Episode Description

"Traditional wealth platforms are going to be inadequate for this emerging class of investors…"

A new generation of tech and startup professionals is amassing wealth through ownership stakes in their companies, primarily through ESOPs. And these individuals are seeking compelling opportunities to reinvest in the ecosystem they understand best - needs that traditional platforms aren't equipped to handle.

Yet, paradoxically, the very people building today's great companies often find themselves locked out of investing in them. Unless you're part of an exclusive network or compensated with ESOPs, the doors to startup equity remain firmly shut.

This disconnect is what spurred Ankita and Joy to create Infinyte Club.

Infinyte is addressing the unique needs of this segment by unlocking access to the coveted asset class of startup investments as their starting point, with a vision to become the money manager for the next-generation wealthy.

In this conversation with Kshitij Jayakrishnan (Vice President, Elevation Capital), Ankita and Joy take us through their journey of building a wealth management platform tailored for the Intelligent Investor - the employees, builders, and operators of India's burgeoning tech & startup ecosystem.

They discuss the emergence of solo capitalists in India, the importance of building a team with "T-shaped” personas, and how their own fundraising experience informed their product design.
