Palico is the leading online marketplace for the private equity fund community, matching qualified investors with fund managers and secondary market participants worldwide.
Palico's secure digital platform represents a quantum leap forward in efficiency and transparency in the private equity market.
Palico was formed by Antoine Dréan, a private equity pioneer and veteran. “After 20 years working in private equity, it was clear to me that the industry needed to enter the digital era,” says Dréan. “The market was opaque and inefficient, and the web was bound to change that eventually, as it has so many other inefficient markets. I wanted to be on the forefront of that change.”
Since establishing itself as a fintech pioneer in 2012, over 4,000 LPs, GPs, and placement agents in more than 100 countries have joined Palico.
