FUND CLOSING GIFTS,
COMMEMORATIVES & CUSTOM AWARDS
Polaris Custom Awards specializes in fund closing commemoratives, custom awards, and financial tombstones designed to honor major capital raises, fund milestones, and institutional achievements. Whether celebrating an oversubscribed close, the launch of a new strategy, or a successful re-up campaign, our expert team creates bespoke fund markers that reflect the scale and significance of your accomplishment.
Using premium materials like Lucite, crystal, and metal, we craft elegant awards that incorporate fund branding, embedded artifacts, or custom shapes tailored to your story.
From commemoratives for general partners and investor relations teams to LP gifts and internal recognition pieces, our designs highlight the success of private equity firms, venture capital platforms, and institutional fund managers. Whether recognizing a flagship fund close or marking a strategic capital milestone, Polaris Custom Awards delivers high-quality, fully custom pieces that reflect the prestige and excellence of your firm.
1. What types of fund closings do you create commemoratives for?
We work with private equity, venture capital, growth equity, real assets, and other investment platforms to create awards for flagship fund closings, final closes, first closes, and milestone capital raises. Whether you’re marking the close of Fund I or celebrating the hard cap of Fund V, we can help.
2. Can you create custom awards for our LPs or co-investors?
Yes — many firms commission custom gifts or commemoratives for limited partners, anchor investors, or strategic co-investors. We can create unified designs or personalized variants for specific LPs while keeping the process efficient.
3. Do you work with Investor Relations or marketing teams?
Absolutely. We frequently collaborate with IR, marketing, or operations teams who are planning closing events, producing LP materials, or looking for a meaningful way to mark the close of a fund.
4. Can you help us design something from scratch?
Yes. Everything we do is custom — nothing is off the shelf. Most of our clients come to us with a general milestone in mind — we help with concepting, materials, shape ideas, and production details. You don’t need to have a finished design — we’ll guide you through it.
5. How long does the whole process take?
A typical project can take as little as 3–4 weeks from when you first contact us to when we ship the product, but it varies by media and design. We can also expedite projects when needed.
6. Do you offer design previews before production?
Yes, we provide detailed renderings for your approval to ensure the final product meets your expectations, and for most projects we encourage shipping a prototype for in-hand review before running full orders.
7. How do I get started?
Contact us with the details of your fund closing, and our team will guide you through the design and production process. For any design, sending the logos and a rough idea of how many pieces you’ll need will let us get started right away on a detailed proposal that includes designs and lists all costs for the project.
We’re looking forward to working with you!
