Sahil Khatod's path to Portage ran through Bridgewater's research group and then Ardea Partners, where he advised financial-services companies on large deals like XL Group's sale to AXA and was a registered broker from 2017 to 2021, giving him a banking background focused on insurers and banks rather than general tech. At Portage, he works on Capital Solutions, focusing on late-stage and structured fintech deals, splits his time between New York and Portage's Canadian roots, and has also been involved in the firm's SPAC work alongside private investing.
