Scale and reach
We have raised, as selling member, in excess of $20 billion1 for dozens of funds ranging in size from $100 million to $3+ billion, and for special purpose vehicles (SPVs) managed by independent sponsors.

Our senior team invests selectively, and has deployed more than $12 billion2 on behalf of prestigious institutional investors as limited partners across 200+ deals.

The Gabriel Horn difference
Why sponsors choose us.
Independent and Aligned
We are an independent, partner-owned firm with no balance sheet to place, no conflicting mandates, and no competing house products. We also invest our own capital alongside general partners as a limited partner to ensure our economics are aligned with our clients'.
Senior Attention on Every Mandate
Every engagement is led by a senior Partner from first positioning conversation through final close. Clients work with the people they hired, not a junior coverage team, and our team carries more than 120 combined years in private markets.
Pre-Qualified Investor Coverage
We do not run volume processes. Drawing on 5,000+ institutional relationships across family offices, endowments, foundations, insurance companies, pensions, and fund-of-funds, we map and pre-qualify the investors genuinely suited to a strategy, so meetings carry real intent.
Selective and Non-Conflicting
We take on a limited number of high-quality, non-competing mandates at a time. That discipline is what allows us to commit meaningful resources to each client and to represent every strategy without cannibalizing another.
We draw on a vast network of over 5,000 relationships spanning every major class of institutional capital.
A track record of success
The name
Infinite surface.Finite volume.
Gabriel's Horn, also called Torricelli's Trumpet, is a geometric figure with infinite surface area but finite volume. The name refers to the Christian tradition of the archangel Gabriel sounding the horn to announce Judgment Day: the infinite meeting the finite.
We see a parallel in our own work: announcing the best-in-class funds and deals to the LP community.
