The Professional Association for Private Capital Raising
Education, Insights, Job Market Intelligence and other resources for the Private Capital Raising Professional.
Building the profession the industry deserves.
The Capital Raising Professionals Association exists to elevate the practice of raising private capital — through education, future certification programs, newsletters, and community.
Our Mission
The professional home for anyone who raises private capital.
Raising capital is one of the most consequential jobs in finance, and one of the least organized. Portfolio managers have a professional body. So do analysts and financial planners. The people who fund them have never had one.
CRPA is that body. We are starting with a weekly newsletter for founders and their capital raising teams, capital formation professionals in funds, real estate entrepreneurs, placement agents, and anyone else involved or wanting to get involved in capital raising. From there we will build courses and webinars, certifications, a job board and an annual conference.
