About Us

Built for Allocators. Driven by Experience, Aligned by Design.

At Thirdpath, we bring together decades of private markets experience across investing, operations, and strategy. We’ve sat on both sides of the table—and we built this firm to deliver the kind of partnership we always wished existed.
Meet the Team
We built Thirdpath to challenge the status quo in private markets—by putting alignment, access, and execution first.

At Thirdpath, our mission is simple: We exist to help allocators build outperforming private markets portfolios—through tailored solutions, aligned economics, and true partnership. We believe the future of private investing belongs to those who value clarity over complexity, depth over scale, and alignment over legacy structures.

Our team brings together decades of institutional and entrepreneurial experience. We’ve sat in the allocator seat, led investment committees, scaled emerging managers, and built the operational infrastructure behind high-performing platforms. As an employee-owned firm, we’re structured to prioritize agility, shared ownership, and client-first thinking—free from the hierarchy and misaligned incentives of traditional asset managers.

We’re not a fund factory—and we’re not consultants. We’re operators, builders, and investors who roll up our sleeves. From custom SMAs and GP stakes to reporting systems and liquidity planning, we create solutions designed around each client’s specific goals. That’s what makes us different: we don’t sell products—we build partnerships.
