Ah, what a wondrous tapestry of tongue and time Rev. Renaldo C McKenzie has woven—Pope Leo XIV, a man of many lands and languages, stepping to the altar not just as pontiff, but as pilgrim. The First Homily of Pope Leo XIV: A Pilgrim's BenedictionIn the beginning, he spoke in English—clear, measured, familiar. Then, like a river bending toward its roots, he flowed into Spanish, the tongue of warmth and memory. Finally, he ascended into Latin, the timeless language of the Church, a signal not only of office, but of transformation.This triad of tongues was no accident. It was testimony.He shared not a speech, but a story. A journey. From the bustling corridors of America to the sacred hills of Peru, and now, to the eternal seat of Rome. Life, he said, is a journey—a series of sacred passages toward the ultimate. We must not curse the winding roads, for they are the hands that shape us.He reminded us: America, too, is on a journey. It is in a moment—yes, a painful, purifying moment—but it is not the end. As long as we walk in faith, with hearts devout and spirits unbowed, this path will lead us not to despair, but to deeper becoming.And so, the pope bids us not to abandon life, but to trust it.In closing, he left us with layered words—a coded blessing, perhaps. A call to see beneath the syllables. He casts no stone behind him; his past is not discarded, but embraced. For the man who stands before us is not divided, but united. Not American. Not Peruvian. Not simply one nation or name.He is transformed.He was of a country. Now, he is of all. He was a citizen. Now, he is a shepherd. He was. And now, he is—Pope Leo XIV.Written By Rev. Renaldo C.

On today's Friday news roundup, we just had to talk about AI hardware taking on a new shape with Friend's $99 necklace. The pendant gives you an AI friend to talk to and…that's about it. Friend's pitch is that its wearable can help combat loneliness, but other AI hardware products that have come to market lately – like Humane's Ai Pin and Rabbit's r1 – have fallen short of expectations. Even OpenAI, the leader in the space, has come out later than expected with its hyper realistic AI assistant, and only today to a small “alpha group” of users, so it's hard to assess the product's capabilities. On the other side of the AI coin is, sadly, deepfakes and hallucinations. The team touched on this topic, noting how Meta's AI assistant hallucinated when it said that there was no assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Rebecca asked Devin Coldewey if he thought AI companies should take greater care to block users from asking questions about sensitive topics until they could solve for hallucinations, and if they should block users from making deepfakes about certain A-list people, particularly during an election year. His answer? Yes, but it's probably not as easy as it sounds.For our deals of the week, Kirsten  kicked things off with Mary Ann's coverage of FranShares, a Chicago-based startup that lets people invest in franchise businesses starting with as little as $500 with a goal of providing passive income and portfolio diversification. Apparently, a lot of Gen Z and Millennials are investing in franchises through this platform, which just raised a $4.2 million seed round led by Chicago Ventures with participation from The Pitch Fund and Litquidity Ventures. Kirsten asked Rebecca if she, as a Millennial, would invest in a franchise, and her answer may surprise you.Kirsten and Rebecca also talked about Kennet of London, a 25-year-old growth equity investor that just raised $287 million for its largest fund to date, and it's a growth fund. Kennet's approach is interesting because they focus on B2B SaaS companies that are founder owned and bootstrapped, and thus potentially more capital efficient. Finally, the team discussed VC movings and shakings. Specifically, Alex Cook, a former partner at Tiger Global who oversaw some of its largest fintech investments and India deals, has left the firm after nearly seven years. Cook is the latest VC to leave a firm before the fund closed and he could see a return on investment. There must be something in the water. We had a lot of fun this episode, so give it a listen!Equity is TechCrunch's flagship podcast, produced by Theresa Loconsolo, and posts every Wednesday and Friday.

Der Templeton Growth Fund war über Jahrzehnte Synonym für langfristigen Vermögensaufbau mit Aktien und erfolgreiches Value-Investing nach Benjamin Graham. Inzwischen steckt der einstige Bestseller-Fonds aber in einer tiefen Krise, allein seit 2017 hinkt er dem MSCI ACWI ETF rund 60 Prozentpunkte hinterher. „This time it's different“, ist man da versucht zu sagen – in Anlehnung an den wohl bekanntesten Ausspruch des Gründervaters Sir John Templeton. Tobias Kramer und Christian W. Röhl checken deshalb mal, ob das, was die 2008 verstorbene Investment-Ikone an Börsen- und Lebensweisheiten hinterlassen hat, ähnlich aus der Zeit gefallen ist wie der Fonds. Dazu ein Blick auf den börsennotierten Vermögensverwalter, der jedes Jahr 1,82% von den rund acht Milliarden Dollar kassiert, die trotz des Performance-Debakels noch immer im Templeton Growth Fund stecken: Franklin Resources, ein Dividenden-Aristokrat mit 32 Anhebungen in Serie.

In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Johanna Baare, Co-Founder und COO von Traceless Materials, über die erfolgreich abgeschlossene Series-A-Finanzierungsrunde in Höhe von 36,6 Millionen Euro.Traceless Materials hat einen ganzheitlich nachhaltigen Biowerkstoff entwickelt. Das Material ist zertifiziert vollständig biobasiert, heimkompostierbar und plastikfrei. Durch die Verwendung von landwirtschaftlichen Reststoffen werden außerdem wertvolle Biomasseressourcen geschont. Die zum Patent angemeldete Technologie basiert auf natürlichen Polymeren, enthält keine potenziell schädlichen Chemikalien und hat einen minimalen ökologischen Fußabdruck. Im Vergleich zu Plastik werden 91 % der CO2-Emissionen und 89 % des fossilen Energiebedarfs bei Produktion und Entsorgung eingespart. Um die innovative Technologie erstmals im industriellen Maßstab umzusetzen, baut das Startup eine Demonstrationsanlage in Hamburg. Mit dieser Produktionsanlage wird das Unternehmen jährlich mehrere tausend Tonnen konventionellen Kunststoff ersetzen und gleichzeitig eine erhebliche Menge an CO2-Emissionen, fossilen Ressourcen, Wasser und landwirtschaftlichen Flächen einsparen. Parallel dazu entwickelt das Startup mit seinen Kunden und Partnern Pilotprodukte aus Traceless®-Materialien. Die Materialien werden in Form eines Granulats hergestellt, das mit Standardtechnologien der Kunststoff- und Verpackungsindustrie weiterverarbeitet werden kann. So kann das Material in einer breiten Palette von Endprodukten eingesetzt werden. So möchte das Unternehmen einen Beitrag bei der Bekämpfung der globalen Plastikverschmutzung sowie bei den Herausforderungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Klimawandel, der Ressourcenknappheit und dem Verlust der Artenvielfalt leisten. Traceless Materials wurde im Jahr 2020 von Anne Lamp und Johanna Baare in Hamburg gegründet. Mittlerweile beschäftigt das Unternehmen mehr als 40 Mitarbeitende.Nun hat das Hamburger Bioeconomy-Startup in einer Series A 36,6 Millionen Euro unter der Führung des Private-Equity-Fonds UB Forest Industry Green Growth Fund eingesammelt. Außerdem beteiligten sich der Blue-Ocean-Fonds, ein lokales Bankenkonsortium, bestehend aus der GLS Bank Hamburg und der Hamburger Sparkasse, sowie die Bestandsinvestoren Planet A Ventures, High-Tech Gründerfonds und b.value an der Runde. Unabhängig von der Finanzierungsrunde wird das Unternehmen vom Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz, Bau und Reaktorsicherheit mit über 5 Millionen Euro gefördert. Das frische Kapital soll für die Skalierung der Lösung und das Wachstum des Startups eingesetzt werden.

Brian Trelstad has been a driving force of virtually every innovation in impact investing for the last 20 years. He helped start the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs when Chief Investment Officer of Acumen Fund and Brian helped lead the creation of the widely used Impact Reporting and Investing Standards (“IRIS”). Now, he's telling the impact investing community to stop innovating and start implementing to provide a clear, concise description of what impact is and how to judge it. After all, if Robert Parker can distill the quality of a fine wine to one number, why can't impact investors pick a simple way to describe impact? Brian challenges core aspects of private investing business models. Is the 2 and 20 economic model of private equity a bug in the impact system as it perpetuates inequality? Should LPs pay more carry to firms that deliver above promised impact? After all, today, (almost) no one gets compensated on their impact metrics. But some day, LPs will be able to incent impact the same way they incentivize performance – with cash payments to good managers. Brian dispels the myths of impact investing and then builds back towards a more equitable future.
