“In five years, all will be done with AI.”
Raising capital is one of the biggest challenges for hedge fund managers, while discovering and analyzing promising small to mid-sized funds is a time-consuming task for allocators.
AlternativeSoft, a platform trusted by 150 institutional clients (including 5 of the 10 largest investors in hedge funds), has launched a new AI-driven feature called 'Capital Raise' to solve this disconnect.
It functions as a “Amazon-like” hedge fund marketplace where managers can upload their fact sheet and supporting documents for free. The platform's AI then automatically reads the documents, extracts three pros and three cons, fills out questionnaires, raises red flags, and performs a due diligence analysis.
In this new Opalesque.TV interview, Laurent Favre, Founder and CEO of AlternativeSoft, sits down with Matthias Knab in London to explain how this digital hedge fund marketplace is changing the game for both managers and allocators, enabling hedge fund managers to gain free visibility among top investors — while allocators can screen, analyse and access funds in minutes rather than weeks.
Laurent also shares his bold vision of the future: Within five years, private funds will be sold by AI avatars - and bought with a mouse click.
