    First Close is the emerging manager podcast, hosted by Tom Pinnell.

    Each episode, Tom will sit down with emerging managers and the people who back, advise, and work alongside them — talking honestly about what it really takes to build a private equity firm from scratch. The fundraises, the failures, and the moments that define whether a first-time fund becomes a lasting franchise.

    Episode 1 is coming soon. Hit follow to be the first to know when it drops.
