Great group of people truly committed to building a better VC ecosystem.

I have been a part of the Sutton Capital VC program for six months now and I have learned more about VC and what I can accomplish than I thought possible. Joel's passion comes across with every lecture and project. You can tell he really wants you to succeed as part of the program and even after you have completed the program.

Joel and Sutton Capital are phenomenal. The live and incisive feedback from LPs and the 2 min pitch structure, were instrumental in sharpening my pitch and edge to stand out and close LPs. Met and close some amazing LPs through the program. Would highly recommend taking part in Sutton Capital!

I’ve participated in Sutton Capital’s VC training program since November 2022. I’m a complete newbie to the industry with minimal previous knowledge. I’m learning so many interesting and in-depth concepts such as deal sourcing and evaluation, investment strategies, etc. related to VC & PE with extremely helpful instructors. I especially enjoy the industry interviews with an impressive array of experienced professionals already working in this space. Joel offers a wealth of tools and advice to succeed!

I've participated in the Sutton Capital Fund Accelerator program and had a fantastic experience. Joel is incredibly knowledge about the venture industry and brings in an impressive range of guests to provide feedback and guidance for our group. As the saying goes, it's not practice that makes perfect, it's "deliberate" practice, in which you can get valuable feedback from thoughtful coaches, which is exactly what Sutton Capital provides.

The Sutton Capital Fund Accelerator has been an awesome experience and I would highly recommend it to any emerging manager. The access to LP's and insight from the broader community is incredible.

Pleasure working w/ Joel. Great community of emerging managers building the next generation of venture capital.

Joel's fund accelerator program so far has been a wildly educational experience and a great opportunity to connect with fellow GP's and LP's. Highly recommend working with Joel and Sutton Capital!

Sutton Capital GP accelerator has been a very helpful and powerful experience. Connecting with other GPs has been extremely valuable while presenting to LPs and hearing immediate feedback is powerful given that generally does not happen in the real world. Having a group and community like Sutton Capital is invaluable, especially in a tough fundraising environment. I really appreciate Dr. Joel Palanthinkal's efforts in building an ecosystem of emerging fund GPs & LPs. I would recommend to any GPs launching a new fund or spinning out, and any LPs who are sourcing emerging managers, to discuss with Joel the opportunity to participate in the program.

I'm part of Sutton Capital's Cohort 6 and the experience to date has been absolutely great. Joel is always on top of his game and brings a fantastic crowd to the table. It's a highly engaging format with great feedback and connections. The software tools also make it easy to share deal information and communicate. Would recommend to anyone thinking about raising a fund.

I cannot recommend the Sutton Capital Fund Accelerator enough! Dr. Palathinkal has created a incredible community of GPs and LPs. The Accelerator program itself is structured, efficient, challenging, and highly engaging. The high caliber of emerging managers in our cohort elevated the experience and delivered beyond our expectations.

Since joining the program, we've had the opportunity to connect with several potential family office LPs and a brilliant group of emerging fund managers. We pitched in front of a large audience, received valuable feedback from professional allocators, and joined a tight-knit VC community that we plan to be a part of for many years to come.

If you are an emerging manager or an LP seeking exposure to emerging managers, I highly recommend connecting with Dr. Palathinkal and applying to join the next Sutton Capital Fund Accelerator cohort!

In spite of being in industry for years, it's great to join a constructive program focused on GP/LP feedback. I learned a lot from listening and participating, and Joel is a great cultivator of community.

The Sutton Capital PE/VC program has been a real top-notch experience. This program is offering an excellent hands-on approach, direct interactions with seasoned VC practitioners in the fields, and the inclusive and sharing culture with a lot of excellent talents inside the program makes it a great cohort to be part of. As an experienced professional with solid education backgrounds, however, I did lack direct VC / PE investment experiences. Sutton Capital offers the capability to work with real world VC experts, learn the insights of the industry from Joel, Matt and Romain etc., and lead on deals end to end – from sourcing to closing, enabled me to apply my skills into VC field and hit the ground running. It is also a very nice experience working with Joel – he is available setting up time to discuss questions, provide guidance and help on all VC/PE related topics and actively promoting you to the great network in the VC space. I definitely strongly recommend this program for all who want to break into VC / PE space!!

Being part of Sutton Capital Fund Accelerator was a very good experiencie for me and my fund . I love the peer-to-peer sessions and quick pitch session with LPs who helped with honest feedback and network. I think the most valuable asset of Sutton Capital fund accelerator is the network that you can build not only with LPs, also with a lot of GP collegues around the world. Strongly recommended!

Being a part of cohort five in the Sutton Fund Accelerator has been an extraordinary experience, and it started from day one! I've never met a group of high-caliber LPs and Emerging Managers until now. Folks I'll keep in touch with for years to come. Joel Palathinkal made this experience possible. He's a consummate investor and connector. You need to know Joel!

The Sutton Capital LP accelerator has been a truly great experience. I'm currently nearing the end of the program, which has been super helpful with not only connecting with other LPs but with so many different emerging fund managers and many others from the venture community. Dr. Joel Palathinkal, who runs the program is amazing, he has curated and built a deep network of LPs, and funds as well as a 20k plus public network via slack. Anyone looking to start a new fund, or raising a pre-existing fund, Sutton is a great program to expand your network and to expand your knowledge.
