Find the Right Funds Before Your Competitors Do

The Shortcut to Your $300K+ Buy-Side Seat

You waste months chasing the wrong funds, emailing dead inboxes, and pitching PMs who were never going to say “yes.”

The buy-side doesn't post jobs. They hire quietly — through networks you’re not in yet. And every PM has an invisible filter for who they’ll even talk to.

By the time you figure it out, the role is gone… and so is your shot.

That’s why I built the U.S. Fund Primers — intelligence on 900+ hedge funds and long-onlys, mapped by region, strategy, sector, and founder background — so you know exactly who to approach, how they hire, and where you actually have a shot, without wasting months on dead ends.

For less than 0.1% of your first-year pay, you can skip months of trial and error—and get to a $300K+ buy-side seat faster.
