Family Office Database for Fundraising
How to find family offices that actually invest in funds
Quick Answer
Find family offices that invest in funds. 4,000+ single & multi-family offices with verified emails & phones. No $20K contracts. From $99/month.
Family offices control $6+ trillion globally. They're often more flexible than institutions, move faster, and many actively back emerging managers. But finding them? That's the hard part.
Why family offices are so hard to find
Most family offices don't want to be found—they're private by design
Traditional databases focus on pension funds and endowments, not family offices
No central registry exists. Family offices aren't regulated like institutions.
The good lists are gatekept by $50K+ platforms or private networks
By the time a family office appears in public databases, they're already inundated with pitches
What makes family offices different
Understanding family offices is the first step to reaching them:
Single Family Offices (SFOs)
Manage wealth for one family. Typically $100M-$1B+ AUM. Highly private. Investment decisions made by 1-3 people. Relationship-driven.
Multi-Family Offices (MFOs)
Serve multiple families. More structured, more like institutions. Often have formal investment committees. Larger check sizes.
Why they like emerging managers
Family offices have longer time horizons, less bureaucracy, and often want direct GP relationships. Many explicitly seek first-time managers for higher return potential.
What they care about
Alignment, access, and authenticity. They're investing family wealth—they want to know you, not just your deck. Generic cold emails fail.

How to actually reach family offices
Database access is step one. Here's what actually works:
Personalization is non-negotiable
Family offices receive 100+ cold emails weekly. Generic templates get deleted. Reference their specific investments, geography, or interests.
Warm intros still win
If you can get introduced through a portfolio company founder, lawyer, or accountant they trust, that beats any cold outreach.
Patience matters
Family offices move on their timeline, not yours. A 6-month relationship-building process is normal. Don't pitch on first contact.
Show co-investment opportunities
Many family offices want direct deal access alongside fund investments. If you can offer co-invest, lead with that.

Frequently asked questions
How many family offices exist globally?
Estimates range from 7,000-15,000+ depending on how you define "family office." North America and Europe have the highest concentrations, but Asia-Pacific is growing fastest.
What check size do family offices typically write?
Varies enormously. Single family offices might write $500K-$5M checks. Multi-family offices often $5M-$25M. Some ultra-large family offices can anchor $50M+.
Do family offices invest in first-time managers?
Many actively seek emerging managers. Family offices have longer time horizons and fewer constraints than institutions. They're often the best first LPs for Fund I.
How do I know if a family office is actively investing?
Look for recent fund commitments, conference attendance, or job postings for investment roles. Databases with allocation data can show recent activity.
What's the best way to cold email a family office?
Keep it short (3-4 sentences). Reference something specific about them. Don't attach your deck. Ask for 15 minutes, not a commitment. Follow up twice, then stop.
