I worked for an informal FO for 5 years. FOs are not a monolith and reaching the right audience depends on the FO's AUM size, investment check size, equity or debt, how many checks you need, if you want advisors/board or just dumb cash etc. If you are doing something larger scale, recommend going through multifamily offices which enable you to achieve some scale - Forbes publishes a decent list. You can also consider advertising through organizations like FOX or CCC. If more bespoke or one-offs then it can be quite challenging. For example, not sure if you're asking about Nexii but one thing that has worked is looking for current and former senior executives from the relevant industry that are likely to have a $100M+ AUM. Maybe VCs from construction tech vertical, ex or current CEOs of building companies, ex or current CEOs of building materials companies etc.
