Welcome to episode #206 of Stock Club, presented by MyWallSt.

In today’s episode, we delve deep into the world of private market investments with Scott Ashmore and Rob Halligan, co-founders of PitchedIt. 

The discussion opens with an overview of the untapped potential within private equity, real estate, and private credit, revealing how these assets can diversify portfolios and potentially lead to substantial returns.

The conversation then transitions to an exploration of different stages of startup funding—from pre-seed to IPO—offering listeners a rare glimpse into the early and growth stages of startup development.

We explore the transformative impact of technology on investing, emphasising how platforms like PitchdIt are making private market investments accessible to a broader audience, thereby democratising a previously exclusive sector.

We also touch on the strategic advantages of investing in emerging markets and sectors such as AI and healthcare, dissecting the trends and opportunities that lie ahead.
