Flashpoint
“We at Catalus Capital have found Palico to be an innovative platform helping us source differentiated investment opportunities. The Palico team is continually pushing the boundaries of applying technology to improve the liquidity of private capital.”
“We like that you [Palico] help the smaller end of the market to get secondary market liquidity. Most private market investors don’t hold positions in the hundreds of millions and hence don’t get serviced by the larger advisory firms. There was clearly a gap in the secondary market where Palico now plays an important role.”
“We like Palico as a discovery tool as it has allowed us to learn about new funds we have never crossed before. This is especially useful for us as a small team — to have access to & explore a wide range of opportunities, all on one platform.”
“We applaud Palico’s approach and achievement in developing the effective digital solution to match the buyers and sellers with smaller size transactions, where there is an obvious gap in the market. The UI/UX design of the platform is very impressive. Not to mention that the team of Palico is very professional and dedicated to supporting each transaction.”
“Palico and its team understand the needs of professional secondary buyers like us well, and as such have created an intuitive platform and a smooth experience. Since being on the platform, we have been introduced to interesting and consistent deal flows on Palico, including from our focus area in Asia.”
“Palico has developed a very useful platform, with a smooth user experience and a growing inventory of opportunities, to match buyers and sellers in secondaries transactions that otherwise might not get done in a traditional process.”
“We generated interest from 3 different LPs within one week – Like most GPs, we are a small team and we do not have enough staff to actively seek out buyers. The Palico platform allowed us to list our secondary stake in a straightforward and fast manner, and engage with buyers in a secure digital environment.”
