Leyla Kunimoto is the co-founder of Accredited Investor Insights, a platform demystifying private placements, venture funds, and commercial real estate for LPs and high-net-worth investors. She writes for a cross-section of the ecosystem—limited partners, fund managers, RIAs, and wealth advisors—focused on cutting through jargon to what actually drives outcomes.

With thousands of conversations across LPs and GPs and a personal investing journey that started at 19, Leyla distills the messy reality of private markets into practical signal. She launched Accredited Investor Insights in early 2024 to share hard-won lessons and patterns others can use.

She offers insights into information asymmetry, accredited-investor access (and the likelihood of a knowledge test), how alternatives may creep into 401(k)s via target-date funds, the promise and potholes of secondaries and tokenization, the illiquidity tax LPs underestimate, and what the next decade holds as mega-managers court retail capital.

In this episode, she discusses why retail LPs struggle to do “real” diligence, when concentration beats diversification (and when it wrecks you), why secondary liquidity for $50k stakes remains broken, and how better GP reporting separates luck from skill.

14:54 Misconceptions to unlearn about private markets
