By combining decades of experience across private markets, capital formation, and manager development, we seek to offer operational capital, cornerstone fund commitments, strategic guidance, and global fundraising services to help tomorrow’s leading private equity firms take root—delivering a collaborative, founder-focused partnership from inception through long-term growth.
Through its fundraising affiliate, Taproot Global Placement, we also provide capital raising, investor relations and advisory services for more mature, high performing managers.
Solutions
Taproot specializes in GP seeding, private fund placement, and investor relations. We partner with emerging and growing private equity firms to help them launch, institutionalize and scale their platforms. Our team provides strategic capital solutions, comprehensive fundraising support, and outsourced IR capabilities designed to strengthen operations, accelerate asset growth, and deepen investor engagement.
We offer a fully integrated approach—helping GPs build durable franchises and deliver meaningful engagement to the global LP community.
Our Team
Taproot Capital's founding partners have over fifty years of combined private equity experience and nearly two decades of close professional association with each other. Members previously founded and/or held senior leadership roles at Harris Williams Private Capital Advisory and Sixpoint Partners, the New York-based investment bank offering primary fund placement and secondaries advisory services to middle-market private equity firms. Sixpoint was acquired by PNC Bank in 2019 and later merged with Harris Williams.
Our team has developed a global LP network and track record of raising private equity funds, as well as a defined model for bringing new firms (and extension strategies) to market.
