Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.The Goldman Sachs Alternatives Summit “convened leaders across finance, geopolitics, technology, and culture” to discuss themes driving global markets.2025's Alternatives Summit was about “navigating a world in flux,” as the firm's recap of its event noted. The event aimed to help investors cut through the noise and put together the pieces of the puzzle in a dynamic and increasingly complex world. Alt Goes Mainstream joined the event to have unscripted conversations with Goldman Sachs Alternatives leaders to cut through the noise by unpacking key themes and trends at the intersection of private markets and private wealth.In this special series, we went behind the scenes and interviewed six Goldman Sachs Alternatives leaders about their current thinking on private markets and how the firm has built and evolved its private markets capabilities.This conversation was with Harold Hope, Partner, Global Head of Vintage Strategies, one of the world's largest secondary fund managers, in the External Investing Group (XIG) within Goldman Sachs Asset Management. He is also Chair of the XIG Vintage Funds Committee and a member of the XIG Real Estate Strategies Investment Committee and the XIG GP Strategies Investment Committee. Harold joined Goldman Sachs in 1999 as an Associate in Leveraged Finance and Corporate Finance within the Investment Banking Division and moved to the Alternative Investments & Manager Selection (now XIG) private equity business in 2001. He was named Managing Director in 2006 and Partner in 2016. Prior to joining the firm, Harold worked as a financial analyst at the investment banking boutique Bowles Hollowell Conner & Co. Harold earned a BA in Economics and Political Science from the University of North Carolina. Harold and I had a fascinating and timely conversation about the growth and evolution of the secondaries market. We discussed:Perspectives from Harold's early days in secondaries 25 years ago, when Goldman had raised its first $400M fund in secondaries and when the secondaries industry was doing around $2B per year in transaction volume.How the secondaries market is vastly different from five years ago. The evolution of innovation in the secondaries market.Why problem-solving is a defining feature of secondaries. What is the right skillset required to be a great secondaries investor?Why secondaries is fundamentally a valuation oriented business.Are secondaries returns driven by buying high-quality assets or by buying at steep discounts?Misconceptions about continuation vehicles and how the trend of private companies staying private longer impacts CVs.The how and the why behind Goldman's recent acquisition of Industry Ventures and why Goldman is excited about the opportunity set in venture and growth secondaries.Why scale matters in secondaries.Why secondaries might not become a traded market like the bank loan market and why secondaries may not fully achieve standardization because managers may not want completely uniform standardization.Why secondaries can be an on-ramp to private markets for private wealth investors.Thanks Harold for sharing your wisdom, expertise, and passion about secondaries and private markets.

Episode 410 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Paul Holder, CEO & Co-Founder of OnRamp. I've been working with startups since 1998—that's nearly 28 years now! Since the beginning, I've noticed the massive impact that startups can have on one's career. Take Paul… who joined an early-stage startup called Troops, which was later acquired by Salesforce. During his tenure there and at a software company prior (VTS), he didn't just experience the rocket-ship growth and accelerated career path that comes along with a successful startup—he also identified the massive challenge that led to OnRamp. It's a challenge that faces every company, not just software companies: Customer Onboarding. Founded in 2020, OnRamp is the intelligent, AI-enabled customer onboarding and engagement platform that helps companies accelerate adoption, strengthen customer relationships, and unlock revenue growth. The company recently announced its $15M Series A round of funding led by Koch Disruptive Technologies, with contributions from existing investors like Contour, Javelin, Pear, and others. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: * Advice on taking the entrepreneurial "leap of faith" and why you have to commit to a decade-long vision to build something meaningful. * Paul's background studying Finance at Boston College and his early career in strategy consulting. * His time at HighTower (where he met his co-founder Ross Lerner) and leading customer success and post-sales revenue at Troops. * How the friction of onboarding customers led to the original idea behind OnRamp. * Building their first version using Bubble (a no-code solution) long before "Vibe Coding" became a buzzword, and how they landed those crucial early adopters. * How OnRamp stays disciplined with their product roadmap while integrating AI to solve real-world customer pain points. * How they've successfully moved upmarket to land some of the world's largest companies and their philosophy on hiring the first sales leader. * And so much more!

Peter Grosskopf — former CEO of Sprott and co-founder of Argo — joins Scarce Assets to unpack why gold has been the runaway winner of 2025 and what that says about debt, inflation, and the end of “risk-free” bonds.Argo // SCP Resource FinanceConnect with Onramp // Onramp Institutional // ⁠Jackson Mikalic on X⁠WHAT WE COVER:- How gold became 2025's top-performing major asset while “nothing was really wrong”- Central bank de-dollarization: SWIFT sanctions, exploding US deficits, and reserve rebalancing- Why gold is quietly replacing Treasuries as the global “safe asset”- The debasement trade: protecting purchasing power when CPI underreports reality- Peter's personal allocation: ~50% in gold, silver, Argo balances, and miners- Liquidity, QT's end, and why the Fed's balance sheet likely has to grow again- Inside Argo: 24/7 direct-to-vault gold, outside the financial system, at ETF-beating costs- Tokenized gold (Tether, Pax) and why custody, vaults, and bankruptcy remoteness matterKEY INSIGHTS:- Gold's 2025 move isn't about a single crisis — it's decades of debasement risk finally being priced in- Central banks aren't just “adding diversification”; they're hedging both sanctions and US fiscal decay- For Peter, gold is no longer a hedge against dollars — it's the base unit of savings- Official inflation at 2–3% doesn't match lived experience; the real erosion feels closer to 5–7% with violent spikes- Treasuries are losing their status as the default safe haven; gold is stepping into that role- Bitcoin is still digesting leverage and maturing from a speculative tech trade into a long-horizon macro asset- Direct-to-vault and tokenized gold will sit at the core of the next monetary plumbing stackPETER'S THESIS: “Gold isn't just a crisis hedge anymore. It's the base case. The real experiment is trying to run this level of debt on fiat and calling it ‘risk-free.'”WHO IS PETER GROSSKOPF?- Co-Founder — Argo, a digital platform for direct-to-vault physical gold- Former CEO — Sprott (2010–2022), leading one of the world's premier precious metals firms- Managing Partner — SCP Resource Finance, focused on mining and real asset finance- 35+ Years in Financial Services — spanning trading, asset management, and capital markets- Lifelong precious metals investor now bridging vaulted gold with modern digital railsCHAPTERS:00:00 - Gold's Shock 2025 Rally & Peter's Background07:25 - Why Central Banks Are Rebuilding Gold Reserves14:20 - From 60/40 to Gold: Institutional Reallocation20:06 - Gold as the New “Safe Asset” Replacing Treasuries29:45 - Bitcoin vs Gold in 2025: Cycles, Leverage & Liquidity41:48 - Inside Argo: Direct-to-Vault Gold in the Digital Era50:04 - Tokenized Gold vs Direct Vault Ownership & Custody Risks54:40 - Key Takeaways, Where to Learn More & OutroScarce Assets: a biweekly podcast presented by Onramp which delves into the emergent role of bitcoin in finance professionals' strategies and outlooks.

Stu Bradley, CFA, CFP — Wealth Advisor at Hightower St. Louis — joins Scarce Assets to explore how bitcoin fits into modern portfolio design, the illusion of market “cycles,” and why peace of mind matters more than price charts.With decades of experience across HSBC, UBS, Vision Capital, and now Hightower, Stu brings a global investor's perspective on inflation, fiscal dominance, and the future of wealth management in a K-shaped economy.This episode cuts through the hype to reveal how advisors are quietly rethinking sound money, digital assets, and intergenerational planning — all while clients question the meaning of risk, time, and value in a rapidly changing financial system.Stu Bradley on LinkedIn // Hightower Wealth Advisors // Stu's Presentation, Understanding Bitcoin // ⁠Connect with Onramp⁠⁠ // ⁠⁠Onramp Institutional⁠⁠ // ⁠⁠Jackson Mikalic on X⁠WHAT WE COVER:- From HSBC and UBS to Hightower: a career across global markets- How a $20 smoothie became the “wake-up call” on inflation- Why Bitcoin represents optionality, not speculation- Fiscal dominance, QT's end, and the K-shaped economy- The psychological side of wealth: why “peace of mind” beats alpha- How advisors are integrating BTC exposure through ETFs & custodial platforms- The coming wealth transfer and how next-gen clients will reshape the advisory modelKEY INSIGHTS DISCUSSED:- Expectations = suffering — and 2025 proved it- Bitcoin is entering its “IPO moment” as long-term holders distribute- Fiscal dominance and policy inertia make inflation a structural feature, not a bug- The top 10 mega-cap stocks now represent 75% of U.S. GDP — a concentration risk hiding in plain sight- Owning a small allocation of the most tamper-resistant asset in history may be the best form of risk management- The future of advice: meeting clients where they are, not where the market says they should beSTU'S THESIS: “Bitcoin isn't about getting rich — it's about staying solvent. When money itself is changing, optionality becomes the ultimate form of wealth.”WHO IS STU BRADLEY?- Wealth Advisor — Hightower St. Louis (managing $1.6B for 400+ families)- Former Institutional Investor — HSBC, UBS, Vision Capital Advisors- CFA & CFP Charterholder — Bridging traditional finance with digital assets- Career Coach & Educator — Founder, J.

Whether it's a short walk, eating a balanced meal, or just showing up—it's all progress.This is the perfect episode for anyone who's been waiting for the “right time” to start.

Matthew Montgomery, Founder of MAEVLO and veteran of the oil & gas industry, joins Scarce Assets to reveal why energy prices and Bitcoin are destined to rise together — and how his firm is pioneering a fund that turns oil royalties into Bitcoin reserves. This episode connects the dots between America's energy plateau, AI-driven power demand, and Bitcoin's fixed supply, offering one of the clearest frameworks yet for understanding the coming era of scarcity.Connect with Onramp // Onramp Institutional // Jackson Mikalic on X // Matthew Montgomery on X // MAEVLO CompanyWHAT WE COVER:- How the U.S. shale boom turned America into a net energy exporter- Why the era of cheap energy is ending — and what happens next- The surprising parallels between oil extraction and Bitcoin mining- How AI data centers are quietly rewriting global energy demand- Why energy scarcity could be the catalyst for Bitcoin's next bull run- How MAEVLO's fund bridges real-world energy assets with Bitcoin reservesKEY INSIGHTS DISCUSSED:- 80% of oil well production occurs in the first 24 months- LNG exports projected to triple by 2030- Data center demand expected to add +10 BCF/day of natural gas consumption- U.S. has already drilled the best shale wells — the easy energy is gone- Every MAEVLO investor fund now allocates a portion of cash flow to Bitcoin reservesMATTHEW'S THESIS:“We're entering an era where both energy and Bitcoin are getting more scarce. Oil wells deplete, block rewards halve — the same economics drive both. The only rational strategy is to own the hardest assets in the world.”WHO IS MATTHEW MONTGOMERY?- Founder & Managing Director, MAEVLO Company- 20+ year career across shale exploration, mineral rights, and private equity energy funds- Early pioneer integrating Bitcoin into traditional energy investments- Advocates for sound money, hard assets, and family wealth preservationCHAPTERS:00:00 — Intro & Matthew's Background03:00 — The Shale Revolution Explained10:30 — Lessons from Building in Energy17:00 — Parallels Between Shale and Bitcoin20:00 — Inside the Mineral & Royalty Market27:30 — Why Investors Seek Yield and Inflation Hedges33:30 — Oil, Gas, and the Inflation Trade39:00 — Discovering Bitcoin & Sound Money46:00 — “Scarcity Compounded”: Energy Meets Bitcoin57:00 — The Coming Energy Supply Crunch1:03:00 — How MAEVLO Integrates Bitcoin1:08:00 — Preserving Value & Getting Off Zero1:16:00 – Outro & DisclaimerScarce Assets: a biweekly podcast presented by Onramp which delves into the emergent role of bitcoin in finance professionals' strategies and outlooks.
