At EUVC Summit 2025, one of the most animated sessions wasn't about regulation or returns—it was about size.Fund size.“You need to back small, early, and smart.”— ChloéWhile some claimed that fund size isn't predictive of returns, this panel pushed back with a powerful rebuttal: in early-stage venture, size absolutely matters—and skin in the game matters even more.Chloé laid out the logic:The earlier you invest, the lower the probability of hitting a mega outcomeBut the smaller your fund, the greater your exposure to uncapped upside“No one thought a $100M fund was too large in the early 2000s. But back then, a $1B exit was 99th percentile. Today? That's just 85th. A $20B exit is the new 99th percentile.”In short: outcomes have scaled dramatically—but fund sizes have ballooned even faster.If you want real multiples, you can't rely on average returns. You need asymmetric upside.“Average venture-backed exit valuation? Still around $100M.”That stat alone makes a strong case for micro-funds.→ A $5B mega fund might get you into elite cap tables—but you're unlikely to 10x→ A $30–50M fund? One breakout and you're a rocketshipAnd the panel made it clear: LPs chasing “safe” strategies may be missing the real alpha generators.The panel also poked fun at outdated VC modeling tools:“Can we finally stop using the Page & Associates PDF?”(Amen.)This wasn't just a critique of stale math—it was a call for more creative, conviction-led underwriting in a world where category winners look radically different than they did two decades ago.“We're not looking for averagely good returns. We're backing for uncapped upside.”That's the ethos driving many LPs toward emerging managers and micro funds.Not to mention the sense of alignment, focus, and nimbleness that often fades in billion-dollar vehicles.This panel had heat—and it wasn't done.“Happy to do this again.

First, the affordability gap in Phoenix — buyers now need $22,500 more just to qualify for a median home, with down payments outpacing annual salaries. What does that mean for renters, multifamily demand, and the future of homeownership in the Valley? Then we turn to Scottsdale Quarter's $645M sale and the planned $100M redevelopment aimed at transforming it into a luxury live-work-play hub. We unpack how these shifts reflect Arizona's growth, where investor money is flowing, and what it means for everyday residents.

What could a Swiss Army officer possibly teach you about building and selling companies worth hundreds of millions? Turns out – everything. Today's guest, Sam Goodner, took the discipline and precision he learned in the Swiss Army and applied it to entrepreneurship.  He founded Catapult Systems, scaled it through two major recessions, and eventually sold it after 20 years. Later, he helped take Flash Parking from a stuck $3M startup to $100M in revenue and a billion-dollar valuation. Now a mentor at Capital Factory and author of Like Clockwork: Run Your Business with Swiss Army Precision, Sam distills 30 years of lessons into practical principles that help entrepreneurs scale businesses that thrive without them. In this episode, Sam shares why scaling always begins with a sales playbook, how “cloud conversion therapy” won over 100% of skeptical customers, and why annual contingency planning can make your company recession-proof. He also breaks down what it really takes to prepare for a sale years in advance and how unforgettable first-day employee experiences can shape culture for decades. If you're ready to scale with Swiss Army precision and build a company that runs without you, tune in now.  — This episode is part of the 8FE (8-figure entrepreneur) series, where we talk to entrepreneurs who have already passed the million-dollar mark.  — Key Takeaways: 00:00 Intro 00:02:03 Running a business like clockwork in practice 00:17:00 Curated client experiences turned skeptics into loyal customers 00:25:33 Starting Catapult Systems 00:28:54 Recession-proofing strategies 00:33:49 Separate teams allow multiple ventures under one umbrella 00:38:54 Selling businesses: Define your number and prepare years before exit 00:43:07 Strong EBITDA and audited records maximize company valuation 00:48:17 Choosing investment bankers 00:53:45 “Like Clockwork: Run Your Business With Swiss Army Precision” 00:59:54 First-day experiences build culture and long-term loyalty 01:01:35 Advice to young entrepreneurs 01:05:09 Wrapup — Additional Resources:

Over more than three decades at the helm, Colin oversaw multiple major championships, spearheaded $100M+ in capital improvements, and helped shape one of the most storied clubs in the world.

CAMP4 Press Release:  https://www.linkedin.com/posts/caleb-moore-4382704_syngap1-activity-7371545171047628800-zVqR   Let me tell you a story: EW Story, concern over viability of C4. Easy to follow financials, Mrkt Cap and Net assets of ~$40M.  Net income/EBITDA of -$12.6M in Q2.   Running Phase I / II trials and ramping up for Phase III, not cheap.  They need more than they had and capital is hard to get in this market. But here is the good part, the data is solid, the team is strong, and the SYNGAP1 Ecosystem is excited to have a first mover. SRF was thrilled to be invited, not just because we believe in C4, but because we wanted to send a meaningful signal to other investors that we are working closely with C4 and are eager to support their success.  I believe that our investment, while modest, sent that signal and helped this raise become oversubscribed. The board worked hard on this one. Now for hard questions: Are we conflicted? No.  We will transparently share info about all trials for products with good data.  ( See #S10e172 for ASGCT Data https://youtu.be/9xO1TcO1Eus )  Will other companies be upset?  Unlikely.  Stoke and Praxis are the only companies publicly working on SYNGAP1 that are close to this point and they are not worried about financial viability, but if they do want to do a raise for their SYNGAP1 program, they should certainly call us. What will other companies think? Indeed we are de-risking the disease by showing that our kids are modifiable with ASOs which are the majority of the therapies in scope.  This is a huge favor to others looking at this space.   Isn't this taking a risk with our funds?  Depends.  But if it is, it's a risk worth taking.  Remember we are the smallest investor, we only committed up to $1M, so other professional biotech investors put in $99M. What was the process?  C4 came to us, we decided it was worth talking to the board who had multiple discussions but we said yes in less than a week and that was last week. When is the trial? 2H26 Less than a year from now.  With this financing, I am sure of it. As I write this, the $CAMP stock closed up $0.80 or +40%.  Which is solid.  The market is starting to agree with the wise investors and SRF!  Yes we need a cure.  https://www.linkedin.com/posts/curesyngap1_savekramerdavis-activity-7371607032807763968-PVfG   See you Friday: Beacon of Hope September 12, 2025 - Boston, MA cureSYNGAP1.org/Beacon25   SOCIAL MATTERS - 4,311 LinkedIn.  https://www.linkedin.com/company/curesyngap1/  - 1,430 YouTube.  https://www.youtube.com/@CureSYNGAP1    - 11,286 Twitter https://twitter.com/cureSYNGAP1  - 46k Insta https://www.instagram.com/curesyngap1/    Episode 182 of #Syngap10 #CureSYNGAP1 #Advocate #PatientAdvocacy #UnmetNeed #SYNGAP1 #SynGAP #SynGAProMMiS

Traditional geopolitical analysis is dead. A $10,000 drone can now destroy a $100 million military platform—and this "budgetary exhaustion" strategy is already transforming how smart companies compete. We need systems thinking to navigate the four forces reshaping global power:balance of power, technology, climate change, and the nature of warfare. Dr. Nicholas Kenney, founder of Beacon Geopolitical Intelligence, reveals how modern conflict operates through "budgetary exhaustion"—using $10K drones to destroy $100M platforms—and why this asymmetric strategy is already transforming business competition.Paradigm Shifts:→ From Stocks to Flows: Geopolitical power no longer comes from controlling territories but from commanding technological stacks—the entire pipeline from extraction to distribution→ Budgetary Exhaustion Strategy: Ukraine's drone warfare model now applies to business—use low-cost innovation to neutralize competitors' expensive advantages→ Private Geopolitical Actors: Individual entrepreneurs (Musk/Starlink) now make decisions traditionally reserved for governments, creating new power dynamicsEcosystem Impact:→ China's rare earths dominance forced US policy concessions—not through military might but technological stack control→ DeepSeek vs OpenAI: 80% capability at 20% cost demonstrates an asymmetric competitive strategy→ Leadership evolution: from "top-down control" to "center-out influence" in complex systemsThe Innovation: Recognizing that interconnections between system elements matter more than individual components. Success comes from understanding how power flows through networks, not from accumulating static resources.Strategic Application: Any organization can apply "budgetary exhaustion" principles—identify competitors' expensive advantages, then develop low-cost alternatives that force unsustainable resource allocation. The goal isn't superiority but sustainability.Strategic Reframe: In our interconnected world, ask: "What technological stacks do we need to control, and how do we position ourselves at the center of critical flows rather than trying to dominate from the top?"The most resilient ecosystems cultivate influence through connection, not control.Guest: Dr. Nicholas Kenney, Founder, Beacon Geopolitical IntelligenceHost: Dyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksSeries Hosts: Vikram Shyam, Lead Futurist, NASA Glenn Research CenterDyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksEcosystemic Futures is provided by NASA Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project in collaboration with Shoshin Works.

Most agents chase the dream of selling luxury properties in LA or Orange County, but what if the real fortune is hiding in overlooked, “unsexy” markets?  Cyrus Mohseni didn't just stumble into real estate investing; he cracked a code in a place most people would never think to look: Muncie, Indiana. While most agents were fighting for overpriced duplexes in LA, Cyrus was quietly buying homes for the price of a used car, building a 100+ unit portfolio, and reshaping an entire community.  Now, he's not just investing in properties, he's working with city leadership, redeveloping neighborhoods, and using the profits to fuel a new venture in real estate tech that could completely rewrite how brokerages operate. Cyrus leads one of the top-producing teams in Orange County, closing $100M a year while simultaneously scaling in the Midwest.  He's done what most only dream of: turning small-town, distressed real estate into a scalable system and leveraging those wins into tech innovation that will leave behind the agents who refuse to adapt.  How did he end up investing in Muncie? What's the biggest issue that holds tech companies back in real estate? How do agents make sure they aren't out of the business in the next two years? In this episode, Cyrus shares how he built his empire in Muncie, what he's building next in real estate technology, and why AI isn't just a shiny tool; it's the tidal wave that will wipe out 40% of today's agents.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  The overlooked goldmine of C+ markets Everyone wants the luxury listings, but Cyrus built his wealth by buying $3,000 boarded-up homes in a small town. Could the markets you've ignored hold the highest ROI? Stop being the operator, start being the visionary Cyrus scaled past the grind of cold calls and open houses by shifting into visionary leadership. Are you still stuck in the weeds, doing what your hires should be doing? AI isn't optional; it's survival Just as DocuSign changed real estate forever, AI will 100x that disruption. 40% of agents won't survive this shift. Will you be one of the ones who adapts, or one of the ones replaced? Building more than wealth Beyond profits, Cyrus is helping Muncie shift from a “city everyone leaves” to a place where Ball State graduates start families and careers.
