THAT IS NOT A MARKET.
THAT IS A QUEUE.

HOW WE CLOSE IT

A ROOM.
NOT A CONFERENCE.

Not a database. A room small enough that the people in it can actually say what they think — which allocators are writing, at what size, into what strategy, and why. Oversubscribed puts the best GPs and the best LPs in that room, once a month, under one condition: candor. No pitches from the stage. No decks. No press.
