The private capital markets face an array of challenges—disjointed data, manual processes, and the sheer volume of deals passing across investors’ desks. As we develop Konzortia Hub, we’ve engaged with Founder’s Circle members, a group of industry experts, to gather real-world insights on these issues.
Through interviews, these professionals—representing family offices, hedge funds, private equity, and more—have identified the pain points they experience daily. Their feedback has been crucial in shaping a platform that addresses the pressing needs of investors in the private market space.
Investing Pain Points
We’ve conducted in-depth interviews with 15 different Founder’s Circle members so far, and some common themes have emerged regarding the frustrations they face. One significant issue raised by multiple members is the overwhelming number of deals crossing their desks daily, making it nearly impossible to efficiently filter high-potential investments that match their strategies.
Josh Steinberg, a hedge fund manager, shared that his biggest challenge is sorting through deals:
“We get hit with too many deals, sometimes as many as 10 in a day. It’s very time-consuming to filter them and determine whether they fit our investment thesis.”
He expressed a need for a solution that not only assesses the financials but also evaluates whether a deal aligns with his fund’s strategy.
For many of our members, like Alvin Kim, a venture capitalist, current deal sourcing tools are falling short. Alvin relies on spreadsheets but knows that more advanced platforms could help streamline his processes. He’s looking for features that automate due diligence and improve access to high-quality data:
“We need better tools for aggregating diverse deals and automating compliance checks and risk assessments to reduce manual work.”
The Power of AI and Real-Time Data
Several members highlighted the potential of AI to revolutionize how they make investment decisions. Zeek Ojeh, an accredited investor and veteran in private markets, emphasized the importance of using AI to navigate disjointed data and forecast future trends based on historical information:
“AI is changing everything we do. Capturing and making sense of scattered data will be key to success.”
For Zeek and others, the need for real-time is critical to staying ahead of market shifts:
“Real-time information is key. If it’s not real-time, it needs to be close enough so I can take action fast,” he added. The ability to aggregate and analyze fragmented data in real time could be a game-changer for private market investors, helping them move quickly on opportunities.
Alvin Kim echoed this sentiment, noting that AI-driven trend analysis is at the top of his wish list for a private capital platform. He values AI’s ability to process large data sets, generate predictive insights, and perform scenario modeling. In the fast-moving world of private markets, real-time market insights allow investors to make agile decisions that can significantly impact returns.
Coordinating Complex Transactions
Tracking deal progress and managing multiple stakeholders is another recurring challenge among our Founder’s Circle members. According to Josh Steinberg, coordinating with various parties can often lead to miscommunication or delays, which jeopardizes the deal’s success:
“Tracking deal progress can be difficult when you’re dealing with pre-seed and small companies because sometimes they can change their minds on a dime. Some of those companies are slightly unstable in the sense that they don’t have the infrastructure built out to really go through that process without any hiccups. So coordinating with all of the parties to make sure that they’re being upfront and really explaining what they’re looking for can be challenging. “
A platform that facilitates clearer communication and keeps all stakeholders aligned will go a long way in streamlining the transaction process.
Alvin Kim shared similar frustrations with tracking pipeline performance and ensuring timely deal progression. He pointed out that deal pipelines can be tricky to maintain because of inconsistent data entry and the dynamic nature of investments:
“Real-time updates and better tracking tools would make it easier to stay on top of my deal pipeline.”
