I’ve collected numerous lists of allocators focused on emerging VC fund managers. Of course, I emphasize you’re not going to be very effective if you just bulk-email these allocators. Please do your background research and pitch each LP based on how you uniquely fit their criteria. I’ve met few emerging managers who had success with a spam approach.
