Projects we specialize in
Our four core services.
Primary Fundraising
We forge strategic connections between top-tier general partners and a global network of institutional investors. Our end-to-end services help clients navigate the complexities of the fundraising landscape with ease and success, helping them meet their short- and long-term capital objectives while building brand equity and market leadership.
Secondaries
We work with both private equity sponsors and institutional limited partners seeking to utilize the secondary market to address various objectives from generating early liquidity to raising follow-on capital to support existing assets or raise new private equity funds.
Independent Sponsors
Gabriel Horn Capital advises funded and independent sponsors on capital formation and raises fee-paying capital across a wide range of situations and transaction structures. Leveraging our team's deep buy-side experience, we bring a differentiated perspective to the capital-raising process. This experience enables us to anticipate investor expectations, address potential concerns proactively, and position opportunities effectively with prospective capital partners.
Advisory and Capital Solutions
We craft bespoke solutions and act as a dedicated sounding board throughout each transaction. Our expertise covers a wide array of complex capital requirements, including acquisition and follow-on financing, annex and sidecar funds, co-investments, special purpose vehicles, and structures for direct deals.
How we work
From first conversation to final close.
A disciplined, five-phase process led by a senior Partner from positioning through close, with transparent reporting at every step.
Positioning and strategy
We start by pressure-testing the story: strategy, track record attribution, team narrative, fund size and terms, and market conditions. We tell you candidly how the LP community will read the opportunity before you go to market.
Materials and data room
We build or refine the full institutional package: pitch materials, PPM, track record analytics, DDQ, and a credible data room that stands up to diligence, so the first meeting is not the first draft.
Targeted investor mapping
We map the specific institutions whose mandate, pacing, and appetite fit the strategy, then pre-qualify them. Fewer, better meetings with investors who have real intent.
Process management
We run the campaign: scheduling, senior-led meeting preparation, rapid diligence responses, reference coordination, and disciplined pipeline tracking with transparent reporting to the GP throughout.
Close and ongoing advisory
We work through negotiation, side letters, and closing mechanics, and stay engaged afterward as a sounding board on subsequent closes, co-investments, annex vehicles, and the next fund.
Our operating principles
Selective by design, disciplined in execution.
Focused Partnerships
Our commitment to excellence begins with a selective approach to client engagement. We partner with a limited number of high-quality, non-conflicting entities, allowing us to dedicate significant resources to each mandate. This model ensures every client receives the hands-on attention necessary to deliver tangible results.
Full-Service Advisory
We believe superior value for our clients is achieved through a meticulous and disciplined strategic plan. We leverage deep industry expertise to design a comprehensive strategy, structure, and execution plan, aimed at building our client's brand equity and market leadership, while achieving their capital objectives.
Expert Execution
Every engagement is led by a senior Partner and a highly engaged team, guiding clients through every project phase. From initial advice on approach and strategy, to marketing and branding, to negotiation, diligence, and closing, our team is committed to delivering the end-to-end support necessary to achieve target outcomes.
