11: In conversation with… Matthew Hardcastle, DealCloud

Welcome back for another episode of our "In conversation with..."
series, which will periodically bring you more in-depth
interviews with players from various corners of the
industry.



This week's episode is brought to you by DealCloud – a
data-powered platform built specifically for the capital markets,
providing unified deal, relationship, fund and compliance
management solutions.



Matthew Hardcastle joined DealCloud in July as client development
director; but many of our listeners will be more familiar with
him in his previous life as assistant director at Inflexion
Private Equity. Having joined the mid-cap GP in 2014, he worked
on deal sourcing and execution, strategic consulting and
post-deal value creation.



Drawing from his experience at Inflexion and recent work with
DealCloud, Matthew stopped by to discuss how GPs can best
leverage technology to streamline dozens of processes and
ultimately unlock considerable value, how AI-driven data analysis
is closer than we may imagine, the LP demands driving the push
for more tech adoption, and more.



We will be back soon with more episodes in our regular panel
format, so stay tuned by subscribing to the podcast and get
notified of every new episode.
