Ryan Eisenman - Making Private Markets More Accessible

Ryan Eisenman, co-founder of Arch, joins the show to discuss how private investments are managed and why he thought the company needed to exist. The conversation covers how the relative quiet of private markets may shape investor behavior compared with public markets, what longer time horizons can teach about patience and delayed gratification, and what exposure public-market-only investors may be missing. It also takes up who should have access to private markets, the role technology can play in broadening that access, and how Arch's diligence tool evaluates private companies.
