PE/VC investors
Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) investors are the catalysts of innovation and growth in the business world. PE firms primarily target established companies, seeking to optimize operations and unlock value through strategic investments and management expertise. They focus on long-term growth and profitability, often preparing businesses for a future sale or IPO. VC investors, by contrast, are the adventurers of finance, injecting capital into high-potential startups and early-stage companies. They embrace risk for the possibility of outsized returns, often becoming invaluable advisors. Both investor types not only bring capital but also strategic guidance, industry connections, and market insights, propelling their portfolio companies towards success.

Financial Services Rebuilt
Fintech innovation of the last decade was characterized by startups that made existing financial products digital-first. Now, many of those companies threaten legacy financial institutions and, as a result, financial products and services are being fundamentally reimagined. A new era of application layer financial product innovation is now possible, opening the gates to embed financial services inside software. Decentralized finance accelerates these possibilities even further, using code to replace gatekeepers. In many regions around the globe, underserved individuals and organizations are leapfrogging traditional financial services and gaining access to the financial sector for the first time via fintech. In our view, every sector in the world of financial services will be rebuilt from the ground up and we are still in the early innings of this transformation.
Venture capital is living in a bygone era. Our industry uses its capital to fund disruption but, ironically, has done little work to disrupt itself. Hierarchy and homogeneous networks still dominate. Affiliated wealth creation is limited to closed networks of people. And the “game” is played with “rules” that don’t best serve founders.
We know that having a diversity of perspectives leads to better outcomes. Organizations need to hear from enough vantage points to make the most informed decisions. And democratizing access to wealth creation broadens influence to a less uniform group.
A change is far overdue.
