Emerging Managers

The BVCA is the voice of private capital in the UK. We act on behalf of our members to engage and educate key audiences about the vital role played by private capital in business growth, transformation and innovation and the benefits this brings to life across the UK.

We are committed to championing the next generation of private equity and venture capital firms. Our Emerging Managers Membership is designed specifically for fund managers launching their first institutional fund and those in the early stages of their firm’s journey.

Emerging managers bring fresh perspectives, innovative strategies and often focus on underserved sectors, regions or founder groups. Whether you are a newly-formed team, a spinout from an established firm or building your track record under a new brand, we are here to support your development and growth within the UK ecosystem.

First-Time Fund Managers

A special membership fee is available to new members, who are:

Currently raising their first institutional fund or have successfully closed their first fund, which has less than £100m European funds under management; and who are an Appointed Representative or are regulated by the FCA or an equivalent regulatory body.
