Adams Hub investment in financial technology industry startup BaseVenture shows promise

Adams Hub is proud to congratulate BaseVenture on its quick progress and traction in the financial technology (FinTech) industry – as evidenced by BaseVenture’s selection to be a presenter at Finovate Spring 2016.

BaseVenture, an innovative new software as a service (SaaS) platform that is transforming private fund management and administration, counts Adams Hub as one of its early investors, and has an office within the Adams Hub Business Incubator in Carson City.

Brian Sandoval, the Governor of Nevada, said “We believe that Nevada is the next cradle of tech innovation. Adams Hub was created in part to identify and cultivate exciting young technology startups like BaseVenture in our capital city. We believe that smart investments in promising technology companies like BaseVenture will help increase Nevada’s competitive edge as an incubator for the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs.”

BaseVenture will use the Finovate Spring 2016 Conference to unveil the company’s breakthrough cloud-based platform that simplifies and automates the operations and administration for thousands of private funds. Finovate Spring 2016 is a two-day showcase of the latest innovations in financial technology (FinTech) from leading established companies and emerging young startups.

John Pizzi, Co-founder & CEO of BaseVenture said, “We are excited about the traction that we are quickly making in the market, as evidenced by our selection to present at Finovate Spring 2016. Our partnership with the Adams Hub is a competitive advantage, providing us with both an efficient way to grow and scale our operations in Carson City, as well as the platform to expand our business reach into the thousands of private funds, fund administrators, and private banks in the greater Nevada area.”

There are over 50,000 private funds in the USA, spending billions of dollars a year to manage their operations and administrate their funds. The industry is fed up with the current model of outmoded & disconnected technology and inefficient processes. BaseVenture was created by listening carefully to the needs of fund managers, fund administrators, and private banks in order to provide them with the platform they need. BaseVenture’s platform helps them spend less time worrying about their operations, and more time focused on driving growth for their investors.

Private funds are big business in the United States. Money invested in private funds will grow from $10T to $18T by 2020. Private funds or alternatives investments are the fastest growing category of investments, made up largely of real estate, private equity, and hedge funds. The problem is that fund management and administration today relies on inefficient and antiquated technology & processes.

BaseVenture’s platform radically simplifies, interconnects, and automates the middle and back office functions that are required to manage a fund. This eliminates the reliance on multiple disconnected tools like spreadsheets, email, pdfs, and instead provides a SaaS platform that is intelligent, scalable, secure, and affordable.

Miya MacKenzie, Chief Professional Officer at Adams Hub said, “BaseVenture is representative of exactly the type of company that we want to attract to Carson City. We are so gratified with their progress and traction in the market, and we look forward to continuing to help the BaseVenture team to efficiently scale their operations and grow their business in Carson City and the state of Nevada.”
