The line between public and private markets has never been blurrier — and Scott Voss, Managing Director at HarbourVest Partners, has a view on both sides. In this episode of Inside the ICE House, Voss joins NYSE Vice Chair Michael Harris to map the forces reshaping capital markets in 2026: record buyouts, the rise of the secondary market as a mainstream liquidity path, and a handful of AI companies that could collectively raise as much equity as the entire global IPO market did last year. They cover what AI disruption really means for software valuations and private credit, why infrastructure and defense have become the new growth trade, and how the push for national self-sufficiency is redrawing the global investment playbook. Voss also previews HarbourVest's latest research on the redefinition of sovereignty — from geographic borders to data, compute, and the "pseudo sovereigns" who control them. The conversation closes with a warning: in a world of dispersion and consensus risk traps, the fundamentals have never mattered more.
