ROYC and G Squared Announce Strategic Technology Partnership to Enhance Investor Experience in Europe
In a landmark collaboration, ROYC, the world’s leading Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) provider for alternative investments, and G Squared, a prominent U.S.-based venture capital firm specializing in category-defining technology companies, have announced a strategic partnership. Under this agreement, ROYC will serve as G Squared’s dedicated technology and infrastructure partner in Europe, enabling the firm to expand its footprint and deliver a seamless investor experience tailored to the region’s unique regulatory and operational requirements.
This partnership highlights both organizations’ shared commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to elevate the standards of alternative investment management. ROYC’s innovative platform will provide G Squared with a fully digital, modular solution designed to streamline processes such as investor onboarding, transaction execution, and portfolio management. By integrating these capabilities, G Squared will be better positioned to navigate the complexities of European markets while maintaining its reputation for excellence in delivering value to investors.
A Shared Vision for Technology-Driven Innovation
At the heart of this collaboration is a mutual belief that technology serves as the foundation for delivering exceptional investor experiences. For G Squared, partnering with ROYC represents an opportunity to align with a firm that shares its forward-thinking approach and dedication to innovation. ROYC’s expertise in building scalable, efficient, and compliant platforms makes it an ideal partner to support G Squared’s growth ambitions in Europe.
Octavian Popescu, CEO of ROYC, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating: “We are thrilled to collaborate with G Squared—a firm whose innovative DNA and long-term vision resonate deeply with our own values. Their commitment to investing in transformative technology companies aligns perfectly with our mission to empower the alternative investment ecosystem through best-in-class technology. We are proud to provide the infrastructure that will enable G Squared to scale their operations and deliver unparalleled value to European investors.”

This partnership marks a significant step in expanding our investment strategies to a broader audience across Europe. With ROYC’s platform, we can ensure scalability, operational efficiency, and a superior investor experience—hallmarks of our approach to investing.”
Tailored Solutions for European Markets
One of the key advantages of ROYC’s platform is its ability to adapt to the specific needs of different regions. In Europe, where regulatory frameworks and investor expectations vary significantly across countries, having a flexible and modular solution is crucial. ROYC’s platform addresses these challenges by offering tools that simplify compliance, enhance transparency, and improve operational workflows.
For G Squared, this means gaining access to a robust infrastructure that supports every stage of the investment lifecycle. From initial investor onboarding to ongoing portfolio management, ROYC’s platform ensures that processes are not only efficient but also aligned with local regulations. This level of customization allows G Squared to focus on what it does best—identifying and nurturing high-growth technology companies—while leaving the technological heavy lifting to ROYC.
Strengthening Investor Engagement and Trust
In today’s competitive investment landscape, delivering a superior investor experience is more important than ever. Investors expect transparency, ease of use, and timely access to information, all of which are critical components of building trust and fostering long-term relationships. By adopting ROYC’s platform, G Squared is taking a proactive approach to meeting these expectations.
The platform’s digital-first design eliminates many of the pain points traditionally associated with alternative investments, such as cumbersome paperwork, lengthy processing times, and limited visibility into portfolio performance. Instead, investors benefit from a streamlined, user-friendly interface that provides real-time insights and empowers them to make informed decisions. This shift toward digitization not only enhances the overall investor experience but also positions G Squared as a leader in adopting modern solutions to address evolving market demands.
Driving Growth Through Collaboration
For G Squared, this partnership represents more than just an expansion into European markets—it signifies a strategic move to future-proof its operations and stay ahead of industry trends. As the global investment landscape becomes increasingly complex, firms must embrace technology to remain competitive. By teaming up with ROYC, G Squared gains access to a proven platform that combines innovation, reliability, and scalability, ensuring that it can meet the needs of its growing investor base.
Similarly, for ROYC, collaborating with a prestigious firm like G Squared reinforces its position as a trusted partner for alternative investment managers worldwide.
