In Episode 19 of the Dakota Research Podcast, we explore why Europe is becoming a strategic destination for private market investors. Amid fragmented markets and favorable valuations, institutional capital is surging into sectors like energy transition, defense, and digital infrastructure. We break down the policy tailwinds—including the EU Green Deal, industrial reshoring, and defense modernization—driving this momentum.

From hydrogen and battery storage to dual-use AI and semiconductors, Europe’s capital formation is accelerating. We also cover M&A, private credit growth, and fund launches from firms like EQT, Ardian, CVC, Partners Group, and Ares. With geopolitical shifts and new regulatory frameworks at play, LPs are deploying capital across borders to capture long-term value.

Whether you’re tracking real assets, tech innovation, or sustainability-linked strategies, this episode highlights the megatrends—and inefficiencies—shaping Europe’s private market landscape in 2025.

In this episode of the Dakota Research Interview Series, Chris LeRoy and Alex DeMarco sit down with Doug Clinton, Co-Founder and General Partner at Deepwater Asset Management. Known for backing “alien” founders and betting early on paradigm-shifting technologies, Doug shares how Deepwater’s unique venture model bridges public equity discipline with early-stage conviction.

From AI-powered infrastructure like PayMon to performance-enhancing health tech and the promise of humanoid robotics, Doug outlines how Deepwater “profits from where the world is going.” He also explains why being based in Minnesota gives the firm a competitive edge—tapping into Fortune 500 access while avoiding coastal VC herd mentality.

This conversation is a deep dive into how Deepwater is building a differentiated platform for identifying the next generation of transformational companies—and why optimism, speed, and non-consensus thinking are essential traits for venture success.

In Episode 18 of the Dakota Research Podcast, we explore the fast-evolving world of cybersecurity—a $10 trillion risk vector transforming from IT concern to boardroom mandate. With cybercrime costs projected to skyrocket, we examine key subsectors (cloud, identity, endpoint, data security), explore the role of AI in both defense and attack, and highlight consolidation trends and record-breaking M&A.

We profile the largest public cybersecurity players—Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, Fortinet, Zscaler, and Okta—and review blockbuster deals like Google’s $32B acquisition of Wiz and Cisco’s $28B purchase of Splunk. We also spotlight top VC and PE investors (Thoma Bravo, Vista, Sequoia, Ten Eleven Ventures) and emerging startups poised for IPO or acquisition.

If you're tracking the future of digital risk, regulation, and platform integration, this episode breaks down where cybersecurity capital is flowing—and why.
