Brad Jacobs - Think Big and Move Fast - [Invest Like the Best, REPLAY]

I know firsthand how complex the tech stack is for asset management firms. And seemingly every new tool and data source makes the problem even worse, adding more complexity, more headcount, and more risk. Ridge line offers a better way forward, one unified platform that automates away the complexity across portfolio accounting. Reconciliation, reporting, trading, compliance, and more, all at scale. Ridge line is revolutionizing investment management, helping ambitious firms scale faster.

This week I spent some time with Brad Jacobs and was reminded how excellent an operator he is, to say nothing of how great a human being he is. So we are replaying this hugely popular episode. He's on to his next big endeavor, QXO, which we allude to in this conversation. This is one that I'll study for years to come. Please enjoy.
