Investment thesis

Broadhaven Ventures is a global early-stage fintech investor that deploys principal capital — not third-party LP money — into financial technology companies, venture capital funds, and incubated asset management businesses. The firm believes that 'innovations in underlying financial infrastructure power financial services revolutions,' and that 'evolutions power revolutions.' Broadhaven focuses on market structure evolutions across consumer and enterprise fintech, alternative assets, payments, crypto/Web3, and emerging markets (particularly Latin America, Africa, and Asia), backing founders from inception to IPO. It is affiliated with Broadhaven Capital Partners, a leading financial services investment bank that has advised on over $100 billion in announced transactions, giving the firm a differentiated operator and advisory perspective at every stage of a company's lifecycle.

Notable quotes

Fractionalization is a massive innovation for this space because it's unlocked retail participation at scale. And if you think about these platforms as almost like the modern-day investment bank for this space, they're IPOing these assets. It creates a liquidity mechanism for individuals and funds who have these assets and want to sell them.
