What We DoSutton Hill serves as an extension of staff for private equity firms who prefer to maintain a lean organization. Our mission is to bring large cap LP relations capabilities to the middle market. Sutton Hill brings market intelligence that only comes with high frequency interactions with the LP community.

BackgroundSutton Hill was founded in 2014 as a consulting firm focused solely on outsourced investor relations and fundraising support. The firm is led by two senior professionals with deep experience in direct investing, in-house investor relations, and LP advisory.

ClientsWhile we work with GPs of all sizes, most clients fall within two categories: (1) first-time funds who have yet to hire investor relations in-house, and (2) established managers who prefer not to use a placement agent. We work with clients who embrace a “continuous fundraising” mindset.
