In this episode of #TheLAB, Scott Estill and Nick Creasey sit down with Rob Heyvaert, Founder and Managing Partner at Motive Partners.

Rob shares the arc of his career, from engineering the algorithm that powered the Euro’s clearing and settlement system, to building and scaling CAPCO, to founding Motive Partners, and the philosophy behind his firm’s success: combining investors, operators, and innovators to drive alpha in fintech.

They discuss:

• How deep operational experience differentiates investors in financial technology.
• Why WealthTech, particularly in private market infrastructure, is ripe for disruption.
• The concept of a “frictionless network” connecting private markets, and why wealth advisors, investors, and entrepreneurs alike aren’t ready for the shift ahead.
• Rob’s take on staying curious, the future of AI in financial services, and the discipline of knowing when not to act first.
