🎙️ Private Market Gladiators – Episode 1

Retailization of Private Markets: Are We Ready to Open the Gates?

In our first episode, we take on one of the most hotly debated trends in private markets: retailization. Can private market investing be democratized responsibly? Or are we diluting an asset class that was built for exclusivity?

From regulation to risk, scalability to trust, this conversation sets the tone for what Private Market Gladiators is all about—real talk, no filters, and actionable insight.

🔍 What you’ll learn:

• Why the next wave of capital formation could come from retail investors
• The operational and regulatory hurdles to building scalable retail-accessible products
• Whether portfolios or single-deal structures make sense for retail
• How NAV pricing, transparency, and fund-of-funds design are evolving
• Where technology platforms and new regulations (like ELTIF 2.0) are leading us

🎤 Featuring:

• Andreas Bezner, CEO & Co-Founder, Stableton
• Fabian Langaard, COO, Capmont
