Lisa Cawley is the Managing Director of Screendoor. Lisa is responsible for the entirety of the Firm’s operations, including portfolio management, strategy development, community engagement, and operations. Screendoor is an investment platform that invests as an LP of GPs to support new managers raising early institutional funds to build an enduring firm. Screendoor plays an active role in helping managers build their firms with a meaningful capital commitment and curated mentorship from established GPs who have all built their own firms and can assist new managers with the unique challenges that come along with firm-building. The Firm also intentionally facilitates relationships between their institutional partners and portfolio GPs, so they have early visibility and access into the next generation of leading firms as they scale. Prior to Screendoor, Lisa worked with a private multi-billion-dollar global investment firm where she was involved in all aspects of managing the firm’s private market portfolio, including sourcing and manager due diligence, asset allocation and forecasting, and creating and implementing the firm’s investment data tools and analytics. Lisa started her career at Ernst & Young where she served private equity and consumer products clients.
