Samir Kaji

Caesar sits down with Samir Kaji, founder and CEO of Allocate, to discuss how the greatest generational wealth transfer of all time is revolutionizing the world of venture capital investing. 

Samir explains how hyper personalization and data-driven intelligence are factoring into that revolutionary shift. He breaks down how Allocate offers family offices and individual investors access to highly curated private capital funds and direct investment opportunities in a clearly laid-out portfolio that they can pull up at any given time. Samir also explains why he embraced the entrepreneurial path and launched Allocate after decades in banking in Silicon Valley. 

Samir's focus at Allocate is creating opportunities to build wealth. Samir shares how his own family background influences that mission, and the role his father played in developing his business mindset. He advises listeners that startup founders have to be resilient, and that as a founder, you are constantly putting out fires.

He admits to making mistakes early on, but what he learned now informs his work at Allocate.
