Dakota Live! Podcast: Seeding the Next Generation of Private Market GPs with New Catalyst Strategic Partners

In this episode of the Dakota Live! Podcast, host Robert Morier sits down with Demetrius Sidberry, Managing Director at New Catalyst Strategic Partners, to explore the transformative role GP seeding and strategic capital are playing in shaping the future of private markets.

From early-stage seeding opportunities to structured partnerships and growth capital, Demetrius walks us through the increasingly institutionalized world of GP staking and how his team is catalyzing success for fund managers launching their first through fifth funds.

The conversation dives into the rise of pre-consensus investing, the nuances of underwriting next-gen managers, and why building institutional-quality businesses—not just portfolios—is essential for long-term value creation.

With the backing of Apollo and a team built from some of the industry's most respected platforms, New Catalyst is helping emerging GPs scale with purpose, equity, and vision.

If you're curious about what it takes to stand up a new private equity firm, attract strategic capital, or differentiate your strategy in a competitive market, this episode offers the blueprint.
