Topic: Next-Gen Private Equity: The Shift to Tokenized, Customizable Capital
Speaker: Prof. Kurt Heilhacker (General Partner at Elementum Ventures)
Today, private capital is anchored in traditional venture capital and private equity models, limiting investors to rigid classes of common or preferred stock. But a massive structural shift is underway: the future of finance is programmable. This masterclass explores the emerging transition toward tokenized capital enabled by blockchain technology. We will unpack how the static cap table is evolving into digital assets , where specific rights, obligations, and participation are embedded directly into the code. Learn how to navigate a landscape where investors move beyond conventional shares to leverage fractional, highly customizable forms of transparent ownership.
