Mesa Lane Targets $300M for Emerging Managers Fund

Rye Brook, NY-based VC Mesa Lane Capital Partners is aiming to raise $300M for a new emerging managers fund. 

In a recent filing with the SEC, the firm reported that it has not yet taken its first sale on the fund, Mesa Lane Emerging Manager Fund I, and expects to be in the market for more than a year.

Mesa Lane Capital was founded in January 2024 by Blackstone and Tiger Management alumnus Scott Sherman. He serves as managing principal along with Marc Friedman, who according to his LinkedIn profile joined in June and has an extensive background as a founder. Alongside his role at Mesa Lane, Friedman is founder and CEO of consulting and capital-raising firm Jumbo Capital Advisors, where he has reportedly raised more than $500M.
