Featured Allocator | Logan Lett Brock of Starhill Holdings
EAA: How did you find your way to being an LP?
Logan: I’ve always been drawn to complex problem solving. Early on, coding was how I channeled that, which led me to an internship as a data analyst in the Rees-Jones family office. What struck me about the work in a family office was the layer of intangible factors sitting on top of the modeling - every decision had to account for the family’s goals and preferences, which made the problem solving more creative, more relationship-driven, and more purposeful than just a quantitative exercise. This combination of hard problems with real purpose is what pulled me toward the LP world.
EAA: Tell us more about your organization. What’s its origin story and core mission?
Logan: Starhill Holdings is a single-family office established to serve the long-term interests of Elisa Hill Summers and her family in Dallas, Texas. The firm draws on decades of investment expertise developed within its predecessor, AG Hill Partners, where the family was actively engaged in energy, real estate, and private equity. Building on that foundation, Starhill is expanding into new sectors with durable, long-term value through an endowment style investment approach.
EAA: What are you currently looking to invest in? / What are you excited about?
Logan: Starhill invests across asset classes, but I especially enjoy diligencing emerging managers in middle-market buyout and venture. They tend to be gritty and competitive - that same drive to win underpins how our family office operates, so the alignment feels natural and, honestly, fun.
EAA: What’s the best way to get in touch with you?
Logan: LinkedIn is the best way to reach me - or find me at the upcoming Texas EAA events!
EAA: What’s something you believe about investing that most other LPs would disagree with?
Logan: Energy is still in an addition story, and not yet in a strict transition mode. Demand isn’t being replaced - it’s compounding, especially with AI and electrification. I feel like most allocator capital is well positioned for a transition; I think the next decade rewards the people who also underwrote addition.
EAA: When you meet a new GP, what are you subconsciously looking for in the first 10 minutes?
Logan: In the first ten minutes, I am really looking for authenticity. I don’t prefer to be sold that a GP is a master of everything - the GPs I trust are clear about what they’re genuinely a master of, and it’s coherent with their strategy and their lens on the market. When a strategy is built on lived experience, authenticity follows naturally... you can’t fake an edge you’ve actually lived and earned.
EAA: What’s a hill you’re willing to die on as an investor?
Logan: Alignment beats terms on paper. I’d rather have a hungry, genuinely aligned GP with a fair structure than a brand-name manager whose incentives quietly drift from ours.
EAA: What’s an investment theme you’re actively avoiding?
Logan: I’m cautious on highly levered strategies. We are long-duration capital, so we prefer not to lean on excessive financial engineering to generate returns - we would rather underwrite genuine operational value creation. And as we gear up for a possible higher-inflation environment, that positioning is a real advantage: pricing power, real assets, and our energy thesis all benefit when inflation runs hot. Starhill’s portfolio is built to be protective there, not exposed.
EAA: If you could live anywhere, where would you live?
Logan: Dallas will always be home, but I’d love to add regular summer trips to Colorado to escape the heat for outdoor tennis and hikes through incredible nature. Best of both worlds!
