Cascade #16 - Chris Hladczuk: From Scaling $100M AUM in 100 Days to Reinventing Fund Administration
Chris Hladczuk is the co-founder and CEO of Hanover Park, a modern AI-powered fund administration platform transforming how venture capital and private equity firms manage their back office.
By combining AI agents with human expertise, Hanover Park eliminates the inefficiencies of traditional fund admin, replacing outdated spreadsheets, fragmented SaaS tools, and manual workflows with a fully integrated, automated system.
With a focus on high-speed, AI-native fund accounting, they’ve already onboarded over $1B in assets under administration and are scaling rapidly.
Chris previously scaled $100M+ in AUM in 100 days at Meow and built a massive audience on Twitter, using social capital as a growth engine.
Now, he’s applying that same intensity and execution speed to disrupt one of finance’s most archaic industries.
