In this special episode of Tank Talks, recorded live during Toronto Tech Week at Moomoo Canada's flagship store in Yorkville, Matt Cohen sits down with two of venture's sharpest data and investment minds for an unfiltered conversation on the state of private markets.Peter Walker, Senior Director of Insights at Carta, brings the hard numbers from 60,000+ companies and 3,000+ US venture funds, revealing the stark reality behind valuation markups, unicorn deterioration, and the widening dispersion between top-tier and median deals.John Rikhtegar, Vice President at Northleaf Capital Partners and former RBC investor, offers the LP perspective on why trust matters more than ever, why emerging managers are bearing the brunt of capital allocation challenges, and how disciplined pacing and vintage diversification separate winning funds from the rest.Together, they tackle the 4.3 trillion-dollar NAV overhang, the brutal graduation rates for 2021 vintage funds, whether valuations have permanently shifted, and why the ATM analogy might be the best way to understand AI's impact on venture careers.If you're a GP raising capital, an LP sorting through manager pitches, or just trying to make sense of where venture is headed, this episode is a must-listen.The Great LP Reset: Trust Over Performance (08:05)* Why LPs are letting go of newer relationships while sticking with 15-year partners.* The COVID furlough analogy: why junior and newer team members are the first to go.* How trust became the ultimate table stakes in today's fundraising environment.The 4.3 Trillion Dollar NAV Problem (12:33)* Why SpaceX's IPO would return only 10% of capital deployed over the last decade.* The staggering number of unicorns still sitting on stale marks from 2021.* What happens when 50% of unicorn down rounds become the new normal.Valuation Dispersion Is Breaking the Model (17:38)* Seed valuations jumped from $15M post-money (2022) to $24M (2025).* Series A went from $46M to nearly $80M in the same period.* Why the gap between the top decile and the median has never been wider.* How GPs must adapt ownership expectations or get priced out of deals.The Unicorn Graveyard: Stale Marks and Deteriorating Assets (19:28)* December 2021: 640 unicorns on Carta; 85% of current US unicorns.* 30% have raised new up-rounds; of the rest, half raised down rounds of 50% or more.* How GPs are forced to tell LPs that their “trophy assets” are no longer real.Pacing, Reserves, and Portfolio Construction (22:53)* Why disciplined 3-4 year deployment beats 18-month “firehose” strategies.* The 80/20 reserve debate: why leading rounds can become a net negative.* How “deal 13” is just as likely to succeed as “deal 12”, and why slightly larger portfolios make sense.LP Diligence: It's Not About the Marks (31:55)* Why TDPI and DPI are just 2 of 100 mosaic factors in LP decision-making.* How LPs now go company-by-company, not fund-by-fund.* The importance of founder references, especially from failed companies.Canada vs. The US: A Fractal Problem (40:44)* Why every market (Toronto, Sydney, London, Seattle) faces the same “Silicon Valley problem.”* The importance of domestic liquidity and secondary markets over chasing US LPs.* Why returns, not international capital, will ultimately scale Canadian firms.AI and the Future of Venture Careers (44:44)* The ATM analogy: AI will eliminate tasks, not jobs.* Why the role of the investor becomes more important as noise and froth increase.* How family offices are shifting their mix between fund investing and direct deals.Retail Access to Private Markets: Feature or Bug? (53:27)* Why illiquidity in private markets is a feature, not a bug.* The absurdity of allowing crypto “shitcoins” but blocking friends from investing in startups.* Why “401k-entrance” to private equity is a bigger story than retail venture access.About the GuestsPeter Walker is the Senior Director of Insights at Carta, where he leads the team responsible for analyzing data from over 60,000 companies and 3,000+ venture funds.

Executive Summary This episode opens a multi-part series on one of the most emotionally loaded words in personal finance: retirement. Kim Butler and Spencer Shaw start at the foundation, examining what the word actually means, why Kim resists it, and what the math really says about the most common retirement savings targets. Kim establishes the core problem: expenses triple over 30 years, not because prices rise arbitrarily, but because the dollar is worth less. Inflation at 3% compounding over three decades transforms today's lifestyle into a figure three times larger. Add longevity into the equation and the challenge grows steeper. Life insurance companies are already pricing policies to age 121, and Kim projects that listeners in their 30s and 40s may reach 120, 130, even 140. The episode also covers the efficient debt framework, where Kim explains why a mortgage at 8% or below is a good loan and why cash outside the home is almost always more valuable than home equity. The episode tackles the 4% rule directly. Once accepted as a reliable withdrawal guideline, it has been quietly revised downward to 3.5%, 3%, and in some conversations 2.5%, while pundits on the other end are telling people they can safely take 5.5%. Todd Langford's analysis of a $2 million portfolio showed it running out in as few as 14 to 15 years, leaving a 65-year-old potentially without income at 80. Kim and Spencer also address the emotional and psychological dimensions of stopping work entirely, making the case that retirement is not just a financial risk. For many people, it may be a health risk too.

[00:01:50 - 00:02:55] Spencer frames what people are actually doing: moving to Mexico, selling the house, working until 90. [00:03:18 - 00:05:13] Kim details why expenses triple: inflation at 3%, compounding lifestyle costs, and the example of her father in his mid-80s. [00:05:13 - 00:06:17] Spencer pushes back: is it rising expenses, or a dollar worth less? Kim confirms it is the dollar. [00:06:17 - 00:07:17] Kim explains efficient debt: why a mortgage at 8% or below is a good loan and why home equity is not the same as cash. [00:07:17 - 00:09:17] Kim walks through a real client scenario: $400K liquid vs. paying off the mortgage, and why cash wins. [00:09:17 - 00:11:25] Spencer presents three retirement target tiers: $800K, $1.46M, $2.67M and asks Kim to weigh in. [00:10:20 - 00:12:00] Kim addresses the Dave Ramsey $2.5M endorsement and Todd Langford's math showing it running out in 14-15 years. [00:11:25 - 00:14:59] Kim explains the 4% withdrawal rule, its quiet downward revisions, and why linear math fails in a time-based system. [00:15:00 - 00:17:07] Kim and Spencer address the human cost: purpose, physical health, and the psychological and physiological identity tied to work.

Can 4 Volts of Electricity Replace 60 Bars of Pressure in Seawater Desalination? ilion Water Technologies is a 2025 spinout from the Physics Laboratory of the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. Their VIRO (Voltage-Induced Reverse Osmosis) technology claims to replace the high-pressure pump train in seawater desalination with an alternating electric field applied to engineered composite membranes, operating at atmospheric pressure.
Ryan and David break down a week where war hit markets, and the safe-haven playbook broke down. Oil spiked, gold failed, bonds sold off, the dollar caught the flight to safety, and crypto somehow bounced right through it. Then they unpack Trump's public pressure campaign against banks over stablecoin yield, Kraken's historic Fedwire breakthrough, and why crypto is starting to look less like an outsider and more like part of the financial core. Plus: Anthropic vs. the Pentagon, Erik Voorhees' private AI push with Venice, fresh Aave governance drama, ZachXBT helping catch the $46M government crypto thief, and the New York Times calling crypto dead right on schedule. ---

Singapore shares rose today as investors continue to mull global developments including the upcoming Jackson Hole Economic Symposium. The Straits Times Index was up 0.63% at 4,213.79 points at 2pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$971.46M seen in the broader market.

That’s after the investment holding company said yesterday that it will be the anchor investor in a S$100 million fund by ICH Asset Management, led by the Singapore-listed company’s former chief executive Vincent Toe. Elsewhere, from what promising diplomatic signals toward ending hostilities between Russia and Ukraine could mean for investors, to how SoftBank has agreed to buy US$2 billion in Intel stock – more international and corporate headlines remained in focus. On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Thilan Wickramasinghe, Head of Equity Research, Maybank Securities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
You know who always asks for a discount?

Glenn Beck Special. WARNING: The Sinister Plan to SABOTAGE Trump's Deportations. Tom Homan The Trump resistance is expanding outward from the courts to the streets as Democrats have decided to make their latest phony stance all about ICE and deportations. In this episode, Glenn Beck breaks down the Left's latest coordinated push to destabilize America. When Democrats lose elections, their strategy apparently isn't to win back voters — it's to storm ICE facilities, defend criminal illegal immigrants, and accuse law enforcement of brutality. While they champion open borders and compare themselves to Civil Rights heroes, they lose their minds over 59 white South Africans being admitted as refugees. It's all about ideology, not compassion. Glenn outlines how the Left's obsession with race and Marxist ideology, combined with the planning sessions of Democratic governors, is setting the stage for the Left's next mass street action. Are we headed for another 2020-like summer of “mostly peaceful” riots? White House border czar Tom Homan joins “Glenn TV” to address dangerous rhetoric from Democrat leaders like Rep. Swalwell (Calif.) and Gov. Walz (Minn.), the debate over due process in deportations, the success of the administration's self-deportation program, and the case of the Brazilian American accidentally detained by ICE.

For the past 40 years, Tom Ramos has been a physicist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). For the past few years Tom has been conducting research and writing a history of the early years of the Cold War, and the nuclear weapons program of LLNL. Through interviews with historical figures and with extensive research into top secret archives, he has brought out new perspectives of the Cold War that have been little understood until now. His efforts were rewarded with the publication of his book, From Berkeley to Berlin.Tom created several programs in the 1990s that served the Defense Department. Most notable among them, starting with a $200K grant, Tom created the Counterproliferation Analysis and Planning System (CAPS), which helped military operators analyze facilities manufacturing weapons of mass destruction in hostile countries. The program grew into a $46M a year enterprise and was declared to be the Defense Department's premier counterproliferation program by Secretary of Defense William Cohen. Another significant program that Tom started was the Homeland Defense Operational Planning System (HOPS), a program like CAPS, but steered towards analyses to protect America's critical infrastructure.In the 1980's Tom was a nuclear weapons designer in the Laboratory's X-Ray Laser Program, which supported President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative. In the program's last nuclear test, Tom led a team of physicists who designed the program's brightest laser. In the late 1980s Tom joined a committee helping to prepare the government for START negotiations and he prepared a daily summary sheet for the Secretary of Energy to use at NSC meetings on the resumption of START Talks. Later Tom was assigned to the Pentagon as the legislative affairs officer for the Congressionally mandated Nuclear Weapons Council. Tom's duties included preparing the Council for Congressional hearings.Prior to joining the Laboratory, and after graduating from West Point and MIT, Tom served as a combat engineer and was later an associate professor of physics at West Point, New York, where he taught each of the physics department's core courses, as well as electives in Quantum Mechanics and Nuclear Physics.EPISODE NOTES:Follow NucleCast on Twitter at @NucleCastEmail comments and story suggestions to NucleCast@anwadeter.orgSubscribe to NucleCast podcastRate the show
