Obviously, when you were at Aries, you had a lot of infrastructure behind you and a lot of support.

What did you underestimate in terms of what you would have to do in order to build your own franchise?

Using an analogy, you went from being a player to a coach or a manager of a team.

What are some of the skills that you had to gain in order to become a great manager over the last 11, 12 years?

As you've grown Corbell, you've kind of become a victim of your own success from a capital raising standpoint.

Talk to me about the journey of building your capital base from 2014 to today.

One of the hardest things of investing is seeing what's shifting before everyone else does.

For decades, only the largest hedge funds could afford extensive channel research programs to spot inflection points before earnings and to stay ahead of consensus.

Meanwhile, smaller funds have been forced to cobble together ad hoc channel intelligence or rely on stale reports from sell-side shops.

But channel checks are no longer a luxury.

They're becoming table stakes for the industry.

The challenges have always been scale, speed, and consistency.

That's where AlphaSense comes in.

AlphaSense is redefining channel research.

Instead of static point-in-time reports, AlphaSense channel checks delivers a continuously refreshed view of demand, pricing, and competitive dynamics powered by interviews with real operators, suppliers, distributors, and channel partners across the value chain.

Thousands of consistent channel conversations every month deliver clean, comparable signals, helping investors spot inflection points weeks before they show up in earnings or consensus estimates.

The best part?

These proprietary channel checks integrate directly into AlphaSense's research platform, trusted by 75% of the world's top hedge funds, with access to over 500 million premium sources, from company filings and brokerage research to news, trade journals, and more than 240,000 expert call transcripts.

That context turns raw signal into conviction.

The first to see wins, the rest follow.
