Profile

Opto Investments (“Opto”) is engineering the future of private markets, offering the solution for wealth managers to efficiently build and manage differentiated private investment programs.

Opto’s end-to-end technology solution dramatically streamlines building, fundraising for, and managing a bespoke private markets fund or program, allowing independent investment advisors, family offices, and private banks to scale their offerings without scaling their team.

Founded by Joe Lonsdale, the entrepreneur behind Palantir and Addepar, and backed by investors including 8VC and Michael Dell’s DFO Management, Opto set out to forge a business free from the faulty legacy incentives on which private markets investing is built. Opto is not compensated by fund managers to offer funds, which enables an undiluted focus on quality. When Opto recommends an investment, it's with purpose. When they pass, it's with conviction. Clients can combine their best ideas with Opto’s in a bespoke partnership tailored to their needs.

Opto’s platform automates admin processes across the entire private markets investment journey, saving advisors hours of time inputting client data, creating compelling proposals, completing subscription documents, managing capital calls, and delivering client communications.
