Celebrating the Best Capital Raisers in the Industry

Deal teams, portfolio managers, and fund performance get celebrated every year. The people who actually raise the capital? Almost never.

Dakota is changing that. Rainmaker of the Year is a new, community-voted awards program honoring the best fundraisers in the business - wherever you raise capital, this recognition is for you.

 

Why Nominate Someone

  • » Built for fundraisers. Deal teams and allocators already have their rankings - this is the first built for the people who raise the money.
  • » Community-voted, not vendor-picked. Winners are chosen by allocators, LPs, and fellow fundraisers who've seen the work firsthand.
  • » Open to the whole industry. Ten categories span every channel and career stage.
  • » Real recognition. Winners are featured across Dakota's network, LinkedIn, podcast, and website.

Nominations are reviewed on a rolling basis. There's no cost to nominate, and you can nominate as many advisors as you believe deserve it.
