From Scaling $100M AUM in 100 Days to Reinventing Fund Administration Chris Hladczuk is a maniac on a mission! It all started at Yale, where he was interviewing Emmett Shear and Michael Seibel in his free time—then took that momentum straight to Goldman—but climbing the ranks wasn’t enough. So he made the leap to Meow, where he closed $100M+ in assets in just 100 days—oh, and along the way, he built a personal brand with hundreds of thousands of followers, turning social capital into his ultimate growth engine. Now, with his company Hanover Park, he’s tackling one of the most archaic industries—fund administration—where venture and private equity firms still rely on outdated spreadsheets and siloed systems. They’ve already onboarded over $1B in assets under administration and are scaling rapidly. With his speed, execution, and relentless drive—yeah, I wouldn’t bet against him.

Every VC firm looks at Hanover Park and fears the same thing… “Will my LPs push back on using a fund admin that is less than 20 years old?” Because they love the product. They love the power of AI portfolio management deal document extraction or an AI inbox analyzer. But they fear their LPs. But we’ve seen the opposite reaction. Instead, LPs are saying this: “Why do you invest in AI and the future but your fund admin is stuck in the past?” And LPs love us too:

We're hiring.

"Chris you have the best product by far but I have one concern..." "What if my LPs have never heard of Hanover Park? What should I say?" I talk to GPs and CFOs all day long. And it's the #1 question. Here's the answer: ? SOC 1 and SOC 2 audit reports built for institutional LP requirements ? Proof of a seamless migration of 10+ years of VC firm history ? 0 LPAC related pushback to date -- everyone cares about Audit partner not their investor portal ? Many large institutional LPs have already logged into the platform ? We will do 90 days of shadow reporting alongside your current fund admin to prove we can deliver ? If you aren't happy, we will refund 100% of your money and I'll fly to your office to help migrate you to someone else Whatever it takes, we will do.

Hanover Park team in the office at 9:04 PM on Friday night. Obsessed.

It's a once in a generation technology shift. All aboard.

This is why we exist.

GPs have 0 clue what their finance teams do. So the VP of Finance feels stuck. You can't ask for headcount. You can’t ask for 6-figure SaaS budgets that don’t solve problems. So what do you do? You lean on your fund admin to do more. But you have crazy fund admin turnover. 3 new people in 3 months. And the fund admin only has one weapon: Excel. That's why we built Hanover as a full-service fund admin… not another SaaS tool. And for the same price as a legacy fund admin, you get… ? AI Portfolio Management? ? AI Co-Pilot to query your data ? AI Inbox Analyzer to parse portfolio company updates ? Investor Command Center to centralize all LP activity ? Real-Time Fund Metrics to build remaining to deploy models You don’t need more people or SaaS spend. You just get 10x more for the same price.

Whatever it takes.
