Co-investment opportunities flow through three primary channels.
Direct sponsor relationships
The deepest channel. Sponsors invite repeat investors first. Building a relationship with three to five sponsors whose strategy you understand usually generates two to five quality opportunities per year per sponsor.
Family-office networks
Tiger 21, R360, and smaller regional family-office groups regularly circulate vetted opportunities among members.
Peer organizations
EO, YPO, and alumni networks of operators surface deals where one member is the sponsor or seller. Conflict of interest deserves attention but the deal flow is real.
Reciprocity
Sponsors who see you bring value beyond capital, such as customer introductions, sector expertise, or operating insight, will favor you when allocation is tight.
