In this episode, Levent and Solenne dive into the fast-evolving infrastructure powering private markets with the founders of Bunch, a platform transforming fund operations for GPs, LPs and fund administrators. We unpack the major pain points in private markets : legal complexity, manual capital call processes, fragmented data and how Bunch positions itself as a System of Record for the industry. From handling intricate legal structures to automating capital calls and enhancing GP-LP transparency, Bunch is building the connective tissue for modern fund management. We also explore Bunch's recent expansion into Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the UK, their localised go-to-market strategies, and their long-term vision of becoming the default infrastructure for alternative assets globally. Key takeways : - Bunch streamlines fund operations by acting as a System of Record for private markets, reducing dependency on manual workflows and fragmented tools.- The platform simplifies legal complexity from LPAs and side letters to equalisation clauses through structured data models and automated compliance checks.- Bunch’s Capital Call Assistant automates the full lifecycle of capital calls, including edge cases like waterfall recalculations and equalisation interest, dramatically reducing operational risk and errors.- GPs benefit from improved LP relations thanks to enhanced reporting, greater transparency, and the ability to manage complex fund structures across jurisdictions.- LPs experience a smoother, more modern interface, with access to tailored dashboards and clearer data, improving trust and engagement with fund managers.- Bunch’s integration capabilities with legacy systems, auditors, and custodians ensure smoother adoption for established fund managers.- With recent expansion into Luxembourg, the NL and the UK, Bunch is adapting its go-to-market and legal architecture to fit local regulatory landscapes and investor expectations.- The team envisions Bunch as the default infrastructure layer for alternative asset managers globally, across PE, VC, real estate, and infrastructure.
