How Delio Built the Digital Backbone Powering Billions in Private Markets

Private markets have tripled to more than $10 trillion. Most of that infrastructure still runs on PDFs and manual processes. Gareth Lewis has spent years building the technology layer that institutions need to operate at scale in private markets. As Founder and CEO of Delio, he has onboarded over 50 financial institutions into a platform designed to digitize the entire private markets life cycle. In this Zinnia Media episode, Gareth breaks down why the digitization conversation is still ahead of where most firms actually operate, what GPs really want from their technology stack, and how AI is transforming the speed of product delivery. Key takeaways: The growth of private wealth investors has forced a shift from manual workflows to digital infrastructure across the value chain Large institutions choose to white-label platforms like Delio because building end-to-end infrastructure in-house is a monumental task, even with billion-dollar IT budgets GPs are increasingly looking to own their book of record and control their operating system, while still working across multiple service providers AI has been transformational for engineering velocity, closing the gap between client feedback and product delivery The most common mistake firms make: solving the nearest problem in isolation without a strategic end-to-end digital private markets strategy Golden rule from Gareth: “A strategic digital private market strategy needs to be in place before you even go on that journey, or you’ll end up with sticking plasters over problems.” #PrivateMarkets #WealthTech #AlternativeInvestments #AssetManagement #ZinniaMedia
