Motive Partners

We’re excited to share that Motive Partners was featured in PE Hub on the outlook for the Fintech sector, industry headwinds and tailwinds, and trends driving deals in a space too big to ignore. A powerful force shaping the future, our Founder and Managing Partner Rob Heyvaert outlined, “As both a vertical and horizontal sector, fintech spend is growing within every industry around the world. We believe that the growing impact of AI is only going to advance this secular trend. While financial institutions are focused on reducing costs as interest rates decline, we believe this will lead to technology outsourcing, digitization and other way of reducing systemic cost structures, which is a great opportunity for Fintech – and our portfolio of specialty companies.” Learn more on why we believe that through the combination of Motive’s technology and engineering DNA and our proprietary Investor, Operator, Innovator model, we’re well-positioned with our hands-on value creation approach to capitalize on the AI opportunity in Fintech. https://lnkd.in/egXMgwdw #Fintech #AI #Innovation #PrivateEquity #IOI #ValueCreation #FinancialServices

At Motive Partners, our mission is to deliver superior value creation. ?

Following the culmination of the past 12 months of hard work, discipline and operational excellence, I want to express a heartfelt ‘Thank You’ to everyone in our Motive Partners family, including our teams across our portfolio of specialty companies. ? I also want to take this moment to share our deep gratitude for our Limited Partners, who continue to support our proprietary and differentiated private equity IOI model and our deep conviction in the compelling secular trend and opportunity in Fintech. ? An extra special ‘Thank You’ to Sarah Bird, Responsible AI pioneer at Microsoft for a thought-provoking conversation on the importance of ethics, governance and regulation in the exciting and rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence. ? For those that were unable to join us for the insightful and immersive experience, there are 3 key takeaways from our meeting that I’d like to share: ? ?? Fintech is a powerful force shaping our future and continues to hold all the promise we predicted it would years ago. ?? The growing impact of AI is huge and is projected to advance the secular trend in Fintech – and Motive’s technology and engineering DNA makes AI a gift for our “hands-on” capabilities and value creation approach. ?? We believe our world class team of Investors, Operators and Innovators, through our proprietary model, is proving to be a formidable asset by allowing us to navigate diverse economic conditions to optimize the scarcity value across our portfolio companies. ? We invite you to experience a few highlights from our Annual General Meeting to get a sense of why we, at Motive Partners, hold deep conviction about the opportunity before us, optimism for the future and confidence in our team. #privateequity #fintech #wealthtech #IOI #valuecreation #innovation #AI

We are excited to announce that Motive Partners, in partnership with Apollo Global Management, Inc., led a $20 million Series A investment in Vega, a Motive Ventures portfolio company, to scale its alternative asset manager client service technology platform. This milestone achievement is evidence of the Motive Partners proprietary Investor, Operator, Innovator model at its best. Ramin Niroumand, Partner at Motive Ventures: “As an early-stage backer of Vega, and our extensive portfolio of WealthTech assets in Motive, we saw the need for a GP AltOS platform to help accelerate the alternatives distribution flywheel.
