Nimar Bangash, co-founder and CEO of Obsiido, shares his journey from 15-year Bay Street veteran to entrepreneur building Canada's first technology-enabled private markets investment platform.

Obsiido addresses the growing opportunity gap where institutional investors access high-value private market investments while retail investors remain largely excluded from these opportunities. The company operates two integrated businesses: an investment management arm that creates turnkey private market portfolios (combining private equity, credit, real estate, and infrastructure), and a technology platform that uses AI to streamline the complex, paper-heavy processes in private markets.

Key Discussion Points:

• Why private markets are becoming increasingly important as public market value shifts to institutional-only investments
• How Obsiido's multi-strategy approach simplifies private market access for wealth managers and financial advisors
• Real client examples including partnerships with billion-dollar family offices and growing portfolio management teams
• The technology solutions digitizing workflows for fund managers, dealers, and advisors
• Competitive landscape and unique positioning in the Canadian market
• Entrepreneurial insights on building a regulatory-compliant fintech business

Nimar discusses how Obsiido is working to democratize access to private markets while providing the education, technology, and investment expertise needed to navigate this complex but high-opportunity asset class.
