42: $4B Family Office Co-Founder Khaled Said on Entrepreneurship | Why Story Is a Differentiator | How Collaboration, Creativity, and Courage Are Key to Serving Clients Well
The second generation in wealthy families could choose a safe path within the family business. But today's guest, Khaled Said, dared to pave his own way, co-founding Capital Generation Partners, a $4B London-based family office.
While his choice to take the leap paid off, he didn’t gain success overnight. His backstory is filled with twists and turns and valuable lessons for any boutique founder.
Listen in as Khaled and Stacy discuss:
● His backstory — from searching for the perfect-fit firm to manage his family’s assets in Europe to coming up short and filling the gap by setting up his own shop
● What nobody tells you about the slow burn of starting up in asset management
● His tried-and-true litmus test for keeping integrity at the forefront of client service at CapGen
● CapGen’s differentiation playbook: how they’re writing a new narrative in serving ultra-high net worth families
