Lyn Alden raised $40M to launch Orange Juice, a holding company that buys cash-flowing businesses and layers Bitcoin on top, not another pure-play treasury bet. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Your biggest crypto vulnerability isn't your wallet, it's your phone number. Cape is America's privacy-first mobile carrier that rotates your SIM identity daily and blocks SIM swaps before they happen. Get 33% off your first six months at cape.co/unchained (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== Lyn Alden just raised $40 million to launch a Bitcoin-backed holding company that skips the trade most of crypto is chasing. Rather than build another pure-play Bitcoin treasury stock, Orange Juice buys cash-flowing, unglamorous businesses and layers a Bitcoin treasury on top at the parent-company level. Lyn Alden, cofounder of Orange Juice and a partner at Ego Death Capital, frames it as a countercyclical alternative to procyclical treasury companies, and she does not spare Strategy from criticism. She compares Orange Juice's structure to Berkshire Hathaway and argues Strategy let its dollar reserve fall too far, weighing in as Laura invokes Michael Saylor's 'sell a kidney' line and STRC's slide to near $85 against its $100 target. She also addresses BIP-110's inscription debate and Bitcoin's quantum computing threat, questioning whether the community's resistance to change is a strength or a liability.

We're still surprised people did this but... 50+ founders worth $10M to $4B reveal their personal finances. Here it is: https://joinhampton.com/mw-wrWhy do we do this? Because if you're an aspirational person or someone who runs a business and is making money, it's incredibly challenging to figure out what to do. Information is impossible to find — and that's what we put together: the net worth reveal and why we do this podcast, Moneywise.He got his first $5M check and expected to feel superhuman. The next day was one of the most disappointing of his life.Jesse Pujji walked away from a Goldman Sachs job where he made $500K at 25 — with a boss making $3M and a group head making $20M — to bootstrap an ad agency on $33K per partner and a stack of Amex cards. Ampush cracked the Facebook arbitrage before almost anyone: $100K in monthly revenue in June 2010 became $2M a month with $600K in EBITDA fourteen months later. He scaled it to half a billion in annual ad spend and 250 employees without raising a dollar, turned down $25M at 27, sold 20% to Red Ventures in 2015, and sold the whole thing to New Mountain Capital in 2022 for somewhere between $40M and $60M on a 35% stake. He never got the nine-figure number he made up in his head, and he says chasing it was the mistake.This episode gets into the exact allocation of a post-exit portfolio, why Jesse refuses to let his advisors put illiquid startup equity on his balance sheet, what $500K a year of "normal" spending actually buys, and why he asked his financial advisor how people possibly spend more than that. He's honest about the gap between the money he expected to change him and the money that didn't. And we spend real time on the part most founders avoid: three kids who never saw him grind, a Greenlight allowance split into thirds, a $63 JCPenney paycheck at 16 that taught him more than any of it, and the question of whether to leave them anything at all.Also, this podcast is made by Hampton, which is a community for founders doing on average $20 million a year in revenue. We saw a lot of these money conversations happening privately behind closed doors and we thought, "What the heck, let's make it public."

Last week my McLaren broke down on the A303, right by Stonehenge. Engine light on, pulled over waiting for recovery while people drove past honking at me.Old me would've spiralled. Missed meetings, day ruined.Instead I asked myself, where's this stress actually coming from? I haven't crashed. I haven't died. I'm just standing next to a broken car. So I got a taxi, did my meetings from the back seat, let the car company sort the rest. Zero stress. Because I chose not to have any.That's the whole game. Cortisol isn't the enemy. Living permanently jacked up on it is.Every rich person I know exists in a state I call hyper calm. Not stressed 24/7, not switched off either. Calm as the default, with the ability to flip the stress on for the split second it's needed and drop it straight after.Epictetus said it a couple thousand years ago. If it's not in my control, it's none of my concern.You decide what deserves a stress response. Most of what wrecks people daily doesn't qualify.In this video I broke down my full protocol for “Cortisol Loading” and how it will make you rich.If you can't sit through a 40 minute step-by-step video on how to become rich by someone who has made $40M in his 20's, then this is not for you.Watch the full breakdown here: https://youtu.be/AOMmrxyiOCs

According to Daily NK, the regime ordered local officials to stop street vendors from selling rice above a state-imposed ceiling. This action was in response to rice prices rising above 30,000 North Korean won ($33.33) per kilogram. Officials and undercover agents are now inspecting markets, checking sellers' account books, and confiscating rice from those accused of charging too much. Traders are responding by pulling rice from public stalls and selling it privately from homes or other hidden locations. For North Koreans, the state's actions make rice harder to find and more expensive.

Get Me Out of Here! — and Rob broke the story over a week before the official announcement. Despite other outlets calling it speculation, his trusted sources were right. Again. Angus Ross is back at Channel 7 — and in a bigger role. After being sacked in March following 27 years at the network, the popular programmer returns as Managing Director, Television and Streaming. Meanwhile, veteran commercial director Bruce McWilliam has quietly become Southern Cross Media's second-biggest shareholder, setting the cat among the pigeons after the 7/SCA merger. The fallout from the Kyle and Jackie O axing continues, with three more team members — including the show's censor — now made redundant. Rob's recent interview with Intern Pete gives an inside look at how the team is coping, with the Kyle/Jackie O legal action against ARN still playing out in court. Stephen Colbert's Late Show finale was, by Rob's assessment, a bizarre farewell. With Paramount citing $40 million in annual losses and speculation about Trump's influence, Rob examines whether the show's enormous overheads — including custom-made Armani suits for every appearance — contributed to its demise. And what does it mean for the future of late night TV? Plus: an NBC reporter gets mocked online for her measured reaction to gunshots at the White House — and Rob has something to say about that. And a fascinating look at the extraordinary broadcast technology behind Eurovision's global graphics sync.

We start with the brain drain and end up at asteroid mining, and somehow it all connects.In this episode we get into why "San Francisco is just a wrapper on Waterloo," why Canada is great at inventing the future (two of the three godfathers of AI, the transformer, the smartphone) but bad at commercializing it, and what it actually takes to build a generational tech company north of the border. Then we go off-planet: collapsing launch costs, compute in orbit, solar cost down 99.7% since 1970, and why investing in space is really about helping things back here on this pale blue planet.▶ WATCH & SUBSCRIBE:    / @palebluenexus

#197: Scaled His Niche Vertical SaaS ERP with Growth Equity - Marc Sanderson

Practical Founders Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later May 22, 2026 75:22


Marc Sanderson is the founder and CEO of INNERGY, but he didn't start as a software founder. After earning his MBA and searching for a company to buy, he and partner Walter Wilkie acquired a small architectural woodworking business in Minnesota in 1997. Running that business revealed a deep operational problem: there was no software built for how custom woodworking shops actually operated. So Marc built his own. That internal tool eventually became Innergy, a vertical SaaS ERP platform for architectural woodworking and high-end residential millwork businesses. Today, Innergy handles everything from CRM and estimating to project management, engineering, fabrication, and field installation. In 2025, the company reached roughly $25M in revenue, is growing more than 50% annually, and expects to approach $40M in 2026. After bootstrapping growth for years using profits from the original woodworking business, Marc sold 51% of Innergy to growth equity firm MainSail Partners in 2025 for more than $40M, while remaining CEO. In this episode, he shares practical lessons about vertical SaaS, customer intimacy, onboarding complex ERP systems, finding the right growth equity partner, and why strategy still matters more than AI. Key Takeaways Deep Domain — Marc built software from firsthand pain inside his own woodworking business, not from an outside startup idea. Education Matters — INNERGY advantage isn't only software. Customer education and operational thinking drive adoption and retention. Growth Equity Fit — Marc rejected investment several times before choosing a partner that could help scale—not just provide cash. Meet Customers — ERP success came from meeting customers where they are instead of forcing "best practices" immediately. Customer Intimacy — INNERGY's onboarding, benchmarking, and peer learning approach helped create ~95% retention. Quote from Marc Sanderson, Founder and CEO of INNERGY "AI is just a tool. I see organizations creating a chief AI officer. I don't have a chief Outlook officer. I don't have a chief Internet officer. I don't have a chief Web officer. It's just a tool at the end of the day." "Just because you can cook rice infinitely at no cost doesn't make you a Michelin star restaurant. It's all the other aspects of these integrated activities that make you who you are. And at the end of the day, as long as we are creating value for our customer, they will continue to write a check to us." "A lot of the AI efforts that are going on across the industry is focused on cost reduction, expense reduction internal to the software firm. Great. That helps us get to a breakeven or beyond. It helps with the rule of 40. However, it does not create more intimacy with the customer."

Most founders think selling a business is the finish line. For Beth Mazza, it was the start of a completely different challenge. After selling her first consulting firm for a modest valuation, Beth rebuilt her next company with an exit in mind from day one. The result? A roughly $40 million exit and a crash course in what buyers actually value. In this episode of the Opportunity Podcast, Beth shares the lessons she learned from both exits, including building systems that reduce founder dependency and creating relationships with potential buyers years before selling. We discuss what really drives high-value exits: positioning, operational readiness, recurring relationships, and strong financials. Beth also explains why most founders wait too long to prepare their business for acquisition. She also opens up about the emotional side of entrepreneurship, the identity shift that comes after an exit, and balancing motherhood while building companies at scale. If you've ever wondered what separates a sellable business from one that traps the founder inside it, this episode delivers an honest look behind the curtain.  Topics Discussed in this episode: 02:00 - The mistakes Beth made when exiting her first company  05:30 - Why Beth's second business earned a much higher valuation  08:00 - Building buyer relationships years before selling  13:00 - Lessons from bad LOIs and failed positioning 16:30 - Beth's thoughts on AI, SaaS, and agency businesses 25:00 - Turning founder expertise into systems and processes  28:00 - How Beth's $40M exit came about 36:00 - Why PE-backed strategic buyers pay higher multiples 40:00 - The emotional reality after selling a company Mentions:  Empire Flippers Podcasts Empire Flippers Marketplace Create an Empire Flippers account Subscribe to our newsletter Female Mavericks Sit back, grab a coffee, and learn how to prepare for a profitable acquisition from the start!

If you're looking to build passive income through multifamily real estate, Elevest Capital gives you access to exclusive apartment investments not available to the public. Non-accredited investors can participate with as little as $10,000. Get on the Investor List: lfscapital.com     In this episode of The MORE Show, I sit down once again with my good friend and business partner Adam Williams, Founder and CEO of Elevest Capital, for a raw and real conversation about what it truly takes to build lasting wealth through real estate. I open up about one of the most painful chapters of my career — losing millions of dollars after scaling too fast, trusting the wrong person, and being too stubborn to pivot out of single family despite being warned by both Adam and Grant Cardone. Rather than wallow in it, I want this story to empower you: there are smarter, more scalable, and more tax-efficient ways to build wealth than grinding through fix-and-flip or single family rentals. Adam breaks down why right now is a once-in-a-cycle perfect storm for multifamily apartment investing — with properties trading at 30-40% discounts, organic rent growth returning, demand outpacing supply, and 100% bonus depreciation back on the table thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill — and how through the MORE Club, everyday investors can get into $40M apartment deals with as little as $10,000, even without being accredited.

In this episode of the Profit First for Real Estate Investing podcast, I sit down with Ken Barton—entrepreneur, real estate investor, and founder of Offa—to talk about how he went from high-income W-2 sales to building a platform that's changing how investors find and fund deals.We dive into Ken's unconventional journey, from selling $40M in software to buying his first off-market deal, and how frustration with outdated systems led him to build a marketplace for real estate investors. We also unpack the real opportunity behind off-market deals, why most investors struggle with access and financing, and how connecting deal flow with lending could completely change the game. If you've ever felt stuck trying to find deals or funding, this episode will open up a new way of thinking.  Episode Highlights[1:15] – Ken's unconventional background and global sales career[2:21] – Why high income doesn't equal wealth (tax problem realization)[4:00] – The turning point: discovering real estate for tax advantages[6:07] – The $185K business plan story that funded his first investments[8:14] – Buying his first duplex for $75K during the pandemic[9:26] – Why off-market deals outperform on-market opportunities[11:33] – The frustration that led to building Offa[13:10] – Why both buyers and sellers hated existing platforms[15:17] – Building a marketplace that actually serves investors[17:22] – How Offa is growing purely through word-of-mouth[18:55] – Why buyer behavior is more powerful than static “buy boxes”[21:33] – The vision: becoming the MLS for real estate investors[25:06] – The real monetization strategy: lending, not subscriptions[27:08] – Why access to debt is the biggest bottleneck for investors[29:31] – 100% financing: how it works and why it's a game changer[30:28] – The long-term vision to scale Offa into a massive platform5 Key TakeawaysHigh income doesn't equal wealth. Without tax strategy and investing, W-2 income alone won't build long-term freedom.Off-market deals are where the real opportunity is. The best deals are rarely found on the open market.Access beats knowledge. Many investors know what to do—they just lack deal flow or funding.Debt is a powerful tool when used correctly. Leveraging financing (even up to 100%) can accelerate growth dramatically.The future of investing is connection. Platforms that connect deals, buyers, and funding will dominate the next wave of real estate.Links & ResourcesExplore Offa (real estate marketplace): https://offa.com/Learn more about Profit First for real estate investors: https://www.simplecfo.comIf this episode helped you think differently about how to find deals, fund them, and scale your investing business, make sure to rate, follow, and review the podcast.

 “I get told no… probably 100 times a day—and I just go again.” In this episode, Benjamin Cohen shares how he raised over $12M and acquired $40M+ in multifamily assets—all before turning 30. Benjamin breaks down how he built his foundation by working inside a syndication firm, leveraging relationships, and learning through repetition rather than formal mentorship. He reveals the stark differences between raising retail capital versus institutional equity, why smaller syndicated deals can become operationally overwhelming, and how focusing on larger JV partnerships and ultra-high-net-worth investors changed his strategy. The conversation dives into building credibility at a young age, why “knowing your deal better than anyone” eliminates objections, and how discipline in acquisitions—not chasing deals—determines success in today's market. For investors and entrepreneurs, this episode delivers a raw, real-world look at what it actually takes to raise capital, structure deals, and scale in commercial real estate. 5 Key Takeaways from this episodeRepetition—not mentorship—built foundational skills Benjamin learned the business by executing deals, networking, and gaining real-world experience early on. Retail capital is time-intensive and operationally heavy Managing many smaller investors requires significant education, communication, and administrative effort. Institutional capital offers scale—but tougher economics Larger checks come with stricter terms, lower GP upside, and longer relationship-building timelines. Credibility comes from mastery, not age Deep knowledge of the deal and market can overcome skepticism and build investor trust quickly. The deal determines how easy capital raising will be Strong fundamentals—low basis, high yield, and good location—attract capital faster than aggressive underwriting.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

Danny Yeung went from selling baseball cards at age 12 to scaling Ubuy-Ibuy to nearly a million a month in revenue in just six months before Groupon acquired it in 2010. Then during Covid, he launched a PCR testing operation that processed 28 million tests and generated over $800 million in revenue across three years. He listed the company on the Nasdaq at a billion-dollar valuation—then watched it crash to $40 million within 18 months. Instead of giving up, he bet the entire company's future on launching IM8, a consumer supplement brand co-founded with David Beckham that scaled from zero to nearly $10 million a month in just over a year. In this interview, the co-founder of IM8 breaks down how he processed 40,000 PCR tests daily with a 2,000-person operation running 24/7, why he pivoted from Covid testing to launching a premium supplement brand, and the brutal $500,000 lesson he learned trying to unlock ad spend too quickly on Meta without the right infrastructure in place. What you'll learn in this interview: • How Danny scaled Ubuy-Ibuy to nearly $1M/month in 6 months before Groupon acquired it • Why he processed 28 million Covid tests generating $800M+ in revenue over 3 years • How he ran a 24/7 operation with 2,000+ people processing 40,000 tests daily • Why he listed on the Nasdaq at $1B valuation then crashed to $40M in 18 months • How he bet the company's future on launching IM8 with David Beckham • Why product obsession is the baseline—you can't even play without a great product • How IM8 scaled from zero to $10M/month in just over a year • The $500,000 mistake: trying to unlock ad spend too fast on Meta • Why consolidating multiple Meta accounts into one unlocked massive scale • How they now spend $200K/day on Meta while maintaining profitability • Why their average order value is over $200—one of the highest in supplements • How they signed athletes like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Fernando Alonso organically • Why NSF certification for sport was critical for credibility with elite athletes • His philosophy: you can't have a backup option—burn the boats and go all in If you're scaling a DTC brand, trying to unlock paid advertising at scale, or navigating a massive pivot after a business collapse, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about product obsession, risk-taking, and building brands that elite athletes actively seek out.

Government contracts construction is one of the most overlooked wealth-building opportunities available to minority and small business owners today — and host Eric Coffey is laying out the entire blueprint to break in with zero experience. In this episode of the GovCon Giants podcast, Eric reveals why construction is his top recommendation for anyone looking to start over, build generational wealth, and tap into a marketplace that has never — not once — met its diversity goals. Here's what you'll take away from this episode: Why no experience is actually an advantage — Eric explains why coming in without preconceived notions puts beginners in the best position to succeed in construction. The step-by-step construction blueprint — From forming your LLC and getting $500 insurance, to building a subcontractor database, attending Economic Development Corporation meetings, and winning your first single-trade project. How to position yourself for diversity contracts — Why targeting cities with high Black and Brown populations and unmet diversity goals dramatically increases your odds of winning work. The CPA secret that separates 7-figure builders from the rest — Why your accountant is your biggest networking asset, and how to pick one who already works with $30–$40M construction clients. Do's and don'ts when starting out — Including why you should never call yourself a "middleman," never hire a handyman for project work, and never bond a project as a subcontractor.

Hi everyone. I'm Kanika Chadda Gupta. I'm a television journalist, podcast host of “That's Total Mom Sense,” wife and mom of three. I am having a fangirl moment right now because I am with the beautiful, talented singer, songwriter, actress, and author who has grown up alongside us. She's been singing her whole life and began her musical career as a founding member of Destiny's Child and here we are with children of our own. I'm about to “say her name, say her name.” Kelly Rowland is an American singer, performer, songwriter, actress, and television personality. She rose to fame in the late 1990s as a member of Destiny's Child, one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. She soon released her debut solo studio album, Simply Deep in 2002, debuting at #1 on the UK Albums Chart and sold over 3 million copies worldwide. Rowland eventually became a judge on the eighth season of The X Factor (UK version), as well as the 3rd season of The X Factor (USA) in 2013. She has continued her television career by hosting Chasing Destiny, and starred as a coach on The Voice (Australia).  Throughout her career, Rowland has sold 40M+ records as a solo artist, and an additional 60M+ records with Destiny's Child. She's won 4 Grammy Awards, 1 Billboard Music Award, and 2 Soul Train Music Awards — she's also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as part of Destiny's Child, and as a solo artist, she has been honored by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and Essence for her contributions to music.
