Few figures have played a role as central in the evolution of the U.S. private lending industry as Anthony Geraci. As the founder of Geraci LLP, he has advised private lenders and fund managers since the earliest days of the industry, helping shape the legal and structural foundations that allowed private lending to scale into what it is today.
Anthony is also a co-founder of the American Association of Private Lenders (AAPL) and the driving force behind two flagship annual conferences that have long accompanied his law firm’s growth—today known as Elevate and Activate. In addition, he has founded and co-founded multiple companies across the private lending ecosystem, always with a strong focus on education, professionalism, and long-term industry growth.
Today, we sit down with Anthony to discuss the launch of a special new white paper, Fund Formation 101 – Structuring a Private Lending Fund for Success, a practical guide designed to help private lenders navigate one of the most consequential decisions in their growth journey.
