AI, blockchain, and alternative assets are reshaping the foundation of financial services. But beneath the buzzwords are real shifts LPs and GPs must navigate with clarity. On this episode of the Allocate Podcast, Samir Kaji speaks with Matt Harris, Partner at Bain Capital Ventures (BCV), about how fintech has evolved — from digitizing analog workflows to embedded finance and decentralized infrastructure. They explore the promise and limitations of tokenization in wealth management, what needs to happen before on-chain adoption can scale, and why evergreen fund models are drawing renewed interest from institutions. Matthew also reflects on venture cycles, AI’s pace of adoption relative to past tech waves, and the importance of founder quality — particularly in periods of volatility. For limited partner investors and fund managers re-evaluating models and access, this conversation offers grounded insights from a veteran investor who’s seen multiple market cycles. 🎧 Listen to the full episode at https://lnkd.in/gcU6u8Ze
