Anmol Goel on Building a $1B Family Office in Public and Putting AI to Work Behind It

Anmol Goel, CEO and Managing Partner of GACS Family Office, joins The Agentic Allocator for a practical conversation about AI adoption inside a family office. GACS invests over $1 billion across venture, private equity and private credit from London and India, and Anmol runs it in public, speaking at conferences and building a personal profile in a historically discrete community.

Anmol walks through how GACS is using AI within the investment office: a tech due diligence tool trained on the firm’s own past investment memos that has taken analysis from two months down to 2-3 weeks, an internal database that cross compares deals and surfaces unique portfolio connections, and a personal knowledge base built from roughly 10,000 contacts, past conversations and notes that he queries whenever a founder needs an introduction.

He is equally direct about the challenges and what has gone wrong. Team members have put sensitive documents into public tools. Work has gone out without being checked. He is clear that they are still working through where the AI privacy line sits, and that the answer will be different for every family. For an industry where most AI conversations only cover the wins, it is an important reality check.

What You'll Learn:

• How he his family comfortable with a public profile in an industry built on discretion
• How GACS built a tech due diligence tool on its own past investment memos, and why analysis went from two months to 2-3 weeks
• What happened when a new pitch deck went into the system and it surfaced a link to an existing portfolio company nobody had spotted
• How a personal knowledge base of roughly 10,000 contacts answers questions like which fintech regulators do I know
• The two adoption challenges he has lived through
• Why he thinks an extra 30 to 60 seconds on a prompt removes most of the hallucination problem
• Why he worries the next generation will lose the knowledge of knowhow, and what first principles have to do with AI
• What AI adoption looks like across the 30 to 35 family offices he co invests with, and why the split is generational rather than by size
• His starting point for families: repetitive tasks, a cost test, and ignoring vendors who use big numbers to create urgency
