#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.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, distributed by Audiomeans©.

#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.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, distributed by Audiomeans©. Visit the Privacy Policy of Finscale and Audiomeans for more information.
