We like to get in touch with first-time and second-time GPs as early as possible. We invite you to submit your application as soon as you're ready. We're not expecting you to have everything figured out. Allocator One acts more like a pre-seed investor than most LPs. Let's just get going.

We read applications on a rolling basis. Applications that are submitted early may be selected for an early interview. You can continue to update your application after you've submitted it.

If your application is promising, we will invite you to a series of interviews. This will be followed by due diligence and then an investment decision. We invest under the terms of our Anchor Deal. We give everyone who interviews feedback on our decision.

If we decide not to invite you for an interview, you won't receive personalized feedback. This probably means that your current investment thesis isn't a fit for what we're looking for right now. It's never a judgment on the quality of your work.

We mostly stick to our batch schedule, but we do understand that sometimes a first close just needs to happen. In these urgent cases, we do not wait for the batch to start before we make a commitment.

Allocator One is highly selective, partnering with less than 3% of applicants. Since we started investing in 2024, we have made anchor investments into 15 funds so far, out of more than 700 applications. This level of selectivity serves as a powerful endorsement that can significantly bolster your future fundraising efforts.
About our investment process
Our 12-week, fully individualized investment process is designed to get emerging fund managers to first close. We invest in around ten funds a year, providing a highly personalized and supportive environment.
How it works
The process takes a maximum of 12 weeks from first contact to signed commitment. It is fully remote and one-on-one — there are no classrooms or mandatory group meetings.
Support and resources
Every GP we back receives dedicated guidance from Allocator One's founding partners, internal and confidential discussion groups, and opportunities for collaboration within a cohort of highly driven and knowledgeable peers. We provide introductions to our network of institutional investors and offer operational support for administrative and regulatory tasks.
Anchor commitments
Anchor commitments vary by strategy — from €250K for single-deal SPVs to €15 million for buyout funds. Beyond anchor commitments, we occasionally offer community checks, which are smaller strategic allocations aimed at building early relationships with high-potential emerging managers, often under market-standard terms. You can choose your level of support, from initial setup to ongoing operations. Our streamlined processes reduce setup time from years to weeks.
Long-term commitment
Support continues beyond the initial 12 weeks, with ongoing guidance, resources, and networking opportunities. Join Allocator One to set up your fund for immediate success and long-term growth.
