Frequently Asked Questions

GP-LP Match connects real estate sponsors (GPs) with accredited investors (LPs). Sponsors share their deals and firm profile. Investors set a mandate, receive the opportunities that fit it privately, and choose which sponsors to meet.

1. Investors sign up and tell Sloan, our matchmaking agent, their mandate: markets, property types, strategy, and check size
2. Sponsors send Sloan a deck or submit a deal
3. The platform matches deals and sponsor profiles against each investor's criteria
4. Matched investors receive the opportunity privately, by email and on their dashboard
5. An interested investor sends the sponsor an introduction. Once the sponsor accepts, both are put on one email thread

No fee on capital raised or deployed, and investors stay anonymous until they send an introduction.

GP-LP Match is free to use, and some features are only available to premium members. There are no fees on capital raised or deployed.

GP-LP Match was founded by Aleksey Chernobelskiy, who helps LPs with their existing and future alternative investments. You can get LP investment tips and GP-LP Match product updates by following him on LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and LP Lessons - a weekly newsletter for LP investors.

There is no simple way to be notified when specific investment criteria are met on a raise. If you want to invest $500k into industrial deals in a specific city with a sponsor who has a certain track record and minimum LP split, you should be able to get notified when a sponsor who fits that mandate is raising capital. It should not be this inefficient to match capital when one side is looking for capital and the other is seeking to place it.

On average, a few deals are shared per day. Currently only real estate deals are shared, with plans to expand to other investment types. How often you hear from GP-LP Match depends on your mandate - you only hear from us when a deal fits it.

You can register for free at gplpmatch.com. The information you share is kept confidential and individual preferences are not disclosed to sponsors or anyone else. Preferences are collected solely to ensure you only receive emails about investments that match your criteria.

No due diligence is performed on deals prior to distribution - the platform simply ensures that the submission form was filled out accurately.

Deals received through GP-LP Match are not evaluated or endorsed by the platform. You must do full due diligence prior to committing capital.

Two things shape what reaches your inbox:
• Supply: sponsors are asked to fill out a fairly detailed form to submit a deal; many drop off due to the level of detail required
• Demand: your mandate ensures you only receive deals that fit your criteria

If you are not receiving emails, it is either because your account is not yet verified (please email support@gplpmatch.com) or because recent deals have not fit your mandate (meaning the system is working as intended).

GP-LP Match only sends what fits. You hear about a deal when it matches your mandate, so a tighter mandate means fewer, more relevant emails. Seeing what sponsors in your markets are offering also gives you a baseline for terms, fees, and splits.

Update it on your Investment Focuses page after signing in. You can change it as often as you like, and changes take effect instantly.

In addition to basics such as co-invest, fees, split, and preferred return, your mandate can:

• Target any given market (e.g., only receive NY deals)
• Exclude any type of real estate (e.g., exclude all multifamily deals)
• Exclude any instrument type (e.g., only receive preferred equity deals)

Each match shows the deal's parameters next to your mandate, so you can see why you received it.

Once you register, you can send Sloan your deck or submit deals at any point. Currently only real estate 506(c) offerings are accepted.

It is not just about today's raise - it is about reducing concentration risk in the long run.

• Existing capital sources can change unexpectedly
• Some deals may require more capital than your current investor base can provide
• Consider filling 75% of the equity stack with current investors and finding new sources for the rest

GP-LP Match takes no cut of what those investors commit.

Submitted deals must be 506(c) because sponsors have no pre-existing relationship with the investors receiving the deal. For attorney referrals, please email support@gplpmatch.com.

If you have a live 506(c) deal and your questions are not answered here, please send your questions to support@gplpmatch.com.

Family offices, RIAs, institutional allocators, and UHNW investors.

1. The submission is reviewed to ensure it is accurate and consistent with the deal deck
2. The deal is matched against investor mandates
3. Matched investors receive the deal privately, by email and on their dashboard
4. Interested investors send you an introduction. Once you accept, you're both on one email thread

It is important to submit accurately the first time.

Sponsors do not receive a list of which specific investors receive their deal - this is why 506(c) is required.

However:
• Every investor must confirm accredited investor status during registration
• Deals are only sent to accredited investors
• Every investor has signed a No Alternative Use clause, meaning they cannot use deal information for anything other than evaluating the investment
