Triton

Conor Smyth, Founder: Conor founded TritonLake in 2015 with a vision for bringing together alternative investment opportunities and ultra-high-net-worth investors.

His entrepreneurial journey began with identifying fundamental inefficiencies in how private capital markets operated, particularly the disconnect between outstanding investment opportunities and qualified investors who would benefit from access to them.

Conor's leadership has been instrumental in building TritonLake's technology-first approach while maintaining the relationship focus that remains essential in alternative investments.

He is a regular contributor to industry discussions and hosts the TritonLake Perform podcast exploring connections between elite sport and high-performing business.

Jeff Willems: Jeff brings over 20 years of experience in financial services, including more than 10 years specifically in fintech.

He started his career in various relationship and operations roles before transitioning into the technology-driven side of financial services, making him ideally suited for TritonLake's hybrid model combining sophisticated technology with traditional capital markets expertise.

The TritonLake team combines deep experience in alternative investments, capital markets, and technology development, creating a unique blend of skills necessary to bridge traditional finance with innovative fintech solutions.

TritonLake was founded in 2015 with a mission to address fundamental inefficiencies in the alternative investments ecosystem.

The firm recognized that both fund sponsors and institutional investors were struggling with information overload and mismatched connections in an increasingly complex private capital landscape.

By combining advanced technology with deep industry expertise, TritonLake created a platform that intelligently connects alternative investment opportunities with the right investors across the globe.

At the core of TritonLake's offering is its proprietary multi-factor recommendation model powered by leading-edge machine learning technology.

This sophisticated system analyzes vast amounts of data to match investment opportunities with investor preferences, enabling both sides of the market to cut through noise and focus only on the highest-potential connections.

The platform serves three distinct constituencies: institutional investors seeking efficient opportunity sourcing, fund and deal sponsors looking for targeted capital raising, and placement agents collaborating through the innovative TritonLake Matrix.

TritonLake's approach represents a fundamental rethinking of how capital raising and allocation works in alternative investments.

Rather than relying on traditional relationship-driven models alone, the firm leverages behavioral science alongside its technology platform to create more efficient, data-driven connections.

This combination of sophisticated algorithms, industry knowledge, and human expertise positions TritonLake as one of the leading placement agents innovating at the intersection of financial services and technology.

TritonLake serves the alternative investments ecosystem through three specialized service lines, each designed to address specific market needs:

For Investors: The platform provides sophisticated investment origination capabilities that enable institutional investors, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals to discover relevant opportunities across private equity, venture capital, real estate, and other alternative asset classes.

Using TritonLake's proprietary multi-factor recommendation model, investors receive curated deal flow that matches their specific investment criteria, geographic preferences, and portfolio objectives.

This intelligent filtering system allows investors to devote their time only to opportunities with the highest potential fit, dramatically improving efficiency in the sourcing process.

For Sponsors: Fund managers and deal sponsors gain access to TritonLake's extensive global investor network with targeted, data-driven exposure.

The platform's machine learning technology identifies the most relevant potential investors for each opportunity, streamlining the capital raising process and improving hit rates.

Sponsors benefit from focused outreach to qualified investors who are genuinely interested in their strategy, sector focus, and investment approach, rather than casting a wide net with limited results.

TritonLake Matrix for Placement Agents: Perhaps most innovative is TritonLake Matrix, a unique platform specifically designed to enable collaboration among placement agents.

This system intelligently connects placement agents across the globe, facilitating the sharing of opportunities and expanding each agent's reach beyond their traditional network.

By enabling agents to work together more effectively, Matrix amplifies placement fee revenue while providing sponsors with broader distribution and investors with more comprehensive coverage of the market.

All securities transactions are effected through INTE Securities LLC, a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA/SIPC.

In the UK, TritonLake works with Delio Ltd, which is authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

TritonLake operates with a transatlantic presence designed to serve the global alternative investments market.

The firm maintains offices in two key financial centers:

Dublin, Ireland (Headquarters): Pembroke House, 28-32 Upper Pembroke Street, Dublin 2, Ireland.

This location serves as the company's European hub and principal office, positioning TritonLake at the heart of Ireland's growing fintech and financial services ecosystem.

New York, New York: 590 Madison Avenue, 21st Floor, New York, NY 10022.

The Manhattan office provides critical access to the deep US institutional investor market and the concentration of alternative investment managers based in North America.

This dual-office structure reflects TritonLake's commitment to serving clients across time zones and providing comprehensive coverage of both the European and North American alternative investments markets, which together represent the majority of global private capital activity.

TritonLake operates within a comprehensive regulatory framework designed to ensure compliance across multiple jurisdictions.

All securities transactions in the United States are effected through INTE Securities LLC, a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) and SIPC (Securities Investor Protection Corporation).

This partnership ensures that TritonLake's US operations meet all regulatory requirements for broker-dealer activities.

In the United Kingdom and European markets, TritonLake has engaged Delio Ltd (company registration number 09092423, a company registered in England and Wales) to undertake regulatory activities including making arrangements with a view to transactions in investments.

Delio is authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA registration number: 773662) and holds permissions to bring about deals in investments and make arrangements with a view to transactions in investments in the United Kingdom.

This dual regulatory structure allows TritonLake to serve clients on both sides of the Atlantic while maintaining full compliance with securities regulations in each jurisdiction.

TritonLake's competitive advantage lies in its sophisticated technology infrastructure built on machine learning and behavioral science principles.

The firm's proprietary multi-factor recommendation model analyzes numerous variables including investment preferences, historical allocation patterns, geographic focus, sector expertise, check size, and timing to create intelligent matches between opportunities and investors.

The platform's machine-learning algorithms continuously refine their recommendations based on user interactions, feedback, and transaction outcomes, improving match quality over time.

This adaptive system learns from the behavior of both investors and sponsors on the platform, identifying patterns that lead to successful connections and capital commitments.

Beyond pure algorithmic matching, TritonLake incorporates behavioral science insights to understand how investors make decisions and what factors drive engagement with new opportunities.

This human-centered approach to technology design ensures that the platform doesn't just make logical matches on paper, but creates connections that are likely to result in real relationships and transactions.

The TritonLake Matrix platform extends this technological sophistication to the placement agent community, using similar matching algorithms to identify which agents might collaborate most effectively on specific opportunities based on their complementary networks and expertise.
