Tell us about Delio
Delio is mercantilization The workflow technologies that companies need to administer the distribution and reports of private markets. Our B2B and not conflicated positioning focuses on transforming how financial companies through the class of assets, geography and investors provide their customers access to private markets in a personalized way to their individual requirements.

We can also modularize technology to adapt to private cases in a more key base, which is the essence of recently launch of Delio Core Lite. This solution will lay the bases for an ecosystem of private markets more connected with the next launch of Delioconnect, a decentralized infrastructure designed to boost greater efficiencies to share opportunities and data among financial companies.
How did the idea occur to Delio?
At the beginning of Delio almost ten years ago, we saw firsthand how companies were forced to trust fragmented and manual processes when we seek to do more in private markets. Current market offers were delayed in terms of innovation, compared to what was happening in other places. In line with this, there was a true lack of “pipes and plumber”, however, the industry’s growth trajectory was clear to us. That is what caused the idea of Delio and led us to look for the digital infrastructure missing private markets. We set out to create a business that not only helps companies improve the final experience of the client, but also unlock new commercial opportunities by allowing them to connect, collaborate and climb their private market sacrifice.
What is your advice for aspiring entrepreneurs?
Delio started from the beginning very humble, we had very few resources and a network to coincide, however, our biggest tool was our determination and determination. With 25/26, nothing could have prepared for the turbulence I experienced, you listen to stories about how difficult a business can be until experience has lived that is not an abstract concept compared.
My advice: resolve the fact that it will be a long trip with vertiginous ups and downs. Whenever investigate and remain committed to its central objectives, things will be level. The most important thing, take care of yourself: your best performance begins with your well -being. Remember, Rome was not built in one day and Neether is a successful business.
What excites you more delio?
Only the large number of opportunities in the space in which we are operating. There are many routes that we can take for the growth that Althegh can sometimes be a blessing and a curse, although it is exciting, since decisions are shocking and make a difference. Delio is approaching a decade founded Bee, and although I have probably had more conviction in the business than ever, given the way the industry is developing. There is certainly a lot to keep me going!
How has the company evolved in recent years?
Delio was founded in 2015 with the purpose of giving financial institutions the tools that allow the issue to build their private market propositions in a way that works for them, with an focus on digital experience, scale and compliance. We have remained faithful to our roots within a market full of comings and goings, which has allowed us to offer a wide range of cases and really maintain the rhythm to which the industry is evolving.
Certainly, there are many changes in the leg over the years and we have done everything possible to adapt and continue building, quickly reacting to the individual demands of customers, while it does more to add value in the amplitude of our client base. If I had to choose an aspect of delio that has evolved the most, I would say it is the product. It is a good balance when sitting at the intersection of multiple customers and being focused on B2B, but I am really proud of how far the product has come in recent times and is really paying dividends in conversations and partners. I think the team has really intelligent in the way we think about building a product that is flexible.
What can we expect to see from Delio in the future?
There is a lot to come, I feel! The industry seems to really buy the need to improve the workflow, raise inherited systems and make more to improve the customer experience, which is where we play really well. We have some excellent projects in some family names in which we expect more in due time, while our vision of being the plumbing that connects the ecosystem is true now more than ever, so I hope you do it.
