Bloomberg Confirms SumZero Cap Intro Drives Institutional Capital

A new Bloomberg article highlights the power of the SumZero Cap Intro platform to drive institutional exposure (and ultimately large investments of capital) toward the funds who utilize the feature:

Joshua Young started his hedge fund less than a year ago. Last month, he caught a break when a university endowment handed him $20 million, quintupling his assets under management.

How did an obscure Houston fund called Bison Interests land such a big fish? Young, all of 32, had set up a profile on SumZero, a website that started out as a repository for buy-side research and has more recently morphed into a mashup of LinkedIn and Match.com where institutional investors can find up-and-coming fund managers and choose them based on the quality of their analysis.

We are pleased to note that we have received dozens of reports of capital raised/transacted as a result of the platform’s usage. These reports of success are made voluntarily and confidentially and are just a partial representation of tangible value catalyzed by the SumZero Cap Intro feature.
