Summary

On this week’s episode of Unlimited Capital, Richard McGirr interviews Brittany Barchalk. They present the findings from a joint research project exploring how lead sponsors can turn their existing LPs into fund-of-funds managers to scale capital raises more effectively. Brittany, Head of Marketing and a founding team member at Tribevest, explains how the company’s platform simplifies fund formation, entity setup, and back-office operations—making it easier for aspiring managers to launch and manage SPVs. Together, they discuss what separates successful fund-of-funds managers from those who struggle, the red flags to watch for, and how sponsors can identify and empower top-performing capital partners to build repeatable, scalable systems.
