I am ~6 months away from graduation and have started initiating conversations with investors/ LPs. My intent with starting early is to make sure the investors get to learn about my background/aspirations and I get exposure to their investment strategies through 2-3 rounds of 30 min discussions. This time-frame, I feel, will give me sufficient flexibility to do my own research on each investor before finalizing. From there I hope to find###-###-#### investors where our visions/expectations align.
I know some searchers who started almost 1 year in advance and others who succeeded in finding LP's within 2 months or so. I've also heard of searchers getting an investment commitment within 10 minutes of the first phone call. I suppose there is a wide range out there!
Cheers,
Sid
