Private Capital Call · 2026-04-23 · 28 min
This week, we’re pleased to welcome Ryan Eisenman , co-founder and CEO of Arch , the leading operating system for private markets. Arch helps investors and advisors manage private credit, private equity, hedge funds, and real estate in one place, modernizing a historically manual, portal-by-portal experience. With more than seven years leading the firm, Ryan brings a practical perspective on where private markets are headed and how technology can help. In the conversation, Ryan breaks down how the private investment workflow has evolved since Arch launched, why the “buying and owning” experience is still far more complex than in public markets, and where the industry needs more standardization and transparency. We also discuss how AI is starting to improve diligence and reporting-especially by summarizing investor letters and pulling key terms from dense documents-so investors can spend less time on rote tasks and more time on analysis. Ryan closes with lessons from building Arch, early challenges winning institutional trust, and advice for young entrepreneurs.
