Event description
Building a Fund Without Losing Your Edge.

📅 Friday, 30 October 2026

📍 Online (Zoom)
Many emerging managers start a fund because they have something worth building around: a sector they understand deeply, relationships built over years, an ability to see in founders what others overlook. Protecting the time to deepen that edge matters.
Running a fund brings a second set of demands that can quietly consume a manager’s attention: investor onboarding, compliance, accounting, capital calls and reporting. At the same time, managers ask what their set-up signals to LPs. Does the administrator they choose matter? What does “sophisticated enough” mean? Where should they invest in infrastructure, and what are they overthinking?
Benedikt Langer sits down with Michael Ströck to take these questions from both sides of the table: Michael’s experience building and operating Allocator One as an LP backing emerging managers, and what he is building at Infra One to give managers their time back.
