Building Hanover Park - the AI-native fund admin.

Chris Hladczuk

We raised a $27M Series A to replace the spreadsheets and human duct tape behind $100 trillion in global assets.

Fund administration is the invisible backbone of private equity and venture capital - and it’s broken.

Why?

Financial data is scattered, stale, and locked inside legacy providers. Books take forever to close. Basic questions about your own fund take days to answer.

So we rebuilt the general ledger, waterfall engine, investor portal, and portfolio management from scratch. 

One single source of truth for your firm.

Our AI agents read emails, propose journal entries, and extract portfolio updates in seconds. Our CPAs review every output.

Today, we administer $15 billion in assets - and we’re just getting started.

Every fund CFO keeps getting asked: how will you adopt AI?

Now you have an answer.

Run your firm in real-time with Hanover Park. 

–
Excited to partner with Jake Saper at Emergence Capital, Peter Hebert at Lux Capital, Chad Byers/Pratyush Buddiga at Susa Ventures and CFOs at the largest private equity firms to forge this future.

Hanover Park is launching the first MCP server for our industry. MCP = API for AI.

Soon CFOs and investment teams won’t need to log in to query their portfolio, fund and LP data.

It’s just instantly accessible via ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.

And incredibly powerful given we act as fund admin with full context on your firm. 

More on this soon!

I’m happy to share that I’ve been promoted to Senior Associate at Hanover Park!

Proud to partner with Outcast at Hanover Park!

Co-founder @ Outcast Ventures |  a new talent-first VC

Announcing Catalyst - a program for top 1% builders to meet their co-founder.

Everyone says team matters, but...

...instead of waiting for the right fit, they settle for the wrong co-founder.

That's why we're launching Catalyst as part of Outcast Ventures.

Over the past two decades I’ve worked with founders as a recruiter, operator, and investor. I recruited engineers and executives at Riviera Partners, launched the KPCB Fellows Program at Kleiner Perkins, and was a General Partner at Coatue.

Across those experiences one pattern kept showing up: great companies start with great people. But great people don’t always find the right co-founders. Company formation is still largely left to chance as most founders pick someone they already know, such as a coworker, a classmate, or a friend. 

But when Amy Lin and I studied nearly 350 billion-dollar U.S. tech exits, we found something surprising. 

Founders who had not worked together built companies with 21% higher exits than founders who had. 

...meaning the best co-founder is often someone you haven’t worked with before (!).

That’s why we built Catalyst to re-think how co-founders meet.

Here's how it works:

💰️ We invest $500K
💻️ 60 founders (half technical, half non-technical)
☀️ 2 months
🤖 $1M+ cloud & compute credits

...all in-person in San Francisco.

The founders work side by side and decide deliberately whether to start a company together.

In many ways Amy and I are also proof of the thesis. We didn’t work together or go to school together. Our networks connected us, and now we’re building Outcast Ventures together.

The next generation of iconic companies will come from the intentional combinations of 1% builders.

Catalyst is where those companies start.
