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

For the Finscale MASTERCLASS "FinTech - Back to Basics", it's here : http://bit.ly/3KFu9ocThis is an excerpt of the episode published on Sunday. 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.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, hosted by Audiomeans©.

#43 - Sinclair Toffa (Mural Pay) - Transforming payments by betting on Stablecoins

For the Finscale MASTERCLASS "FinTech - Back to Basics", it's here : http://bit.ly/3KFu9ocI realised that not everyone knows what stablecoins are and how they differ from each other and from CBDCs. I covered this topic some time ago on my French channel with the entrepreneur Pablo Veyrat, the founder of Angle. In this episode, we discuss it in more detail with my guest: Sinclair. This founder, who spent some time at Palantir, talks about the Mural Pay venture he created in the US to rationalise instant global payments and invoicing. Mural eliminates delays and fees, allowing vendors and contractors to be paid with stablecoin-based payments.  Various use cases are examined more closely to understand the start-up's strategy and how it evangelises its market, along with how the teams developed their solution: integrations and features.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, hosted by Audiomeans©.

#41 - Charlie Tafoya (Chronograph) - Data : the lifeblood of Private Equity warfare.

For the Finscale MASTERCLASS "FinTech - Back to Basics", it's here : http://bit.ly/3KFu9ocThere is still a long way to go to transform the PE industry, which still relies on Excel for many tasks. These manual processes are a golden opportunity for anyone looking to innovate in the industry and help the constellation of players in this ecosystem improve their efficiency and better serve their clients. I reached out to Chronograph because I am well aware of the work they have been doing for years to streamline data management, analytics, and reporting. This US-based solution offers a portfolio monitoring software that makes life easier for PE investors across the globe. Charlie shares with us their story and how the initially LP-focused offering naturally expanded to GPs. We discuss the solution and the specific problems it addresses. One of the three essential pillars of the PE stack.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, hosted by Audiomeans©. Visit the Privacy Policy of Finscale and Audiomeans for more information.

#40 - Hillel Zidel (Kennet Partners) - SaaS: A comprehensive look with a veteran investor

For the Finscale MASTERCLASS "FinTech - Back to Basics", it's here : http://bit.ly/3KFu9ocI've been discussing SaaS on the podcast for years. In his renowned article "Why software is eating the world", Marc Andreessen explained that software would take over large portions of the economy, driven by the proliferation and success of the SaaS model. This model has shifted us from physical and localised systems to global, scalable, and efficient software solutions. Thirteen years after these insights, what do we think about SaaS? It's a topic I've been eager to explore with an expert. Hillel, who has years of experience investing in B2B SaaS, joined me for this discussion. We covered many topics, including the evolution of pricing models, the value proposition, the transformation of incumbents, the shift to cloud-based services, and more recently, topics related to AI. This was an opportunity for me to introduce you to Kennet, whom I know well. We discussed the funds, the thesis, and certain investments, such as Eloomi, which have exited. This investment allows us to talk about KPIs and the role of sustainable growth in investment decisions.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, hosted by Audiomeans©.

#39 - Ronit Ghose (Citi) - Past, present and future of Money

For the Finscale MASTERCLASS "FinTech - Back to Basics", it's here : http://bit.ly/3KFu9ocI'm excited to speak with Ronit this week. He has a talent for simplifying finance from a macro perspective and can think conceptually about the industry's future. Recently, this brilliant mind from Citi published a new book on the industry's future. He presents a comprehensive overview of money throughout history, spanning from ancient times to the present day and beyond.  This episode provides us with a great opportunity to gain perspective and focus on some incredible aspects that tech in finance enables, such as promoting greater inclusion and providing access to banking services for women. These use cases demonstrate that change is indeed underway and is accelerating. I share Ronit's passion for discussing the future. So, I'll let you enjoy this beautiful retrospective guided by his book. Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, hosted by Audiomeans©. Visit the Privacy Policy of Finscale and Audiomeans for more information.
