A site dedicated to helping emerging manager stockpickers

This website is brought to you by the MIT Investment Management Company. MITIMCo's aim is to be an early partner to the world's best investment firms. The investment returns from these endeavors support MIT's mission of groundbreaking research and world class education.

This website is designed to create and collect useful resources for emerging manager stockpickers starting out. We are particularly interested in helping quirky, unconventional emerging managers who want to compound their own capital, and their partners' capital, at high rates. Those looking for information on a conventional path to becoming a fund manager will find better information elsewhere. We know from experience that it is possible, for the right exceptional person with the hunger, tenacity and investment acumen, to start out as a scrappy upstart and build a great firm. We have seen a meaningful number of people start out as a quirky firm with $5 million of AUM and little in the way of track record, and generate exceptional results at increasing scale for a long period of time. Our goal on this site is to share both inspiration and practical steps for newer firms who are looking to build something special. These start-up investment firms often "bootstrap" themselves because they do not have a track record or "pedigree" to raise much money, or are just unorthodox. So, we have made sure to include information about running your firm on a low budget

This website is a work in progress and we plan to make it a lot better over time. To do that, we want to feature more content from emerging manager stockpickers themselves, who have been in the trenches bootstrapping their firms. 

Of course, MITIMCo works with a variety of different types of firms, not just stockpickers. We work with real estate investors, private capital and growth equity managers, venture capital firms, and hedge funds. This page is really only relevant to stockpicking emerging managers, however, who really can start with just a few million dollars of AUM and a 1 or 2 person shop.
