Summary

Michael Sidgmore is the Co-Founder of Broadhaven Ventures and the creator of the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast, which explores the intersection of private markets, technology, and wealth management. His career spans early roles at Goldman Sachs and iCapital, experience building businesses in fintech and asset management, and investing across the private market ecosystem.

Our conversation offers an in-depth introduction to the intersection of private markets and private wealth. We discuss the origins of Alt Goes Mainstream, the rapid evolution of private markets, the convergence of institutional and wealth channels, and the rise of evergreen structures and new distribution models. We close with Michael’s perspective on how the wave of capital flowing into private markets from private wealth will impact investors, and on the importance of content, brand, and community in shaping the industry’s future.
