They don’t really spend any time teaching you how to raise capital or how HNW investors think.Also, they push the LP structure which doesn’t protect the GP who takes on personal liability (which we’ve heard from sources)Check out Capital School - a complete turnkey solution taught by someone that’s raised $2B with the help of others
