Free whitepaper 
AdoptionTalentPitfalls
A practical guide for hedge funds moving from AI experiments to AI that changes how the firm operates, without giving up control, governance, or judgment.
This whitepaper, co-authored by Meraki Global Advisors and Extraordinary AI, draws on hundreds of conversations with fund managers across hedge funds, private equity, and family offices. It is written by practitioners, for practitioners: what is working, what is not, where firms consistently fall short, and how to break through the hype to fully leverage AI.
What you’ll learn:
Talent
The Barbell Problem. How uneven AI competence inside a firm creates shadow AI use, an audit gap, and a leadership blind spot, and why the top-down mandate usually fails.
Pitfalls
The Six Mistakes Funds Make. From buying the tool before defining the work to treating AI as a technology project instead of a change-management project.
Readiness
A Practical Readiness Framework. Five areas to score honestly before scaling: workflow map, data hygiene, governance baseline, talent map, and measurement plan.
Getting started
How to Start. Why the right first move is one painful workflow, not the most impressive technology available, and when off-the-shelf beats bespoke.
