Join LPs

We also work with predominantly European LPs on ESG reporting harmonisation. A first project, jointly run with InvestEurope in continental Europe (2024 onwards), was followed by an engagement with BVCA and BBB in the UK (2025 onwards). Read more here.

 

Join LPs from state funds, endowments, pension funds, fund-of-funds, and corporates to gain access to:

  • Dedicated LP resource page 

  • Invitations to specific LP community calls

  • Participation in LP working groups (Europe, US, and Emerging Markets)

  • Speaking opportunities at conferences, such as at SuperVenture, PEI or FRAME

Our Work with LPs

Community

Many LPs have told us over the last years that they have no problem meeting GPs – but often don’t spend enough time with other institutional LPs.


At Reframe Venture, we provide many virtual and in-person opportunities for LP-only meetings, whether during dedicated community calls, breakfast or our LP-only pre-FRAME workshop.

Capacity Building

While the training we originally developed with KfW Capital and the BMW Foundation was primarily aimed at GPs, we early on in our journey also started training LPs on responsible investing.


Whether you want your own LP team to learn about best practice of RI and ESG or your GPs, let us know. You can learn more about our general approach to training here.

Harmonisation

 Since 2024, we have been working with other industry partners such as InvestEurope and BVCA and the largest institutional LPs on ESG reporting harmonisation.

Reporting Harmonisation

Aligning reporting requirements around key regulations and frameworks saves time and resources to focus on material issues.

Contact us to join our ongoing and extending efforts.

Conferences and Research

Conferences: Whether it is our own FRAME conference in London (and the mini FRAMEs we started doing around the world) or the panels we have been moderating at SuperVenture or PEI, we love partnering with LPs for public engagement. The LP voice has a key role to play in driving systems-wide change!


Research: Since 2022, we've conducted comprehensive quantitative and qualitative research through surveys and in-depth interviews on LP behaviour in VC, supported by Luminate and Project Liberty as part of our objective to make LP expectations more transparent. Our publications include:

Pushing Forward: LP Practices in RI/ESG

Oliver Nixon and Johannes Lenhard

What are institutional Limited Partners (LPs) — the biggest asset owners and asset managers — expecting from venture capital investors in terms of responsible investing (RI) and ESG practice?

Based on insights from convening 50 LPs in New York, London and Paris, and in-depth interviews with twenty-six LPs managing approximately $1.5 trillion and a supporting survey, this paper highlights the continued commitment across the US and Europe — despite a perceived backlash.

The research paper also contains a section specifically on LP’s perspectives and (limited) practices with regards to responsible investing in data and AI.

ESG is driven by many stakeholders – from regulators to investors – but LPs and asset owners have a very important role to play to enforce good ESG integration given their reporting, oversight and fund allocation requirements and function. In this VentureESG white paper, funded by Luminate, we provide a first insight into LP current behaviour and plans when it comes to ESG adoption and enforcement based on 25 qualitative long-form interviews with institutional asset owners between Europe and the US.
