For LPs, Family Offices, & UHNWs

Directly sourced private-market opportunities, matched to your mandate.

Thunder originates opportunities through relationships with venture GPs, boards, and exited founders.

Some transactions are sourced through this network. Others are architected from the ground up, with the structure, incentives, capital, and execution plan designed before they are introduced to investors.

How Thunder matches origination to capital Several origination channels converge on Thunder, which then selectively matches a subset of capital providers to each opportunity based on their mandate. ORIGINATION YOUR MANDATE

Origination

Deal flow built through relationships

Both channels run through the same process before anything reaches a capital provider.

Transaction architecture

We do not simply pass along a company and ask investors to figure it out.

Thunder is often engaged before the terms or even the final transaction path have been determined.

Realistic market terms

Structure and valuation must be supportable in the market, not inherited from an outdated expectation.

Aligned incentives

Founders, existing investors, management, and new capital need a workable reason to support the outcome.

Execution beyond capital

Where required, Thunder can help bring in operators, leadership, or strategic resources alongside the transaction.

How it works

Building a Relationship to Get Access

1 Share your criteria Tell us who you are, how you invest, and what matters to you so we can start the relationship.
2 We assess the fit Thunder maintains a criteria-based network rather than sending every opportunity to every investor.
3 Receive selected opportunities When an opportunity reasonably fits your mandate, we may contact you privately with the relevant information and next steps.
Confidential. We never publish or resell investor information.

The dinner network

We put GPs and LPs in the same room.

Thunder hosts private dinners for venture investors and the family offices and LPs who back them. Small rooms, no panel, no pitch. It's where most of our best work starts.
