The LP Allocator fundraising platform is led by David M. Toll, a journalist who has covered alternative investments for more than 25 years. It is produced by Private Equity Career LLC.

The platform lets PE firms, independent sponsors, hedge fund managers and other fund managers identify prospective LPs. Via the companion weekly newsletter LP Allocator News, members also learn news about LP allocations, fund commitments, RFPs, direct deals, secondary deals, people moves, and speaking engagements.

David served as executive editor of Buyouts Magazine, PE Hub and Venture Capital Journal from 2014 to April 2019. Earlier in his career he served as editor of The Private Equity Analyst newsletter. In May 2019 David launched recruiting platform Private Equity Career to help students and PE professionals find jobs, learn new skills, and stay abreast of trends in hiring and compensation. Talent professionals use it to find diverse hires.

An uncelebrated cartoonist in his spare time, David wrote the book, A Cartoon Lover’s Guide to Private Equity, which you can purchase here. All after-tax profits of his book go to Toigo Foundation, which encourages women and minorities to pursue careers in finance.
