Fairview Capital's $10B Emerging Manager Ecosystem | Alan Mattamana

Alan Mattamana is the Managing Partner at Fairview Capital Partners, a $10B fund-of-funds founded in 1994 as one of the largest minority-owned investment firms in the US. After Princeton engineering, McKinsey, and Polaris Venture Partners, he joined Fairview in 2009 and ascended to Managing Partner in 2024, leading the firm's co-investment program. Fairview commits to 15-25 managers per vehicle using equal-weighted portfolios (~60% venture, ~40% growth/buyout), staged across 3-5 year tranches for vintage diversification. The firm's proprietary database tracks 600+ diverse and emerging managers, combining quantitative benchmarking with exhaustive reference checks. Mattamana allocates 10-20% to late-stage co-investments (Series B+) through GP advisory board relationships, concentrating capital in de-risked winners at reduced fee drag. As anchor LP for first- and second-time funds, Fairview backs 300+ funds representing 10,000+ companies. Strategic partnerships include New York Life's 2024 minority stake, Steve Ballmer's $400M commitment for Black fund managers, and the Ford/Visa Foundations Emerging Managers Fund. Connecticut's Constitution Fund series delivered 30% IRR in top vintages, with fees compressed from 0.8% to 0.65% as the program scaled.
