Coolwater Capital's Winter Mead dives into the missing ecosystem for emerging fund managers. While private equity, hedge funds, and VCs have had sporadic support, there was no dedicated platform to systematically empower emerging fund managers. Most were left relying on high-net-worth individuals for one-off advice and occasional checks. Coolwater Capital changed the game by building an accelerator for emerging fund managers —offering structure, guidance, and consistent support when it matters most. 🚀 #VentureCapital #StartupEcosystem #VC
