    #47 - Gaurav Bhandari (Long Arc Capital) - From Goldman to Long Arc : Scaling "by the book"

    After a career at Goldman, Gaurav launched his Private Equity firm to scale companies with gold nugget products. Together, we dissect the concrete value contribution of this New York-based investor, whose partners have extensive CVs. Gaurav discusses VeArc, a subsidiary of Long Arc that provides support services to LAC portfolio companies at cost. We revisit the three pillars of scaling in a well-processed manner. The reason I invited Gaurav is precisely for this scaling process by the book that Long Arc has implemented with its team, as well as its advice from world-renowned industry leaders.

    #46 - Oliver Tonkin (BCB Group) - Powering Gemini and Kraken with scalable and secure solutions

    For those who are not familiar, BCB Group is Europe's leading payment service provider for the digital asset economy. A pioneer in the industry, they have gone through the process of becoming regulated as an Authorised Payment Institution in the UK and Europe. We speak with Olly about these regulatory choices, including the decision to operate in France. We detail their offerings and how this UK-born company serves large clients like Gemini and Kraken. One of the points I also had in mind is the consolidation of custody and governance of its digital asset operations on Metaco, now part of Ripple. We discuss what this brings in terms of scalability and security, as well as the challenges related to their status as a regulated institution. You'll see that it's quite a project, well managed.

    [BEST-OF] - Siobhan Moret (Saffery Champness) - Building trusts in digital assets

    One of Finscale's Best Of in 2023. There's nothing I enjoy more than exploring complex and intriguing areas of finance with you. n this podcast, our guest from Switzerland sheds light on fiduciary services, trusts, and their relationship with wealth management, as well as common misconceptions. We discuss the use, benefits, and drawbacks of trusts for holding assets such as rainforest deeds, IP, and digital assets, and the importance of fiduciary duties and governance. We also touch on the typology of clients using trusts, including pioneers, founders, and experienced investors. Siobhan mentions the evolution of regulation and the interest in building trusts in Switzerland, along with the controversy surrounding the Pandora papers. During the conversation, she talks about the challenges of building trusts in the context of digital assets, including specific use cases such as the inheritance of NFTs and the creation of a Token Foundation through which DAOs with their own on-chain treasury can interact with the off-chain world. She explains the partnerships Saffery Champness is building with service providers in traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem, such as Coinify.

    #45 - Andrea Monteleone (World Bank) - World Bank mysteries unveiled

    In the same way that I greatly enjoyed hosting the EIB, the EIF, a deputy, and a finance minister, I am delighted this week to understand the role played by the World Bank in the digitalisation and modernisation of financial systems in emerging countries. Together with Andrea, we explore the example of instant payments and examine the role played by the World Bank in this implementation, particularly through the practical case of their deployment in the Western Balkans. This sheds light on this historic institution based in Washington, DC—a great way to understand the nature of their collaborations with both public and private sectors. You will understand concretely how the World Bank assists developing economies worldwide in modernizing payment systems and the financial sector in general. By partnering with policymakers and the private sector, it develops a new playbook to drive impactful and resilient development. Modernizing the financial sector is just one aspect of it, as the World Bank has already been supporting more than 12,000 development projects, including infrastructure, schools, and roads.

    #44 - Steffen Pauls (Moonfare) - Unlocking the future of Private Equity

    I had been contemplating this discussion for four years already. I do not regret waiting. I am absolutely delighted to have had a chat with Steffen, who provides us with a wealth of insights into the democratisation of private equity. What is pleasing about this entrepreneur is his profoundly deep knowledge of the industry and his vision. He explains how he executed his plan with his team, from the very first investment of EUR 10 million in an EQT fund to the platform we now know with its myriad of strategies, secondary management, as well as the white label offerings aimed at institutions that want to diversify their private equity offerings for their private clients. It is quite an extraordinary achievement that I am excited to share with you today. Don’t miss a bit and enjoy the show.
