## From a universe to a working list

1. **Define the raise** — Define the asset, the use of proceeds, the hold period and the return profile. An equity investor needs a clear path to exit or cash yield.
2. **Match the mandate** — Family offices for flexible capital, sovereign funds for large real assets, pensions for infrastructure and endowments for long-duration private equity.
3. **Check recent activity** — Check the investor's recent direct deals and fund commitments. A mandate that has not been used in three years is a weak signal.
4. **Prepare the data room** — Cover ownership, permits, offtake, construction and downside cases.
5. **Approach the investment team** — Go through the firm's investment team or a trusted intermediary. Direct deals are relationship-led.
6. **Track the process** — Work to the investor's calendar. Family offices move faster; sovereign funds and pensions take longer.

*Common mistakes*

## What makes an investor list go wrong

- A family office is not a bank. It will not underwrite a construction loan or a bridge facility.
- A fund commitment is not a direct investment. A pension that backs infrastructure funds may not invest in a single project.
- Sovereign funds are slow and political. A first meeting can take a year, and a mandate may never become public.
- Match the stage. These investors back growth, buyout and real-asset raises.
