    DealsPlus' Venkat Subramaniam - building a single source of truth for private markets

    Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast. Today’s episode is with a founder who is building mission-critical software for private equity firms. I sat down in Citywire’s London studio with Venkat Subramaniam, the Co-Founder of DealsPlus, to discuss why he has built a digital solution to streamline, digitize, and automate the management of complex holding and capital structures for private equity firms. Historically, private equity firms have relied on humans and manual processes to manage and track cap tables, transactions, and entities. This process has required significant human intervention and has often been rife with errors, making deals harder to consummate and transactions. Venkat has taken his 15 years of experience advising private equity managers on cross-border transactions, most recently as an Associate Partner at EY UK, to build DealsPlus to create a single source of truth for capital structures for private equity firms. DealsPlus works with a number of industry-leading private equity firms and is backed by a private equity firm with $38B in AUM. Venkat and I had a fascinating conversation about the challenges private equity firms face with managing and tracking transactions and portfolio companies. We discussed: Why it’s been so hard to create a cap table management solution for private equity.Why it's much harder to build software for private equity firms than venture capital firms.How private markets can move from the Excel Age to the Digital Age.How to build software that provides a single source of truth.The atomic unit of value in private markets.Building an end-to-end platform versus building a point solution.What’s next in post-investment ops tech innovation?Thanks Venkat for coming on the show to share your thoughts and wisdom on private markets tech.

    Going Public with Evercore's Glenn Schorr - Ep. 2

    Welcome back to Going Public with Evercore’s Glenn Schorr. On the latest episode of Going Public, we drop the beat on F.R.E.A.M.  Paying homage to Wu-Tang Clan’s song “C.R.E.A.M.” (“Cash rules everything around me”), Glenn discusses why “Fees rule everything around me” in asset management.  We cover some of last quarter's most pressing topics in alternative asset management, including: How alternative asset managers balance fee generation with returns.Does major growth still lie ahead for alternative asset managers?Why “fees rule everything around me,” but so does alpha generation.Why does distribution (almost always) win in asset management?What’s the most valuable aspect of a publicly traded alts manager having a public currency?What is Glenn keeping his eye on for next quarter?Making private markets more public — with expert analysis Alt Goes Mainstream has partnered with an expert who has seen the evolution of alternative asset managers from their early days. Glenn Schorr is a Senior MD and Senior Research Analyst at Evercore ISI, where he covers brokers, banks, asset managers, and trust banks as an analyst.  He has covered financials since 2000 and started coverage of alternative asset managers when the first firms went public. He’s consistently come up as one of the most thoughtful and well-respected analysts in the space. He balances deep research with a creative flair (just read one of the titles of his research reports and you can see his love of the game). He’s been named to Institutional Investor’s All-America Research Team for his coverage, most recently ranking #2 and runner up in 2023, #1 and #2 in 2022. Prior to Evercore, Glenn was a Senior MD at Nomura, serving as the lead financials analyst.  Listen in as Glenn shares market stories, the evolution of alternative asset managers as businesses, the biggest and most exciting trends in private markets based on what the industry’s largest players are doing, and we go “around the horn” for his analysis on the publicly traded firms.

    Balderton's Rana Yared - a masterclass on building global companies out of Europe

    Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast. Today’s guest is an expert in financial services and capital markets who has experience as both a strategic investor and a VC. We welcome Rana Yared, a General Partner at Balderton, where she co-leads their Growth Fund. She came to Balderton in 2020 from across the pond, where she was a Partner at Goldman Sachs, first in the Principal Strategic Investments Group, a balance sheet investing team, and later in GS Growth, when the group became part of the GS Growth efforts that began to take in outside LP capital. At Goldman, Rana oversaw investments in Financial Technology and Enterprise Technology as well as the commercialization of Goldman’s technology assets in both NYC and London. She represented Goldman on the boards of Tradeweb, NAV, Vestwell, New York Shipping Exchange, and Swapclear @ LCH. She currently serves on the board of Tradeweb in an independent capacity. Coming off of a fundraise of $1.3B in new capital across early and growth stage funds at Balderton, Rana and I discussed what LPs were interested in and why Europe is a compelling investment ecosystem. We had a fascinating discussion about: Revolutionary and evolutionary innovations in financial services and private markets, including the likes of iCapital, Tradeweb, Revolut.Why global tech companies can be built in Europe, with Revolut, a Balderton portfolio company, as an example.Why London and Europe are compelling fintech and financial services ecosystems.How LPs should look at the European investment opportunity.Differences and benefits / drawbacks of being a strategic / permanent capital investor versus being an independent VC fund.The importance of being a risk manager in venture.Thanks Rana for coming on the show to share your wisdom and views on Europe, venture, and private markets.
