Matt Venturi, Founder and CEO of ClearingBid, Inc., is changing that. With decades of Wall Street experience, he saw firsthand how outdated systems and entrenched practices created barriers for smaller investors. Now, he's pioneering a platform that levels the playing field, allowing everyone to participate in IPOs through their brokers, breaking down long-standing financial barriers."What we're really doing is allowing everybody to come in at that IPO price and be able to have their order seen and recognized," Matt explained. Traditionally, Wall Street has prioritized its biggest institutional clients, giving them first access to newly issued stock at a discounted price, while retail investors are left to buy shares in the secondary market at inflated prices. ClearingBid is disrupting this system by introducing transparency, connectivity, and inclusion—core values that drive the company's mission.For companies going public, ClearingBid offers a revolutionary approach to capital raising. Rather than relying solely on institutional investors, companies can now cast a wider net, tapping into affinity investor groups and everyday market participants. This shift not only democratizes access but also builds a more engaged and loyal shareholder base. Matt pointed to Reddit's IPO as a cautionary tale: "Only 7% of that offering ended up going to Reddit users—93% went to the big institutions. Those who wanted in on the IPO were left buying shares later at higher prices."Beyond its innovation in IPOs, ClearingBid is proving the power of regulated investment crowdfunding. The company raised $5 million from 3,900 investors in a campaign that far exceeded expectations. "At first, I wasn't sure it was the right approach for us, but it turned out to be an incredibly positive experience," Matt shared. "Our investors aren't just backers—they're evangelists. They believe in our mission and help us spread the word."With the success of its crowdfunding campaign and its game-changing IPO platform, ClearingBid is poised to shake up Wall Street. By opening access to IPOs for all investors, Matt Venturi isn't just leading a company—he's leading a movement.tl;dr:* Matt Venturi is revolutionizing the IPO market by making it accessible to retail investors through ClearingBid.* Traditional IPOs favor institutional investors, but ClearingBid aims to create a more inclusive and transparent system.* Matt raised $5 million via regulated investment crowdfunding, demonstrating the power of affinity investors.* His superpower, passion and conviction, fuels his ability to challenge industry norms and drive meaningful change.* Entrepreneurs can learn from Matt's success by mastering fundamentals, rallying support, and leading with enthusiasm.How to Develop Passion and Conviction As a SuperpowerMatt Venturi's superpower is passion and conviction. Throughout his career, from Wall Street to entrepreneurship, he has harnessed these qualities to push forward transformative change in the financial industry. "You have to be passionate about what you do," Matt said. "When you're speaking to something that you truly believe in, that conviction gives you the confidence to go toe-to-toe with the best in the industry."One of the most compelling stories that illustrates Matt's passion occurred as he worked to launch ClearingBid. Many skeptics doubted whether he could challenge Wall Street's entrenched system of IPO allocations, questioning if a more inclusive approach could truly work. But instead of backing down, he leaned into his conviction, tirelessly advocating for a system that allows retail investors to participate in IPOs at the same terms as institutional players. His relentless drive led to a $5 million crowdfunding raise and the launch of a platform poised to redefine capital markets.For those looking to develop passion and conviction as strengths, Matt offers key insights:* Master the Fundamentals – A strong foundation in your field provides the confidence to take bold steps.* Surround Yourself with Supporters – Find a team and a community that believes in your mission.* Be a Cheerleader – Lead with enthusiasm, especially in tough times.* Welcome Skepticism – Use criticism as fuel to refine and strengthen your approach.* Celebrate Wins, Learn from Setbacks – Resilience is essential for maintaining conviction over the long haul.By following Matt Venturi's example and advice, you can make passion and conviction a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Synopsis: Josh Wolfe is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Lux Capital, a venture capital firm that invests in emerging science and technology ventures. Josh joins us for a discussion centered around investing in biotech. He discusses the arc of his career and the forces that led him to pursue a path at the intersection of science and finance. Josh also talks about the current state of biotech investing, trends he expects to see in the future, his advice to founder-led biotech companies, what he believes are the top three criteria for success for biotech companies, and his thoughts on the future of biotech. It's an illuminating conversation you won't want to miss. Biography: Josh co-founded Lux Capital to support scientists and entrepreneurs who pursue counter-conventional solutions to the most vexing puzzles of our time in order to lead us into a brighter future. The more ambitious the project, the better—like, say, creating matter from light. Josh is a Director at Shapeways, Strateos, Lux Research, Kallyope, CTRL-labs, Variant, and Varda, and helped lead the firm's investments in Anduril, Planet, Echodyne, Clarifai, Authorea, Resilience and Hadrian. He is a founding investor and board member with Bill Gates in Kymeta, making cutting-edge antennas for high-speed global satellite and space communications. Josh is a Westinghouse semi-finalist and published scientist. He previously worked in investment banking at Salomon Smith Barney and in capital markets at Merrill Lynch. In 2008 Josh co-founded and funded Kurion, a contrarian bet in the unlikely business of using advanced robotics and state-of-the-art engineering and chemistry to clean up nuclear waste. It was an unmet, inevitable need with no solution in sight. The company was among the first responders to the Fukushima Daiichi disaster. In February 2016, Veolia acquired Kurion for nearly $400 million—34 times Lux's total investment. Josh is a columnist with Forbes and Editor for the Forbes/Wolfe Emerging Tech Report. He has been invited to The White House and Capitol Hill to advise on nanotechnology and emerging technologies, and a lecturer at MIT, Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Columbia and NYU.

Salomon Brothers is back. One of the most storied names of 1980s Wall Street, immortalised in Michael Lewis's book Liar's Poker is a registered trademark once again and is planning to get into the financial markets.Travelers Group swallowed up the original Salomon Brothers in 1998, a firm which merged with Citi in the same year. Citigroup finally dropped the Salomon brand — by then Salomon Smith Barney — 19 years ago. There are some people around the capital markets today who worked at this legendary firm though, as the years go by, more people will have learned about it through books like Lewis's than through encounters with its former staff. So what is behind the revival?This week on the podcast we look into who is behind the venture and what they might do with the business. We also ask which famous but defunct City or Wall Street brands might be next.We also discuss the Bank of England's plans to unwind corporate quantitative easing and the bond market's reaction to it. We also examine how the rest of the primary bond market is adjusting to a world where interest rates are almost certainly on their way up for the long term — a set of circumstances that a whole generation of capital markets practitioners, just like working in a world where Salomon Brothers exists, has not experienced before.

The son of two doctors, Tom Fencl recalls that while growing up in communist Czechoslovakia, to him a free market economy was more “an intellectual curiosity” than a possible career destination. “When the Berlin Wall came down, I was midway through high school—it was a very formative experience,” remembers Fencl, who says that the historic happening suddenly released “a market economy spirit.” After studying at Prague’s University of Economics, Fencl says, he was “drawn to the big financial centers” and worked in London for 2 years at Stern Stuart & Co. as a consultant before heading to the University of Michigan for an MBA. “From a university standpoint, the University of Michigan may not be the most obvious place for a European to go—but they found me more than I found them,” explains Fencl, who notes that years earlier in Prague he had met students from the University of Michigan who were involved in a study of post-communist economies. “They were virtually the first MBA students that I had ever met,” he observes. From Michigan, he went directly to New York and Wall Street, where roughly 10 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall Czech-born and -raised Fencl became an investment banker. “I worked as sort of a traditional investment banker, meaning that I covered everything from capital market transactions to M&As,” says Fencl, who worked for Salomon Smith Barney (later acquired by Citigroup) and Bank of America. “I left Wall Street just before the 2008 meltdown,” he reports. “That was some lucky timing. I moved back to my home country, the Czech Republic, with my newborn and my wife, and there I joined a private equity boutique,” explains Fencl, who over the next 10 years migrated from what he describes as “transaction-driven” finance roles to more traditional CFO posts. “I joined Pricefx in Prague—which was its largest office and where a lot of the banking office functions are,” says Fencl, who was named CFO of the company in 2017 and subsequently relocated with his family back to the U.S.—a market that Pricefx now views as a primary source of future growth. –Jack Sweeney Fencl: To remind your listeners, we're a SaaS company. So that is a subset of the industry where there's one metric above all, which is ARR, annual recurring revenue, and more specifically the growth of ARR. And then you rank companies based on where they are. For the past few years, we've been somewhere around 80% year over year. So that's a pretty decent clip. Now, you ask what did I change since I arrived? I didn't have to introduce that. They were told already by the very first investors, "You need to watch your ARR growth." The thing that I had to work on doing, and it is obviously a cultural shift, is understanding that particularly when you're using other people's money, where you're not regulated by, do I have the cash or not ... Now, you have a lot of cash, but the right question is how are you deploying it? How efficiently are you using that capital? So, the metric that I had to work and make sure that the organization understand is payback, customer acquisition cost payback. So understanding how the growth ... How much did I have to spend to get that growth? And that of course is something that then leads to further analysis because you break down the metrics into its components. And that's something where you can't just buy the growth, right? You have to have a certain level of patience. Well, for us, we mentioned before that we just finished fundraising. So we have plenty of cash to give us the, what they say, runway; meaning, we don't have to worry immediately on the short-term of funding the business. But conversely, we need to deploy that capital and, what we say, that's to scale up. And as I was saying before about it's not just growth, but how efficiently it grows. So I guess the biggest priority is make sure that we deployed efficiently, that we do achieve the growth, but we do it in a way that will satisfy sort of the requirements of the return on capital. And to do that, one of the key areas of our focus today is work with data. There's obviously a lot of data in the business, but not all of it is structured perfectly. And not all of it is organized in the right way. So we're currently spending a lot of effort on making sure that we clean that up and that we, going forward, make the decisions based on data. Data-driven decision-making is a big priority internally.

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways “Venture capital is all about investing in people who are inventing the future. The people who are inventing the future tend to be technologists, engineers, and scientists – you have to be able to speak their language.”In venture investing, 1-2 investments usually return the whole fundAbout a third of the investments will be total dudsAdvice for recent college grads interested in being an entrepreneur:“Build your brand, be differentiated, be indispensable, stay close to the money, find where the capital is flowing, and stay close to it.”Also read A LOT – “And be voracious in your reading. I think you have to be exposed to so many things. This allows you to develop your passion and then from your passion develop an expertise and be able to stand out.”Be good to people – you never know when you might need someoneThe single best trait of an entrepreneur is somebody that can tell a story“They are the people that recruit talent. They are the people that can raise money. They are the people that garner attention and win deals and that is what makes the venture capital business.” Josh’s biggest failures are the things that have the permanence of regret“Choices I made, or relationships that I under-invested in, or people that I didn’t spend enough time with who passed… those to me are the biggest failures”You can lose money in an investment and make it right back in another, but you won’t always get that second chance if you lose a friendship/relationshipRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgBloomberg Opinion columnist Barry Ritholtz interviews Josh Wolfe, co-founder and managing partner at Lux Capital and a director at Shapeways, Strateos, Lux Research, Kallyope, CTRL-labs and Variant.

In Episode 37 of Hidden Forces, host Demetri Kofinas speaks with Josh Wolfe, co-founder of Lux Capital. Lux Capital is a venture firm that specializes in the hard sciences, supporting scientists and entrepreneurs who pursue counter-conventional solutions to the most vexing puzzles of our time. Josh is also a founding investor and board member with Bill Gates in Kymeta, which makes cutting-edge antennas for high-speed global satellite and space communications. He is a Westinghouse semi-finalist and published scientist who previously worked in investment banking at Salomon Smith Barney and in capital markets at Merrill Lynch. In 2008, Josh Wolfe co-founded and funded Kurion, a contrarian bet in the unlikely business of using advanced robotics and state-of-the-art engineering and chemistry to clean up nuclear waste. He is a columnist with Forbes who has lectured at MIT, Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, NYU and been invited to The White House and Capitol Hill to advise on nanotechnology and emerging technologies. The fields of science, technology, and investing are not new territory for Hidden Forces listeners. These are subjects that we have covered at length with previous guests, including Geoffrey West, Ray Monk, Robert Johnson, Christopher Cole, and Tim O'Reilly. Rarely, though, do we find ourselves in conversation with someone like Josh Wolfe, who has made a multi-billion dollar business of investing in and around ground-breaking technologies and innovations in the hard sciences. Some of these breakthroughs include artificial intelligence, advancements in medicine and biotechnology, gene editing, energy technology, and much, much more. In an effort to help us understand how he capitalizes on these breakthroughs, Josh Wolfe shares his unique perspective on investing with us, as well as his methodology for learning about the forces shaping our unknown future. What role does art play in informing our understanding of the world? How do we gain direction for our work from the insights provided to us by our passions? What information can we glean from the substance of our curiosities? How important are the presence of internal strife and discontentment in propelling us towards success? Can we learn to nurture our contrarian impulses in the face of our instinct to follow the herd? In a philosophical discussion that ranges from the material to the immaterial, Josh Wolfe inspires us to reckon with the paradox of our own humanity. Are we simply animals born in an indeterminate world whose mysteries we are helpless to uncover? Or, are life's greatest mysteries - the nature of reality and the hard problem of consciousness - open to same types of empirical analyses and reasoning that have propelled our species forward since the earliest days of human enlightenment?

He’s currently the Chief Economic Adviser at Allianz, chairs President Obama’s Global Development Council, a BloombergView columnist, and the New York Times best-selling author of ‘The Only Game in Town: Central Banks, Instability, and Avoiding the Next Collapse.’ He previously worked for the International Monetary Fund, Salomon Smith Barney, and served as the CEO of PIMCO, the world’s biggest bond fund.

But he’s gained a lot of valuable wisdom in his historic career and he shares a ton of that advice, which everyone can benefit from.
Join Jason Hartman and Andrew “Ranting Andy” Hoffman, Miles Franklin's Marketing Director, as they discuss the new game on Wall Street with its evil derivatives and destructive investment advice. Andy says Wall Street is no longer in the business of destroying retailers. Ever since the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, they've been in the business of destroying countries and taking power. Andy talks about Goldman-Sachs infiltration into political positions in other countries, and the infiltration into municipalities by other big Wall Street thugs, such as JP Morgan. For more details, please visit: www.JasonHartman.com. There is no more retail stock market and the consequence is record unemployment numbers. The government has been in bed with Wall Street and pushing out propaganda for years, but people are fed up with the game and the government is on the defensive. Andy also shares his expertise about the Gold Cartel and explains how the COMEX is a charade, controlled by the likes of Goldman-Sachs, causing people to lose confidence in the trades due to the wide spread between paper and physical gold. Andy warns that we need to protect ourselves as people become more disgruntled and distrusting, while the potential exists for the government to respond by tightening down the shackles with economic and perhaps even military martial law. Andy calls this the “end game” and people need to be prepared as citizens and nations lose their sovereignty. The paradigms that everyone has been taught about stock markets and home ownership don't apply anymore. Things are falling apart right now as the dollar continues to lose value through the non-stop printing presses. The only real money is in the form of gold and silver, and only if you own it physically. It's time to simplify. Andrew ("Andy") Hoffman, CFA, joined Miles Franklin as Marketing Director in October 2011. For a decade, he was a U.S.-based buy-side and sell-side analyst, most notably as an II-ranked oil service analyst at Salomon Smith Barney. Since 2002, his focus has been entirely on Precious Metals, and since 2007 has written under the moniker "Ranting Andy." Prior to joining the company, he spent five years working as an Investor Relations officer or consultant to numerous junior mining companies. An archive of Andy's "RANTS" can be found on the Miles Franklin Blog.
