(3)The Cap-Intro Business Was Built on Handshakes. iConnections Turned It Into Software.
A pandemic side project for charity became the meeting place for hedge funds, private equity and the allocators who fund them - roughly 26,000 members and $50 trillion in capital, run on software instead of steak dinners.
Pathzero
Pathzero is a Sydney-based climate-tech company that builds a unified software platform for financial institutions to measure, share and disclose carbon emissions across public and private markets. Its data-sharing network connects asset owners with more than 500 fund managers, giving investors direct-from-source, audit-ready emissions data where information has historically been hardest to obtain - private markets. Founded in 2020 inside the Antler incubator, Pathzero has grown into what it describes as the world's largest private-markets carbon emissions data network.
AngelList
AngelList is the software platform behind a meaningful slice of U.S. early-stage venture capital. What started in 2010 as a way to introduce founders to angel investors has become the infrastructure layer for fund managers - the place where funds, SPVs, syndicates, and rolling funds get formed, administered, and reported on. Today thousands of investors run capital through AngelList, and a sizeable share of every new American startup round touches its rails.
