Are you in
#LP with liquidity tied up? Well, I just had a great chat with Alex Simpson, the founder and CEO of Openstock (LiquidLP), on our latest episode of
#FundraisingDemystified, and we talked about opening up liquidity for LPs that are invested in private funds.
We talked about how LPs in various funds can access cash when they need it without having to sell their stake or manage the opaque secondary markets.
Alex, originally from South Africa, is a serial fintech entrepreneur who really knows the LP pain in this current illiquid market.
He built a big network and saw a need for loans for LPs to access liquidity in their fund positions.
Then he started OpenStock.
His company helps LPs get money without giving up future profits. Fund managers love working with OpenStock because they don’t have to stress about selling any of their positions too early to meet LP liquidity needs.
We talked about how important it is to be able to borrow against investments for LPs to access cash for various needs.
Alex knows a lot about balancing the need for cash now with the chance to make more money later.
He shared some smart ways to do this with loans.
We also looked at how OpenStock gives people cash for different kinds of assets, like buildings or private loans.
They're really careful about making sure their deals are safe and flexible for investors.
They assess over 200 data points to mitigate risks when underwriting their deals.
If you have already invested in private funds or want to know why having liquidity matters so much these days, Alex's advice is really helpful.
He talked about building trust with LPs, setting the right expectations, and why being clear is key.
