Founding partner responsible for end-to-end institutional fundraising for a $250M first close and beyond: lead LP relationships, seed negotiations, placement agent management, LP-facing infrastructure, and sit on leadership team shaping firm strategy and product roadmap.
SILVER LEDGE CAPITAL
Founding Partner — Capital Formation
This is an opportunity for the right, entrepreneurially minded and experienced individual, to partner with us at the ground level. What we are missing is a partner who has spent a career raising institutional capital and now wants to own a piece of the firm doing it.What This Seat Is — and Is NotThis is a founder seat, not a job. There is no base salary until the fund reaches its first close. Compensation is GP equity in the management company, carried interest participation, and a market salary that activates at first close. You will be taking founder risk alongside the existing partners, who are funding the build.
We are deliberately not hiring a salaried head of IR. We are looking for someone who has considered launching their own firm, understands what that risk profile means, and would rather do it with an institutional-grade origination engine, a differentiated structure, and a live seeder process already underway — instead of from zero.The Mandate

The OpportunitySilver Ledge Capital is a private credit fund manager being formed by the founders of New Silver Lending, a technology-enabled lender in the residential transition loans (RTL) space.

- Own the institutional fundraise end-to-end: strategy, pipeline, materials, and closing responsibility for the $250 M first close and beyond.
- Co-lead the active seed-investor negotiations, including term-sheet strategy and management of parallel seeder conversations.
- Build and own relationships across the institutional LP landscape: seeders and strategic platforms, insurance general accounts, consultants and OCIOs, funds-of-funds, endowments and foundations, and large family offices.
- Select, negotiate with, and manage placement agents where they add value; own consultant coverage and databases.
- Stand up the LP-facing infrastructure of an institutional manager: DDQ, track record package, quarterly reporting cadence, and data-room discipline.
- Sit on the management company's leadership team and shape firm strategy, product roadmap, and the Phase 2 interval-fund conversion.
- 10+ years raising institutional capital for private credit, real estate credit, or specialty finance strategies — at a fund manager, placement agent, or seeding platform.
- A personal, attributable track record of institutional capital raised — you can name the LPs, the checks, and the funds.
- Live, current relationships with allocators relevant to a $250M–$1B evergreen private credit vehicle; seeder and insurance-channel relationships are especially valuable.
- Fluency in fund structures and terms: evergreen and hedge-style vehicles, revenue-share seed economics, gates and lock-ups, REIT sleeves, and eventually registered (interval fund) products.
- Entrepreneurial disposition: comfortable with ambiguity, document-forward, and willing to build materials and process, not just work a rolodex.
- The financial capacity and temperament to work without a base salary for a defined runway period.
- Appropriate securities licensing history (e.g., Series 7/63/82) or a clean path to operating within the issuer exemption; unblemished regulatory record.
- GP equity: own part of the management company, vesting over time or milestones, with founder-level participation in the incentive allocation.
- Pre-close: no base salary; optional: modest expense draw / deferred compensation accrual payable at first close.
- Post-close: market base salary activates at first close, funded from the management fee stream and OpCo economics.
- Title path: Founding Partner at signing; Managing Partner, Capital Formation as AUM milestones are met.
- Alignment: to be discussed
