Scott Kitun, investor and advisor, reveals how democratizing private equity is breaking the 1% monopoly. On Disruption Interruption, he explains how platforms like Republic are unlocking trillions in potential capital—empowering everyday investors and redefining access to wealth in a rapidly evolving market.

TAMPA BAY, Fla., July 10, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The wealthiest 1% own a staggering 54% of public equity markets, leaving everyday investors with limited opportunities to build significant wealth. (1) A new Federal Reserve analysis reveals an all-time high in stock market concentration, emphasizing the urgent need for greater financial inclusion.

Investor, entrepreneur, and advisor Scott Kitun, known for his work with Republic and KingsCrowd, is on a mission to change that. In the latest episode of with host Karla Jo Helms (KJ), Kitun discusses his efforts to democratize private markets and empower everyday investors with access to opportunities traditionally reserved for the ultra-wealthy.

"We're at a turning point where retail investors have the potential to access high-quality, triple-A-rated opportunities instead of being stuck with volatile public markets" — Scott Kitun, Investor, entrepreneur, and advisor

"Private equity in general has beat public stocks 19 out of 20 years," Kitun reveals, pointing to the higher returns often found in private infrastructure investments compared to the volatility of public markets.

Breaking Barriers in Private Markets
The current financial landscape is stacked against everyday investors. According to Kitun, there's nearly $12 trillion in retail capital sitting on the sidelines, unable to access the private market because "we're not rich enough." Combine this with $20 trillion in wealth that will be transferred in the next decade, and the opportunity is tremendous—but so is the gap.

"The status quo of private market investing has always kept everyday investors out," Kitun explains. "Most people don't even realize 90% of companies earning over $100 million in revenue annually are private. That means the stock market gives access to only 10% of businesses globally."

Audiences tuning into this episode will discover how exclusive access and lack of education about private equity have left many everyday investors grappling with volatile public market returns, while institutions and an elite few cash in.

A New Dawn for Financial Access
Kitun's pioneering work is not just about opening doors to private equity but also about ensuring smarter, long-term investing. "We're at a turning point where retail investors have the potential to access high-quality, triple-A-rated opportunities instead of being stuck with volatile public markets," Kitun emphasizes.

Tokenization, blockchain, and AI technologies play a central role in this democratization process, removing barriers to ensure that investments are not only accessible but also manageable for everyday people. Kitun envisions a future where everyone from unbanked retirees to upwardly mobile professionals can invest in assets like private infrastructure without being limited by outdated systems.

"The future of investing lies in empowering retail investors to grow their money smarter, safer, and more efficiently," says Kitun.
