In this episode, Brad Zapp, co-founder of Connetic Ventures, shares how he left wealth management to pioneer AI-powered founder analysis and launch one of the first advisor-accessible venture capital interval funds. We dive into his journey building Wendell, an AI “psychologist” that quantifies founder traits, and why making private markets more accessible isn’t just innovation—it’s a necessity. For any advisor looking to bridge the public-private gap without sacrificing ease or scale, this episode delivers a bold new blueprint.
Key takeaways:
- AI can quantify founder psychology and improve early-stage investment decisions.
- Interval fund structures remove barriers for advisors and their mass affluent clients.
- Access to private markets is essential as companies stay private longer and public markets shrink.
