Today, I am delighted to speak with Tomas Hurcik, Co-Founder and CEO of ORCA AG, a Swiss based SaaS company focused on building legal technology to support and automate the growing amount of legal, tax and compliance to-do's that modern families with complex legal structures face. Tomas co-founded ORCA in 2017 after gaining first-hand insight via his wife’s family business and family office into the difficulty of assembling, analyzing, and sharing structure charts, entity management, and compliance reporting information.

Prior to co-founding ORCA, Tomas spent his entire working life in startups in investment banking, private banking, and e-commerce. Two IPO-ed, one failed. Tomas and his company ORCA are a FOX technology resource partner, and we are thankful to have his expertise as part of our membership community.

Families and their complex enterprises have – and constantly generate – a lot of information, and organizing, storing, and retrieving this information is an ever-growing challenge. Tomas talks about this challenge and describes the relevance of organizing important information to families and their family offices.

When Tomas decided to create ORCA, he perceived a specific opportunity based on a common pain point that most families experience with their data and information – a pain point that he and his wife also experienced. He describes this experience and shares the pain points he set out to solve.

The company Tomas created, ORCA, is gaining ever greater recognition in our space. He tells us what ORCA is – what it does, what problems it solves for families and family offices, and how it solves them.

For family office owners and executives in our audience who are focused on managing their enterprise information needs, Tomas offers his advice on how best to do that. He elaborates on how they should think about their information needs and plan to organize, manage, and deliver information to their increasingly diverse and dispersed user base.

Don't miss this eye-opening conversation with a leading entrepreneur and thought leader in the family office technology ecosystem.
