List of 20 major family offices worldwide, what they invest in, and how to pitch. Includes a direct path to family office introductions.
Family offices have become a serious source of private capital across venture, private equity, credit, real assets, and direct operating investments. The catch is simple: they are selective, relationship-driven, and most prefer to stay quiet. If your outreach is generic, you will get ignored.
This overview lists twenty widely referenced family investment offices across regions. It is not a promise of capital and it is not a directory of contacts. Use it to understand who these investors are, how they tend to deploy capital, and how to approach them without wasting cycles.
Need help getting in front of the right family offices for your capital raise, acquisition, or structured finance mandate? Our introductions are built around fit, readiness, and a clean investor-facing package.

Family offices do not want hype. They want clarity. Your job is to make the decision easy to evaluate, not emotionally exhausting. Most screening follows the same pattern: quality of sponsor, downside protection, realism of the model, and quality of information.
Introductions work when the raise is prepared and the target list matches your deal type. If you are raising debt, equity, or structured capital and want a screened approach, start here.
Request IntroductionsIf you want a fast, serious response, prepare a lender-grade or investor-grade package. The basics are consistent across most mandates.
Many do, but preferences vary by family, risk appetite, and mandate. Geography, sector, and currency can be hard filters.
It depends on the office. Some prefer smaller direct checks, others co-invest alongside funds, and some write very large tickets. Fit matters more than guessing size.
Yes. Many allocate across private credit, structured credit, real assets, and equity. Your structure and downside protection usually drive interest.
Weak documentation, unclear use of proceeds, unrealistic projections, missing execution milestones, and a pitch that hides the real risks.
It is not always required, but it often improves response rates and saves time. Most family offices protect attention and prefer filtered deal flow.
