Founding Partner
CurrentEQUIAM believes there is a better way to invest in private markets.In the 1970s and 1980s, the hedge and mutual fund industries were led by high-cost discretionary managers. Beginning in the 1990s, the process of systematization (using data-driven strategies and portfolio engineering concepts) modernized these industries, increasing access and returns and elevating investment approaches.We believe the same sea change is now needed in the private markets. As a systematic VC firm, EQUIAM can invest rapidly and opportunistically into rigorously-vetted, data-driven selections of exceptional private firms.John leads several functions at EQUIAM overseeing the investment execution process and driving investment model optimization efforts. EQUIAM's first fund currently grades out in the top 1% of VC funds launched in the 2019 vintage year with a 1.75x DPI (per Cambridge Associates).
