enjoy.

Thank you,

Earth Walker 7. Thank you so much for joining the Wall Street Races podcast again.

My pleasure.

Great. And it'd be great if you could just give the

listeners some context again about your background. Sure. So I've spent more than 10 years in

private equity. And in addition to doing deals, I was asked to help with fundraising. And so now

I've done fundraising across four different funds. Also, I've spent time doing fundraising for one of the hedge fund products,

and then also spent about a year and a half doing Cap Intro at one of the Bulge Bracket

banks, so a little bit of experience across more or less all food types.

So I can speak to in-house IRR, cap-intrail, placement, and hedge fund capital raising.

Great.

And I guess, you know, this is a little bit of a different career path than what the traditional member on Wall Street,

is interested in.

But I think it is an interesting topic we could kind of dive into.

I'd love just to hear a little bit more about specifically the CAP intro role at the

Bulge Bracket Bank, but also I think you had some top suggestions in terms of how to go about

capital raising for private equity funds successfully and how to manage different LPs.

So I'd love to hear
