Making Billions: The Private Equity Podcast for Fund Managers, Alternative Asset Managers, and Venture Capital Investors · 3 Principles Used to Raise $500M in 2 Years · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

borrow from them a substantial amount of process and risk framework and underwriting criteria and things that you, you know, as a small business, as a, as a small manager, you're doing these things, but you haven't necessarily written them all down into SOPs and that sort of thing.

So it created a discipline for us to have to take everything that we'd done,

Sort of put it up against, you know, a trillion dollar asset managers process and integrate some of the best thinking.

And, you know, to some degree, it changes a little bit of the entrepreneurial mindset to the institutional mindset.

But we were incredibly mindful of maintaining our entrepreneurial approach.

I think the most important thing.

that we continue to do as our framework around communication.

Clarity is incredibly important in being able to scale.

And when you go from doing deal by deal, raising capital to having programmatic joint ventures, discretionary capital, maintaining clarity throughout the organization, throughout your investment process, throughout your investment committee about what you're trying to accomplish is key.

We use...

uh, Patrick Lencioni, who wrote, um, five dysfunctions of a team, I think is maybe his most famous book, but he wrote a book called the advantage, which brings together a lot of thinking from some of those other books.

But, but the key point that he makes throughout it, uh, is communication and clarity and how critical they are to a successful organization.

And so there's a whole framework in his, uh, book around meetings and around communication cadence and the purpose of meetings and the type of meeting.

And we, we really took that to heart and adopted all our, you know,

All of our team utilizes that as a way to keep ourselves focused on what needs to get done and our main priorities.

It's really what allows you to scale and perform in a repeatable way.

And then I think the last thing that's critical for folks in scaling a business and managing institutional capital is having very clear core values around the company.

So you can have an investment thesis, which is sort of the core IP, if you will.

But as you build that team out, having core values that not only are understood and articulated, but practiced is super important.

I would say that the most important core value, I guess I'm not supposed to force rank our core values, but I think one of the most important core values at Ancora is creativity and curiosity.
