Immunic Inc (NASDAQ:IMUX) CEO Dr Daniel Vitt talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's recent up to $400 million private placement financing and the next major milestones for vidofludimus calcium in multiple sclerosis. Vitt described the transaction as “a great transaction and a transformative transaction for the company,” explaining that the $200 million upfront tranche strengthens Immunic's position ahead of its pivotal phase 3 ENSURE readouts and supports preparations for potential commercialization. The financing is designed to fund completion of the phase 3 ENSURE trials in relapsing MS, support a planned NDA submission to the FDA in mid-next year, and enable the initiation of a new phase 3 study in primary progressive MS. Immunic expects topline data from its twin phase 3 ENSURE studies at the end of this year. Vitt noted that an interim analysis conducted in 2024 resulted in the IDMC giving the studies the green light to continue as planned.

Long term benefits could justify the Crown pouring more money into Genesis Energy. The company's revealed a $400 million capital raise to up its investment in renewables. Now the Crown's purchasing $200 million worth of new shares to maintain its 51% shareholding. Major Electricity Users' Group Chair John Harbord told Ryan Bridge Genesis is focused on storing electricity for dry years. He says that backup supply is the most important electricity for the system. But Harbord says the investment doesn't do much in the short term for affordability issues.

Jalen Brunson opened up in a revealing Vanity Fair interview and a few comments have Knicks fans buzzing for very different reasons. From the oddly specific details about his off-court life to a brutally honest assessment of the team's current shortcomings, Brunson did not sugarcoat where things stand. But the real headline is financial. Brunson acknowledged the massive discount he took to help the Knicks build a contender and hinted that he expects to be repaid in the future. By 2028, he could be eligible for a five-year deal worth well over $400 million, a staggering number for a 32-year-old point guard. Is this simply the cost of doing business in today's NBA, or a ticking time bomb for the franchise? Would the Knicks actually commit that kind of money long term? And if they hesitate, could another team swoop in and change the entire landscape of New York basketball? This episode breaks down Brunson's candid comments, the reality of the NBA salary structure, the risk of paying aging stars, and what it all means for the Knicks' championship window.
The men's 400m has been on fire at the top of 2026, and we are barely half way through the indoor season. We've seen multiple men dip under the 45 second barrier, an NCAA freshman take down the World U20 Record, one of the top pros possibly taking down the official world record, the 4x400m relay world record record almost broken, and a ton of depth behind them all.Let's breakdown the current landscape of the men's 400m in 2026 so far.-------------------------------------------

What does it take to build a thriving quantum ecosystem from the ground up? Martin Laforest, physicist-turned-venture-capitalist at Quantacet, reveals how Quebec transformed a 1970s academic bet into a $400M quantum powerhouse—and why the industry's biggest misconception is thinking quantum computing is either a science problem or an engineering problem when it's clearly both.SummaryIn this conversation, Sebastian sits down with Martin Laforest, partner at Quantacet, Canada's quantum-only VC fund, to explore the messy realities of building quantum companies and ecosystems. Martin brings a rare perspective: PhD from Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing, eight years leading scientific outreach, a stint building a post-quantum cryptography startup with ex-BlackBerry executives, and now investing in the quantum future.This episode is for anyone trying to understand how quantum technology actually gets built—not the hype, but the infrastructure, the collaboration models, the government investment strategies, and the patience required. Whether you're technical or just curious about how transformative technologies emerge, Martin offers a grounded view of what's working, what's not, and why the quantum revolution looks more like slow, deliberate ecosystem building than overnight breakthroughs.What You'll LearnWhy quantum is both a science and engineering challenge and how the vacuum tube-to-transistor transition illuminates today's quantum journeyHow Quebec built a world-class quantum ecosystem starting from a 1970s university bet on condensed matter physics through to today's $400M provincial investmentThe infrastructure that matters: why Sherbrooke's six shared dilution fridges and quantum communication testbed represent a different collaboration modelWhat VCs actually look for in quantum startups beyond the technology—and why Martin believes early-stage investing is about building great companies, not just returnsThe three most dangerous misconceptions plaguing quantum technology (spoiler: it's not just about quantum computers)How regional quantum ecosystems should compete and collaborate with lessons from Netherlands, Chicago, and UK programsWhy fundamental research funding can't stop even as commercialization accelerates—and what happens when governments don't understand this balanceWhat "mutualized infrastructure" means in practice and why no single entity owning critical testbeds might be the secret sauceHow federal and provincial politics shape quantum strategy in Canada and what other countries can learn from itResources & LinksQuantacetInstitute for Quantum Computing (IQC)University of Sherbrooke Institute QuantiqueC2MI semiconductor fabrication facilityQuantumDELTAKey InsightsOn the science vs. engineering debate:"People ask if quantum computing is still a science problem or just engineering. It's both. Look at the vacuum tube to transistor transition—we needed new physics and new engineering. That's exactly where we are now."On ecosystem building:"Sherbrooke made a bet on condensed matter physics in the 1970s. Fifty years later, they have six dilution fridges available for rent and a quantum communication testbed owned by no one. That infrastructure patience is what builds real ecosystems."On VC philosophy:"Early-stage venture capital is about building great companies. The money is a byproduct. If you focus on the returns first, you'll make the wrong decisions every time."On common misconceptions:"The biggest myth is that quantum technology equals quantum computing. We have quantum sensors, quantum communications, post-quantum crypto—this is a multi-faceted industry, not a single magic box."On balancing research and commercialization:"You can't stop funding fundamental research just because commercialization is happening. The vacuum tube didn't kill physics research. We need both engines running or the whole thing stalls."Join the ConversationSubscribe to The New Quantum Era wherever you get your podcasts to hear more conversations with the people building quantum technology's future.
Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.The Goldman Sachs Alternatives Summit “convened leaders across finance, geopolitics, technology, and culture” to discuss themes driving global markets.2025's Alternatives Summit was about “navigating a world in flux,” as the firm's recap of its event noted. The event aimed to help investors cut through the noise and put together the pieces of the puzzle in a dynamic and increasingly complex world. Alt Goes Mainstream joined the event to have unscripted conversations with Goldman Sachs Alternatives leaders to cut through the noise by unpacking key themes and trends at the intersection of private markets and private wealth.In this special series, we went behind the scenes and interviewed six Goldman Sachs Alternatives leaders about their current thinking on private markets and how the firm has built and evolved its private markets capabilities.This conversation was with Harold Hope, Partner, Global Head of Vintage Strategies, one of the world's largest secondary fund managers, in the External Investing Group (XIG) within Goldman Sachs Asset Management. He is also Chair of the XIG Vintage Funds Committee and a member of the XIG Real Estate Strategies Investment Committee and the XIG GP Strategies Investment Committee. Harold joined Goldman Sachs in 1999 as an Associate in Leveraged Finance and Corporate Finance within the Investment Banking Division and moved to the Alternative Investments & Manager Selection (now XIG) private equity business in 2001. He was named Managing Director in 2006 and Partner in 2016. Prior to joining the firm, Harold worked as a financial analyst at the investment banking boutique Bowles Hollowell Conner & Co. Harold earned a BA in Economics and Political Science from the University of North Carolina. Harold and I had a fascinating and timely conversation about the growth and evolution of the secondaries market. We discussed:Perspectives from Harold's early days in secondaries 25 years ago, when Goldman had raised its first $400M fund in secondaries and when the secondaries industry was doing around $2B per year in transaction volume.How the secondaries market is vastly different from five years ago. The evolution of innovation in the secondaries market.Why problem-solving is a defining feature of secondaries. What is the right skillset required to be a great secondaries investor?Why secondaries is fundamentally a valuation oriented business.Are secondaries returns driven by buying high-quality assets or by buying at steep discounts?Misconceptions about continuation vehicles and how the trend of private companies staying private longer impacts CVs.The how and the why behind Goldman's recent acquisition of Industry Ventures and why Goldman is excited about the opportunity set in venture and growth secondaries.Why scale matters in secondaries.Why secondaries might not become a traded market like the bank loan market and why secondaries may not fully achieve standardization because managers may not want completely uniform standardization.Why secondaries can be an on-ramp to private markets for private wealth investors.Thanks Harold for sharing your wisdom, expertise, and passion about secondaries and private markets.

Travis and producer Eric break down a viral tweet questioning Dave Ramsey's $200M net worth and "no debt" advice, revealing why he's likely worth over a billion and how he built a debt-free empire preaching timeless financial basics. On this episode we talk about: A tweet claiming Dave Ramsey got rich selling "no credit card" advice he never followed himself. Ramsey Solutions' massive scale: 10M EveryDollar app users, $300M+ annual revenue, $300-400M in paid-off real estate. Why similar apps (TrueBill/Rocket Money) sold for $1.275B, proving Ramsey's hidden billionaire status. How to vet advice from "sellers" like coaches/authors without dismissing all profitable wisdom. The power of repeating simple truths (like "spend less than you make") for decades like Ramsey or Gary Vee. Top 3 Takeaways Practice beats preaching. Ramsey lives debt-free, owns everything outright, and scaled to billions without outside capital—proving his advice works at massive scale. Question financial incentives, but don't auto-discount. If someone's advice only makes them richer via high-ticket coaching, probe deeper; low-price scalability (books/courses) is often more legit. Boring repetition builds empires. Dave's said "spend less than you earn" for 30+ years; Gary Vee's hammered social/content for 20—find your core truth and repeat relentlessly. Notable Quotes "Dave Ramsey didn't get to $200 million by never using a credit card... He got to $200 million by selling that idea to you." "EveryDollar is a multi-billion dollar company. Rocket Money (TrueBill) sold for $1.275B with 10M users—Ramsey owns it 100% debt-free." "He's been preaching the same message for 30 years and still debt is at an all-time high... but he's made a big dent for tons of people."

Should construction companies sort out their data before using AI? Or can AI sort it out for them?We put two heavyweights in the ring to fight it out.In one corner: Dustin DeVan, one of the most decorated CEOs in construction tech. Exited Building Connected for $275M. Now running Ediphi. He's seen $400M liens and knows what happens when your data falls apart in litigation.In the other corner: KP Reddy, serial entrepreneur, founder, investor, and the man with 48 career experiences on LinkedIn (yes, we counted). He's backed by the biggest names in AEC and has been building stuff since he was a kid.Dustin says get your house in order first. He's been through a $400M lien. Messy records in court? Not fun.KP disagrees. Projects end, teams move on, data ends up everywhere. That's just how construction works. AI can make sense of the mess.One thing they agreed on — Excel isn't going anywhere.No punches pulled. No fluff.Who won? You decide.

Tara revisits the Chicago case that she says changed everything. A high-ranking Latin Kings gang member, an illegal immigrant wanted by Interpol, allegedly puts out a Snapchat hit on a U.S. Border Patrol sector chief — $10,000 to kill him, $2,000 to kidnap and torture him. The evidence was explicit. The jury deliberated less than four hours. The verdict: Not guilty. From Chicago to Minneapolis to Washington, D.C., Tara argues this case exposes a dangerous new reality: state courts won't prosecute, federal juries won't convict, and criminals know it. This isn't disorder. It's a system — and it's accelerating.
Tara delivers a stark warning after a series of courtroom decisions and public statements she says are changing the rules of enforcement in America. From a Latin Kings gang member walking free after allegedly placing a hit on a Border Patrol chief, to comments by Arizona's Attorney General that critics say could endanger federal agents, Tara connects the dots between non-prosecution, ideological jury pools, and what she believes is the rapid erosion of law and order in major blue cities. This episode asks one urgent question:

What happens when a state stops enforcing the law — and allies refuse to act like allies? ⚠️ In this explosive episode, Tara exposes two crises colliding at once:
What's really happening in Minnesota — and why does it matter to the rest of America? ⚠️ In this episode, Tara breaks down explosive claims involving $19 BILLION in alleged fraud, violent street intimidation, and federal officials being chased off while trying to investigate. With no arrests since December, leaked emails suggesting city coordination with protesters, and federal agencies sounding the alarm, Tara explains why Minnesota is being framed as a case study in depolicing, vigilantism, and the collapse of lawful accountability.

[ICYMI, here's a rerun of a show released earlier this year. We'll be back with new shows starting next week!] How the system pays doctors can change healthcare outcomes—sometimes in scary ways. The way docs are paid can make patients sicker…or can lead to healthier ones. The payment schemes most docs work under incentivize them to fix patients, while others motivate them to prevent illness—and geriatrician Dr. Jonathan “Nathan” Flacker is here to explain why. This episode rips the curtain off RVUs, fee-for-service traps, and the real reason your doc is rushing through your visit (hint: it's not personal, it's math). We dig into ChenMed's wild idea: what if clinics got paid to keep you out of the hospital? Turns out, when money flows toward health instead of procedures, everyone wins. Except maybe the $400M proton beam facility (for the record, we love proton beams, but you might not need them if you can avoid cancer altogether). Is concierge-style medicine only for the wealthy? What happens when you build “rich person care” for low-income seniors? And how many patients can a doc see well before it all breaks? If you’re dreaming of a career where you actually help people instead of just clicking boxes—this one’s a wake-up call. Also: Love calls, RVU debt, and why pajama time should be illegal.

More than four years after Better Being Company withdrew its IPO plans, one of the most historically significant dietary supplement brand portfolios finally got a (technically) new owner. Since that “Great Shutdown” period can be blurry for everybody, I'd guess most aren't aware Better Being Company filed Form S-1 with the SEC (in July 2021) for a proposed initial public offering…let alone that it postponed and eventually withdrew plans (due to market conditions) only a few months later. Obviously, hindsight granted us clarity to understand that despite the number of U.S. traditional IPOs in 2021 climbing to the highest levels since the late 1990s (and deal value hitting record levels), amid expectations for higher interest rates and a return of volatility…the market swiftly rotated away from risky, growth-oriented companies, which especially hurt small-cap IPOs. However, some might still argue it could've followed another dietary supplement company, Thorne Healthtech, that filed Form S-1 with the SEC something like a week after Better Being Company…and began trading a “downsized” IPO in September 2021. But even with continued strong sales growth, Thorne Healthtech struggled to maintain its IPO value until a 2023 acquisition by the private equity firm L Catterton offered stockholders a significant premium. Moreover, while most industry pundits would classify Better Being Company and Thorne Healthtech as direct competitors (due to offering similar categorical products), I see dramatically different strategic aspirations. Therefore, it's highly probable investors wouldn't have given Better Being Company a similar “spot landing” after eventually noticing it lacked the same prominence of Thorne Healthtech in this new “preventive health and wellness era” where consumers want a distinctively proactive, personalized, and integrative data-led approach. However, for the most part…private equity (and public markets) has adapted to lessons learned from this period, and positive momentum has been rebuilding throughout 2025. And that allows the recent Better Being Company announcement that it had been acquired by a syndicate of global investors led by Snapdragon Capital Partners (which has been a minority stake holder since July 2019). And assumably, Snapdragon Capital Partners would've built further conviction in the vertically integrated manufacturer, marketer, and distributor of branded dietary supplements and personal care products…because it had to buyout HGGC, the private equity firm that was responsible for taking Better Being Company (then known as Nutraceutical International) private in August 2017 for just shy of $450 million. But Snapdragon Capital stated in the recent press release that “Better Being Company has seen two years of explosive growth led by its flagship Solaray brand.” Additionally, within a trade publication article from earlier this year, President and Chief Commercial Officer (Kyle Garner), which joined in 2023, confirmed the strong recent performance of Better Being Company…stating 20% YoY growth and approaching $400 million in net sales (which would be about an additional $80 million in net sales compared to fiscal year 2020 financials). But then, beyond obviously looking for that successful future liquidity event...I'll explore where Snapdragon Capital Partners presumably envision Better Being Company going next?

Day 1,391.Today, we assess what some are calling a “breakthrough” in talks between Europe, Ukraine, and the United States, after reports that Washington is offering Kyiv security guarantees equivalent to NATO's Article 5. But is the proposal all it appears to be – and would Vladimir Putin ever accept it? We then report a first in military history: the sinking of a submarine in port by a drone, before examining internal pressures within Russian society, and reflecting on what Moscow has done to the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, reopening its destroyed theatre with a performance many see as shockingly insensitive.ContributorsFrancis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Roland Oliphant (Chief Foreign Analyst). @RolandOliphant on X.James Kilner (Russian Analyst). @jkjourno on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.
