Send us Fan Mail4 family offices. 4 completely different strategies. One honest conversation about where serious capital is going right now.In this panel from the Single Family Office Summit, a family office principal who built his wealth through Silicon Valley tech exits breaks down why he calls his approach "boring" - and why that's the point. Private credit, real estate, and a floor of steady income that funds high-conviction angel bets in defense tech. Another panelist explains how his family invests based on stories - backing art and crypto not as speculation but as instruments of human nature. A family office representative managing two generations shares what's next in energy, water, and why the next generation of chips will use 70 percent less energy and reshape the entire data center thesis. And a multifamily office founder makes the case that AI already changed the game - one analysis that used to take 60 hours now takes 5 minutes - and that the real edge today is at the intersection of investing and tax.Family Office Club has hosted 300+ investor events over 19 years, with 16 million registered members and over $1 billion in community transactions.

Send us Fan MailThe final segment of this Single Family Office Summit panel delivers some of the most practical insights of the day. A brand strategist and communications founder opens with a direct challenge to anyone raising capital: stop leading with everything you do. Investors have roughly eight seconds of attention available. Lead with what matters to them, earn the next minute, and work from there.A cross-border family office advisor follows with a framework for working with Asian capital: lead with relationships not transactions, recognize that every family defines risk and value differently, and always address the opportunity cost question head-on. The session closes with an investor's core operating principle - the most limited resource in business isn't capital, it's attention. Knowing how to balance short-term execution with long-term strategic vision is the question that separates operators from builders.Recorded at the Single Family Office Summit, hosted by Family Office Club - the largest investor club in the family office space. 19 years, 300+ events, 16 million registered members, 18.5 million social followers.

Send us Fan MailWhat do you actually learn after scaling and selling a major platform? In this episode, two investors who have done it give their most honest answers. The first says the single rule that has never failed him is this: if a co-investor won't put their own money in, he walks. Trust and aligned incentives aren't nice-to-haves. They're the entire filter.The second shares the structural lesson his institutional capital partner taught him during a major platform build: think about what you're building as if you'll own it for 100 years. Companies built for the long term generate the kind of cash flow that attracts serious buyers when the time comes - and the ones that don't rarely find a clean exit.Recorded at the Single Family Office Summit, hosted by Family Office Club - 19 years, 300+ events hosted, and over $1 billion in community transactions.

Send us Fan MailThis CIO co-founded a housing-focused investment firm after scaling one of the largest single-family rental platforms in the country alongside a major institutional capital partner. The playbook hasn't changed: find fragmented, alternative residential asset classes where institutional-quality operations haven't yet arrived, and build the platform that gets them there.In this episode, he breaks down why student housing and senior housing are the firm's most active deployment targets right now - and why the national narrative on student housing misses what's actually happening at the market and school level. He also explains the platform-building DNA behind the firm's strategy, why cash flow drives every underwriting decision, and what "doing well and doing good" actually looks like when you're investing in housing for underserved residents.Recorded at the Single Family Office Summit, hosted by Family Office Club - 300+ events, 16 million registered members, and over $1 billion in community transactions.

Send us Fan MailNo Bitcoin position is not a neutral position anymore. Richard Wilson sits down with Eric Runge, a Bitcoin-focused RIA founder and active Family Office Club member, in a conversation that started the same week a $1.5 billion trust company reached out to Family Office Club asking who in the community specializes in institutional Bitcoin strategy.Family Office Club has run 300+ investor events over 19 years for a 16 million member community, and this episode breaks down how family offices are actually approaching Bitcoin today: on-chain versus ETF exposure, sizing frameworks, custody decisions, the payment-rail case via Square, and why "no position" has quietly become a position of its own. Eric also shares the step-by-step process he walks families through before they buy a single Bitcoin, and his framework for separating real use cases from hype.Join us at the Family Office Club Silicon Valley Summit on September 24, 2026 in Sunnyvale, CA to connect with investors having this exact conversation live: https://familyoffices.com Eric Runge: focuses on helping family offices and high-net-worth investors understand and manage Bitcoin exposure familyofficebitcoin.com | eric@veritaswealth.nethttps://familyoffices.com/

We also covered what a corporate venture capital group is and how to find one inside a large company, how deal origination teams at private equity firms work, and how to use the FOC Investor Pipeline Builder to find the top 50 investor leads in any city by industry focus.Additionally we covered the value-first relationship strategy for building connections with centimillionaires and billionaires - including a real example of a member who approached a high-net-worth individual by simply saying how can I help you and built a meaningful relationship from that conversation.We also discussed using Claude to scan and summarize bootcamp notes, the FOC AI operating system now being rebranded as Hyper Intelligent, and the launch of Dr. Dewey - our Dewey Instant Due Diligence tool adapted specifically for doctors and dentists evaluating medical, healthcare, and investment deals.Upcoming events mentioned: Silicon Valley Summit September 24th and the Family Office Super Summit in Fort Lauderdale December 15th to 17th with 112 speakers over 3 days.Family Office Club is the largest investor club in the family office space.

Send us Fan MailThis investor didn't start in energy. He started as a real estate borrower, learned the mechanics of private lending from the inside, and then made a deliberate decision to become the lender. Today, his firm deploys capital into residential real estate loans and has quietly built a portfolio of strategic energy investments - including a hydrogen technology company that has earned recognition from the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and produced a Fulbright Scholars Award-winning researcher.In this episode, he explains the principle that guides every pivot: only enter an investment when your existing resources, network, and experience create real mutual benefit - not just financial return. He also shares why he doesn't consider himself an angel investor despite operating in one of the most active startup markets in the country.Recorded at the Single Family Office Summit, hosted by Family Office Club - 19 years, 300+ events, 16 million registered members.

Send us Fan MailThis investor's edge isn't capital - it's communication. As a brand strategist and communications founder, she has helped take companies to multi-billion dollar IPOs and record-breaking public market debuts. She backs founders she believes in and uses brand strategy to amplify their growth from the inside. Her investment thesis is simple: if a company can't connect on a human level, the product doesn't matter.In this episode, she introduces the B2H framework - Business to Human - and explains why the most common mistake she sees from founders is leading with everything they do instead of what the investor actually cares about. She breaks down why eight seconds is all you have to make an impression, and what a memorable soundbite actually looks like in a capital-raising context.Recorded at the Single Family Office Summit, hosted by Family Office Club - the largest investor club in the family office space with 300+ events hosted over 19 years.

Send us Fan MailWe just had a billionaire keynote at our Capital Raising Bootcamp here in Dallas at the RSM offices. He has a couple of publicly traded companies and spent 40 years building his portfolio. Here are the notes I wanted to share from what he said on stage.Build a super diverse skill set. You have to be a decathlete to be successful raising capital, building a platform, and scaling something.Underwrite conservatively. If a deal does not make sense and you do not even know why - back away. Say no. Be conservative. Do not load up on too much debt.Do right by investors by not overpromising. Instead of saying this is the best deal in the world - start with the problems. Start with the issues. Say here is what I am going to do and here is why I am confident. That is more transparent, more authentic, and it actually works better.Be passionate and high energy. If you are not passionate about what you are doing why should anyone else care? Tone of voice matters. A billionaire said that. To me that was super interesting because so many people are so focused on the hard parts - IRR, LTV, debt rates - and miss the human side of closing deals.Family offices are medium and long-term focused. In his case he wants cash flow from day one and needs to see a path to a billion dollars. And he thinks about every relationship as a long-term one. He will give the other side a slight win in a tough negotiation because his real win is doing ten deals with that person. He wants to be the first phone call next time they sell a portfolio - not the last. That is the family office mindset. It is a small world. People talk. Word gets around.To access billionaire talks, centimillionaire talks, advanced due diligence strategies, deal structure strategies, and fireside chats search inside the Family Office Club member portal at familyoffices.com.______________________________________________________________________https://familyoffices.com/

Send us Fan MailAfter 11 years working across two single family offices in industries spanning oil and gas, media, sports, and healthcare, this advisor launched her own boutique family office advisory firm. In under a year, she onboarded three Asian family clients and is now actively helping them allocate into U.S. markets - including a live mandate from a Hong Kong family office for positions in major private technology companies.In this episode, she shares how cross-border family office advising actually works - the role of trust, the challenge of translating not just language but risk perception, and why Asian families define risk as permanent capital loss rather than market volatility. She also flags a major macro signal most U.S. investors aren't watching closely enough: a $140 billion government push into venture capital in Asia and what that means for regional stock exchange access.Recorded at the Single Family Office Summit, hosted by Family Office Club - 19 years, 300+ events, 16 million registered members, and over $1 billion in community transactions.

Send us Fan MailThis investor has spent decades doing one thing: buying right. From a 10,000-unit apartment portfolio sold to a major real estate buyer, to a pharmaceutical company purchased for $18M and exited at $358M, to two insurance companies flipped for significant returns - the track record is built on cash flow, not speculation. In this episode, he shares his full investment history and explains why today's market has made it nearly impossible to find the kinds of companies he used to target.With interest rates reshaping private equity valuations and private credit crowding out traditional buyers, he breaks down exactly where he's looking now: LP secondaries, continuation funds, and public market alternatives that offer the same exposure at a discount.

Send us Fan MailMost athletes talk about what they've done. These four are talking about what they're building next. Dan wants capital partners to scale multifamily across Dallas over the next decade. Alvin is looking for partners with intelligence, initiative, and integrity for syndications and M&A. Otis has a vision for a micro wellness resort - saunas, cold plunge, health tech, community, built into land outside Austin. And Bronson wants to keep connecting people to the tax and family office strategies that change how athletes think about money.This is the closing segment of one of the most candid pro athlete panels Family Office Club has hosted in 19 years and 300+ events.

And a stranger in Home Depot delivered a message that changed the direction of his business. Otis Grigsby played 6 years in the NFL, practiced law at large firms for 6 years, and is now part-legal, part-growth, part-strategy at his wife's health tech marketing agency - and watching ChatGPT recommend their services to strangers without any programming on their end.In this episode, Otis delivers one of the most honest 10 minutes on this stage: fear is an absolute killer, it paralyzes your training, it makes you forget everything you've built - and it shows up daily whether you have a two-year-old at home or a nine-figure deal on the table. He talks about missing the Bitcoin run, what Christmas in big law looks like when IBM needs a deal closed, and the four-month delay before he finally followed the advice that unlocked his business.

Send us Fan Mail8% of pro athletes are broke within 3 years of retirement. Dan Breezy watched it happen to his friends and decided to do something different. After multiple X Games gold medals in urban snowboarding, he took the same "inch wide, mile deep" focus that made him one of the best in the world at one discipline - and applied it to becoming one of the best value-add multifamily operators in Dallas-Fort Worth, working alongside mentors like Ken McElroy and Bobby Castro.In this episode, Dan breaks down the visualization principle that let him land tricks he had never attempted before - seeing it perfectly in his mind's eye before he ever hit the jump. He connects that directly to real estate underwriting: if you can't see the answer clearly, stay back. He shares the painful lesson of running too optimistically without accounting for market cycles, how to structure debt based on where you are in the cycle, and why getting crushed in taxes as an athlete was the catalyst for everything.

Send us Fan MailMost people think diversification means spreading your attention. Alvin calls it focused diversity - mastering one thing per day so that by Sunday, you have a full tool belt. That framework took him from the NFL and CFL to aerospace engineering to running operations on the M&A side, taking $10 million companies to $100 million valuations, while building a ground-up 4-unit multifamily development in Los Angeles.In this episode, Alvin Scioneaux, Jr. unpacks the three I's that have driven every career move: intelligence (sharpening your mindset), initiative (moving before you're ready), and integrity (your environment - you are the average of the five people around you). He shares his biggest financial lesson - partnering with people who don't carry all three - and breaks down what he's currently building in real estate syndications and M&A.

Send us Fan Mail Hi, Richard Wilson here, founder of Family Office Club. I just wrapped our Monthly Live Forum on AI, and I wanted to make sure this one actually gets used, not just watched.Here's what I walked through in this session: why context engineering matters two to three times more than prompt engineering right now, and how to actually build it into your own workflow instead of just chatting with ChatGPT or Claude like it's a search engine. I showed you the three levels of AI maturity most founders get stuck at level one on, and how we built what I call "Intelligence Centers," one Claude project per role on my team, each with four to seven tools built specifically for that person's job. No more guessing which tool to use for what.I also introduced you to Clara, our AI pitch architect who will critique your one-liner, your pitch deck, and your due diligence questionnaire against 1,500 investor talks recorded on our stages. And Dewey and Vetti, our due diligence and real estate stress-testing tools that can rank ten pitch decks against each other in minutes. I explained why a one-line pitch, a 60 to 90 second founder video, and a 30-question due diligence FAQ will put you ahead of 99% of the people currently raising capital, because almost nobody has all three in place.We also got into real questions from the room: how to structure a deal when you don't have a track record or a full team yet, how family offices actually vet trust before they'll wire you a dollar, and why the relationship matters roughly twice as much as the merit of the deal itself.A little about us, so you know why I'm confident saying any of this: I started Family Office Club 19 years ago in 2007. We've hosted 300+ investor events, we host 30+ events a year across the US, we've got 16 million registered members across our LinkedIn groups, 18.5 million followers across social, and our community has closed over $1 billion in deals together. We built 50+ AI tools specifically for founders and investors, based on 1,500 investor talks from our own stages, not random internet data.If you want the full deployment kit for what I showed here, meaning the exact Claude project instructions, prompts, and skills my team uses daily, or you want to see our next event schedule, here's how:Apply for membership and unlock the AI tools + member portal: https://FamilyOffices.com/JoinSee our next in-person investor event: https://FamilyOffices.comDrop your biggest AI or capital-raising question in the comments below and I will personally reply.

The intros lead directly into a live deal breakdown on distressed office space: a 200,000 sq ft Chicago building that traded at $25M bought for $2.5M, and a 390,000 sq ft downtown Chicago building that was a $160M deal acquired for $18.5M.

Send us Fan MailIn this presentation, Richard C. Wilson breaks down the “Family Office Chessboard” approach — a strategy for building leverage through strategic partnerships, multi-dimensional assets, choke points, distribution, and niche monopoly positioning.Instead of simply buying cash flow, Richard explains how family offices and serious operators can design their own game board, acquire strategic assets, create information advantages, and build relationships that compound over time.Topics include adding value first, moving from operator to owner, building self-liquidating lead generation, using media and events as strategic assets, creating niche monopolies, and identifying choke points that can transform an entire business model.https://familyoffices.com/

Over the past 19 years, we've hosted 300+ live events, produced 3,000+ videos, and built an audience of over 18.5 million followers.Here's what we're seeing right now…AI is making it incredibly easy to create written content—but that's exactly why it's becoming less valuable.In this new environment, authenticity matters more than perfection. And video content is much harder to fake, replicate, or mass-produce at scale.That's why we're shifting heavily toward video—short form, long form, event clips, and direct investor communication.If you're building a content funnel, raising capital, or growing your platform, I'd strongly recommend focusing 5x more on video than you did just a few years ago.You can always turn video into articles, white papers, and AI training data—but starting with video gives you a real edge.If you want to connect with Richard C.
