Past Work

See our Expertise in Action

In partnership with the Knight Foundation, we produced a series of groundbreaking reports that quantified the representation and performance of diverse managers in the U.S. asset management industry. Cited in countless media reports and other academic articles, this body of work provided the first ever comprehensive benchmark for diversity in the U.S. asset management industry. Read more here.
Knight Foundation Representation Study
Since 2020, we have worked with the Association of Asian American Investment Managers on a series of research initiatives aimed at quantifying the representation and performance of AAPI managers in the U.S. asset management industry. The reports’ findings have been published in numerous outlets, and the most recent can be found here.
AAAIM Manager Performance Studies
We closely mapped the evolution of VC investment activity in low-earth orbit, with a special focus on interactions involving the International Space Station. Based on extensive research and interviews, the final report described historical activity and recent changes, noting the activity of privately funded work in nano- and micro-satellites, non-government launch vehicles, and launch concierge services. The final report is included in a NASA publication.
NASA-Published Economic Development Report
We worked with Victoria, Australia’s startup agency, LaunchVic, to structure a public-private investment fund to encourage the development of an entrepreneurial ecosystem. Based on extensive on-the-ground and secondary research, our recommendations balanced the program's need for financial sustainability with the goal of activating significant risk capital for early-stage ventures. Read more here.
Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Development
We worked with a government agency tasked with improving the innovation ecosystem within the nation by improving the pipeline of entrepreneurial businesses and attracting both domestic and foreign capital to fund these initiatives. Backed by academic insights and custom research, we prepared a detailed series of policy recommendations for structuring various public/private initiatives to catalyze innovation and mobilize private capital.
National Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Capital Mobilization
We have worked with a number of entrepreneurs to assist in valuing their businesses using a mix of market- and cash flow-based methods; considering financing options from different types of capital providers; providing guidance throughout the deal structuring process; and supporting entrepreneurs as they grow their businesses against the backdrop of increasingly complex private capital markets.
Business Valuation for Entrepreneurs
We worked with a government-funded financial education authority to develop and host a multi-day, in-person educational conference for senior policymakers and investors active in private markets. Topics included an overview of the current private capital landscape, best practices in manager and deal evaluation, exit routes and liquidity mechanisms, and the potential impacts of recent innovations in private markets.
Multi-Day Private Markets Conference
We evaluated the performance of a development finance institution's investments in pre-frontier market VC funds and offered specific recommendations on how to enhance the program moving forward. We conducted over 80 interviews of fund managers, portfolio company managers, government officials, bankers, and other subject matter experts to supplement the sparse data and provide a detailed snapshot of the impact of each fund.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions about Services for Market Participants

Public institutions decide their private market allocation by balancing economic policy goals, expected returns, and risk tolerance. They use scenario modeling, market analysis, and impact assessments to ensure investments align with both public mandates and long-term financial sustainability.

Regulatory bodies set the rules that guide how capital flows into different sectors, ensuring transparency, investor protection, and alignment with national priorities. Clear, stable regulations can encourage private investment into strategic industries.

Development finance institutions attract private capital by offering guarantees, co-investment opportunities, and risk-sharing structures. These tools make investments in areas like infrastructure or clean energy more appealing to private investors.

They measure impact by tracking key outcomes such as job creation, infrastructure improvements, and GDP growth, alongside traditional financial returns. Many use both quantitative metrics and qualitative community feedback for a complete picture.

Public institutions can adapt by running stress tests, reviewing sector allocations, and benchmarking against global best practices. Flexible governance and diversified investments help them respond quickly to shifts in the global economy.
