Overview
Multi-family offices manage capital for many wealthy families under one roof, combining family-office flexibility with institutional process. For a GP, one MFO relationship can unlock commitments from dozens of underlying families — but you're now pitching a professional investment team, not a principal, so expect real diligence on track record, operations and terms. MFOs often aggregate client commitments into a single feeder vehicle, which keeps your cap table clean. Firms like Bessemer Trust and Rockefeller Capital Management anchor the category.
