This collaboration brings together Flow's cutting-edge technology solutions with Apex Group's extensive industry expertise to streamline fund operations and enhance the investor experience.

The private markets ecosystem is becoming increasingly complex, requiring fund operators to navigate a web of disparate and complicated networks that cause barriers throughout the fund lifecycle.

"Our partnership with Apex Group and its global single-source solution further accelerates these networks by seamlessly integrating our open architecture with its services. Removing that friction unlocks private market strategies and accelerates connecting capital to ideas."

Flow's Investor Lifecycle Management Platform is designed to enable fund managers throughout the entire lifecycle of a fund, from data rooms to distributions. Core offerings within the platform include investor onboarding, investor portal, data room, capital call management and investor reporting, each with a robust set of features that enable fund managers to optimize the investor experience. This approach aligns with Apex Group's service offering as the single-source solution for all fund administration and related needs. This strategic partnership combines best-in-class investor management software and services that will drive cost savings for clients, while delivering an unmatched investor experience.

"Our partnership with Flow unlocks significant efficiencies for both companies that ultimately benefit the end investor and the venture capital markets, overall," says Georges Archibald, Chief Innovation Officer & Regional Managing Director, Americas at Apex Group.
