Brandon Sedloff sits down with Mike Boggs of Revelation Partners and Justin Burden of Industry Ventures at the Venture Secondaries Summit to explore how venture secondaries have evolved from a tool for distressed sellers into an institutional liquidity engine for private markets. The conversation examines the specialist approach required to succeed in this opaque, relationship-driven market where transactions happen by appointment rather than on open exchanges. They discuss: - Why venture secondaries function as a third liquidity option beyond IPOs and M&A, particularly in healthcare where billion-dollar outcomes are considered large - How secondary buyers navigate competition from insider investors by serving as arm's-length pricing partners for founder share sales - The structural liquidity problem created by over $800 billion in unrealized healthcare value and trillions locked in tech, with secondary funds positioned to address this overhang - Why specialization in specific sectors or deal types is becoming essential as commoditization pressures generalist secondary funds - How the flight to quality means focusing capital on late-stage, proven companies rather than indexing across venture portfolios This episode offers private markets investors and operators a practical view of how venture secondaries create value in an environment where companies stay private longer and traditional exit paths remain constrained. Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:00:29) - Guest introductions and firm backgrounds (00:04:47) - Evolution of venture secondaries as liquidity (00:07:20) - What happens if IPOs and M&A return (00:11:28) - Specialists versus generalists in secondaries (00:13:04) - Secondaries as asset class or strategy (00:17:07) - Overcoming discount buyer perceptions (00:19:47) - Building conviction and underwriting (00:22:58) - Navigating competition from top VCs (00:25:32) - Educating the market on secondary options (00:29:52) - Liquidity challenges for the messy middle (00:33:17) - Transfer rights and insider preferences (00:38:22) - LP secondaries market maturation concerns (00:40:15) - Outlooks on the next 5 to 10 years (00:44:04) - What could stop the growth trajectory (00:47:42) - Competition and differentiation challenges (00:50:49) - Closing Links: Mike Boggs on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-boggs-7921343/ Justin Burden on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-burden-46120a/ Brandon Sedloff on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonsedloff/ Revelation Partners - https://revelation-partners.com/ Industry Ventures - https://www.industryventures.com/ Juniper Square - https://www.junipersquare.com/

Jeff Meade spent 20 years building companies. Then a friend asked him one question on a hike near Mount Fuji — what makes you happy? — and he couldn't answer it. That four-hour conversation led him to Paul Quinn College in Dallas, where he now serves as Chief Innovation Officer and runs a program with one non-negotiable rule: every student, regardless of major, must start and operate a real business before they graduate. No simulations. No worksheets. Real ventures, real customers, real failure. Every school says it wants future-ready students. Most are still teaching them how to pass tests. Jeff Meade decided that wasn't good enough — and built a venture-based learning model that turns a graduation requirement into the most practical education a student can get. If you're a school leader wondering whether entrepreneurship education belongs on your campus, this episode answers the question. ✅ What You'll Learn Why employers stopped wanting graduates who can pass tests — and what they're asking for instead How Paul Quinn structured a seed fund and advisor model so student ventures get real resources, not just pitch competitions Why this generation's biggest professional liability is their inability to talk to strangers — and what to do about it What a theoretical entrepreneurship curriculum gets wrong, and how venture-based learning fixes it How K–12 leaders can apply the same principles without a college-sized program

Supply chain technology is evolving rapidly, but cargo criminals are moving even faster. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton and Scott DeGroot are joined by Krenar Komoni (Founder & CEO of Tive) and Fernando Boom (Director of Transportation at Venture Metals +) to break down the massive shift from physical yard thefts to sophisticated, identity-based freight fraud. Fernando shares a thrilling firsthand account of how a family road trip turned into a real-time recovery mission for a hijacked $240,000 shipment of copper. While the driver successfully bypassed the physical bolt seals, covert tracking technology thwarted the heist and led to a first-degree felony arrest. Krenar pairs this narrative with over a decade of visibility expertise, unpacking how modern criminals leverage AI, chameleon carriers, fraudulent MC numbers, and double brokering to vanish with high-value freight. Moving past a reactive postmortem claims model, the panel outlines a definitive blueprint for proactive, layered defense. They explore how real-time telemetry, including route deviation alerts and light sensors, empowers logistics teams to stop fraud mid-transit. Scott DeGroot concludes by highlighting the critical enterprise costs of cargo loss, challenging shippers to audit their networks, tighten dock-level verifications, and eliminate the weak links that bad actors exploit.

The instant commerce company Gopuff delivers groceries and other must-haves to shoppers' homes within minutes of an online order. Co-founder and co-chief executive Yakir Gola tells Scottish Mortgage manager Tom Slater how he developed the business from a dorm-room experiment into a service relied on by millions, and the changes he's made to prepare for the next phase of growth.Background: Scottish Mortgage first invested in Gopuff in 2021.The US-based company speedily delivers groceries, hot coffee and alcohol, among other items, without charging premium prices. Unlike rivals that send gig workers to pick up goods from third-party stores, Gopuff runs its own warehouses. Gola explains how that decision, taken in the firm's early days, helps it deliver exactly what customers ordered and keeps its prices competitive with the major supermarkets.In this interview, Gola discusses Gopuff's partnerships with Amazon and Starbucks, why it has started offering free deliveries to US households receiving food stamps, and what's next on his to-do list.“Consumers are price-sensitive, so if [Gopuff] can match the prices they experience outside of the convenience category or get closer and closer to those price points, then that just brings more and more users to them,” says Tom Slater.Timecodes: 00:03 Coming up…00:48 Introduction02:28 Yakir Gola interview begins02:44 “5,000 products delivered in as fast as 15 minutes”03:31 Making the family business millions of dollars04:56 A better way to get stuff delivered07:20 Capital from California10:33 Keeping control of its own warehouses13:20 The FAM membership scheme14:44 Free deliveries to families on food stamps18:22 Fresh produce and everyday essentials21:06 Partnering with Starbucks23:37 An alliance with Amazon UK24:52 Focusing on the long term27:24 Recalibrating after Covid30:55 A lesson from Steve Jobs33:06 In growth mode, again35:15 Sharing ownership37:39 Drawing on expert advice41:13 Taking the hassle out of shopping44:09 Tom Slater on the investment case51:26 Podcast lookaheadGlossary (in order of mention): Instant commerce:The category of online retail focused on delivering goods within minutes of an order, rather than within hours or the next day.

Tom Dunleavy is Head of Venture at Varys Capital.In this episode, Tom walks us through his valuation framework for ETH. He offers a mental model where Ethereum is the vault filled with stablecoins, RWAs, and DeFi activity secured by it. But ETH is the lock--and the bigger the vault gets, the more valuable the lock has to be to protect it. Based on Ethereum's current onchain activity, Tom gets us to a fair value for ETH that's much higher than the price today. Furthermore, we discuss what happens to the price of ETH when Ethereum grows to $750B-$1T onchain by 2030.Tom insists the vault won't stop growing thanks to demand for stablecoins and RWAs—and that ETH, the lock, is simply due for a repricing.------

Silicon Valley spent big in California's primaries. Venture capitalists, artificial intelligence executives and tech billionaires poured tens of millions of dollars into races up and down the ballot, trying to influence who will regulate them. For the most part, their preferred candidates fell short, a sign of growing anti-tech sentiment among voters.

In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we explore why uncertainty feels so uncomfortable for so many of us and how we can build a healthier, more productive relationship with it. My guest this week is Scott Stirrett, author of The Uncertainty Advantage.Scott shares how his own experiences navigating major career risks, leading a national nonprofit and managing anxiety during the pandemic shaped his thinking about uncertainty. He explains why our brains are wired to fear the unknown, why many people would rather know a bad outcome than face uncertainty and how building “risk-taking muscles” helps us become more resilient over time.In our conversation, we discuss the concept of anti-fragility, the hidden risks of staying too comfortable and why action is often the best antidote to anxiety. Scott also shares practical strategies for strengthening confidence, including creating a “hype document” to track wins and reconnect those successes to moments of uncertainty and growth. Finally, we explore the impact of AI on the future of work, why learning to learn is becoming one of the most important professional skills and how self-compassion helps us navigate change more effectively.About My GuestScott Stirrett is an entrepreneur, author, and advocate for young people. As Founder and CEO of Venture for Canada, he's raised $80M+ to support entrepreneurial talent, backed by RBC, TD, Scotiabank, and the Government of Canada.

What do you do when life feels uncertain, stressful, or completely out of your control?In this message, Pastor Brandon continues our **Chasing Purpose** series by teaching through Proverbs 3 and one of the most well-known promises in Scripture: **“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.”**Pastor Brandon reminds us that life often brings seasons we cannot control.

But in the middle of uncertainty, God invites us to trust Him fully.This message unpacks what it actually means to trust God: learning His truth, obeying His will, sharing in His blessings, and submitting to His correction. When we choose God's wisdom over our own understanding, He brings health, peace, direction, and nourishment to our lives.If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs a reminder to hold tightly to Jesus and trust Him in every season.Make sure to like and subscribe to stay up to date with weekly messages from Venture Church.

STORY of AMERICA

Dans cet épisode, je reçois Dimitri Fotopoulos, partenaire chez Weinberg Capital Partners, pour une discussion autour des fonds de continuation en private equity : comment fonctionnent-ils, pourquoi sont-ils mal compris, et dans quels cas permettent-ils de prolonger la création de valeur d'un actif Leveraged Buy-Out (LBO) au-delà de la durée classique d'un fonds?Nous avons parlé :Du dilemme central du gestionnaire LBO : devoir céder un actif performant à contre-coeur uniquement parce que le fonds arrive à maturité, même quand la relation avec le management est excellente et que le potentiel de création de valeur n'est pas encore pleinement capturéDu principal préjugé sur les fonds de continuation, perçus comme un outil pour recycler des actifs qui peinent à trouver acheteur, alors que dans les faits, seuls les meilleurs actifs LBO peuvent se prêter à cet exercice sur le marché secondaireDu processus concret de mise en place d'un fonds de continuation : mandat d'une banque conseil spécialisée comme Lazard, due diligence complète avec book de valorisation, trois phases successives avec les lead investors du secondaire, les LPs existants et la syndicationDu double due diligence spécifique au marché secondaire : les investisseurs analysent autant le track record de l'équipe de gestion sur 10 à 20 ans que la qualité intrinsèque de l'actif lui-mêmeDe la structure de frais adaptée au format fonds de continuation, proche du co-investissement : environ 1% de management fees et 10% de carried interest, contre les 2% et 20% d'un fonds LBO classique diversifiéDes chiffres du marché secondaire en France : 12 milliards d'euros de transactions secondaires au total, dont 7 milliards attribués aux seuls fonds de continuation en 2025, selon le premier rapport France Invest publié sur le sujetDe la démocratisation du private equity auprès du wealth management, que Weinberg Capital Partners adresse via une équipe dédiée, avec la conviction que rendre cette classe d'actifs accessible est vertueux à condition de maintenir des garde-fous réglementaires rigoureux conformes aux exigences de l'AMFUn épisode technique mais très accessible, qui démystifie un outil encore mal compris et souvent mal jugé - et qui montre comment la contrainte structurelle d'un fonds peut devenir un levier de création de valeur supplémentaire.Recommandation de Dimitri : “Pour les succès des armes de la France" de Pierre de VilliersLiens utilesDimitri Fotopoulos: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dimitri-fotopoulos-9033583/ Weinberg Capital Partners: http://www.weinbergcapital.comFinscale est aussi disponible sur YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@finscale.***************************Finscale est bien plus qu'un podcast.

SpaceX is now publicly traded on the Nasdaq. Andreessen Horowitz General Partner David George bet on Elon Musk in 2021, and he's still betting on him–and SpaceX. Venture capitalist Ben Narasin considers the potential future of the stock and what it could mean for other IPOs (like Anthropic and OpenAI) that are also set to list this year. CNBC's Robert Frank reports on the numbers that will make Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire. CNBC's Morgan Brennan shares highlights from her interview with SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell, and Elon Musk addresses his employees and investors ahead of the company's first trade.    Morgan Brennan - 3:47 David George - 10:59 Ben Narasin - 19:47 Robert Frank - 30:19 Elon  Musk - 37:07 In this episode David George, @DavidGeorge83 Robert Frank, @robtfrank Morgan Brennan, @MorganLBrennan Melissa Lee, @MelissaLeeCNBC Joe Kernen, @JoeSquawk Andrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkin Cameron Costa, @CameronCostaNY Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with lifelong entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and author Hunter Hastings to dismantle the biggest sacred cow in modern business education: the MBA. If you've ever felt suffocated by endless corporate reporting, rigid five-year strategic plans, or red tape that stalls brilliant ideas, you are likely stuck in the "administration trap." Hastings, co-author of Venture Mode: Escape the Administration Trap by Finding and Unleashing Entrepreneurial Leaders, reveals how modern corporations and business schools have mistakenly turned potential trailblazers into process-focused bureaucrats. Drawing on radical principles of Austrian economics and hard-earned wisdom from Silicon Valley to Procter & Gamble, this conversation flips traditional corporate hierarchy on its head, advocating for a relentless obsession with the true boss of any business: the consumer.

Venture capital changed the freight tech conversation, but did it actually make the industry better? On this episode of Supply Chain Decoded, Jenni Ruiz sits down with Jennifer Morris, founder of Ship Happens, for a sharp, funny, and refreshingly honest conversation about the messy relationship between logistics, funding, AI, and the stories investors choose to believe. Jenn and Jenni unpack what freight looked like before the pandemic, why supply chain suddenly became the center of the mainstream conversation, and how companies like Flexport helped turn logistics into something venture capital could finally understand, or at least wanted to understand. They also dig into the harder questions: why female founders still receive only a sliver of VC dollars, why “AI” has become one of the industry's most overused shortcuts, and why the next wave of freight tech needs to lead with the problem it solves instead of the buzzwords it can stack. From Convoy lessons and vanity metrics to AI agents, due diligence, and the danger of confusing automation with intelligence, this episode is a clear-eyed look at what happens when outside capital meets an industry built on nuance, volatility, and constant firefighting. And in true Decoded fashion, Jenn closes with one thing supply chain gets wrong: we move too quickly from one fire to the next without asking why the fire keeps starting. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.

Today, we're diving into a part of the climate transition that doesn't get nearly as much attention as solar panels, electric vehicles, or AI: the materials, minerals, and manufacturing systems that make modern civilization possible. Steel alone accounts for roughly 7–8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and the energy transition is driving unprecedented demand for critical minerals, advanced materials, and domestic manufacturing capacity. These sectors offer incredible investment opportunities, and that's the focus of my guest, Kavita Patel. Kavita is a portfolio manager for venture investment for MUUS & Company (MUUS), the family office of TIGER 21 Founder and Chairman, Michael Sonnenfeldt, and his family.We discuss opportunities ranging from critical mineral recycling to next-generation building materials, what she's learned investing through the ups and downs of climate tech, and why she believes some of the most compelling opportunities today may be hiding in sectors many investors overlook.We also explore where climate capital is flowing, where it may be underinvesting, and how investors can think rigorously about both financial returns and real-world climate impact.I learned a lot from this conversation, and I think you will too. Here we go.

Have you ever wondered why Capital One's approval decisions feel completely random - approval for some, denial for others, with almost no rhyme or reason?   Capital One has a well-earned reputation for being unpredictable with credit card approvals. When Katie from Katie's Travel Tricks saw the launch of the new Capital One Business Venture card, she decided to move beyond anecdotes and collect real data. She surveyed her audience about their approval and denial experiences, gathered nearly 150 responses, and analyzed the patterns using data to answer the questions everyone has been asking: what actually matters to Capital One?   Katie and I break down what her data revealed about the three strongest approval predictors, why the conventional wisdom about waiting six months between Capital One applications might not be accurate, which metrics matter (credit score, hard inquiries, pre-approval status) and which ones surprisingly don't, and how business structure (sole proprietor versus LLC) impacts your approval chances. We also discuss what role the Capital One Business Venture Card plays in your overall rewards strategy and how to think about it within the larger Capital One ecosystem.   Get full show notes and transcript: https://pointmetofirstclass.com/capital-one-approvals-data       Eager to learn the secrets of award travel so that you can turn your expenses into unforgettable experiences?

What does it actually mean to fear the Lord?In this message, Pastor Brandon continues our Chasing Purpose series as we move from Ecclesiastes into the book of Proverbs. Solomon begins Proverbs by teaching that wisdom starts with one foundational truth: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”But fear of the Lord does not mean being scared of God. For followers of Jesus, it means living with reverence, awe, humility, and deep respect for who God is. It means choosing God's wisdom over our own understanding, listening to His voice above the opinions of the world, and allowing His Word to shape the way we live.Pastor Brandon reminds us that there are always two voices competing for our attention: wisdom and foolishness, God's way and our own way. True wisdom begins when we surrender our plans, trust God's direction, and live with reverence for the One who created us, loves us, and will never leave us.This message also includes a powerful time of communion and a Kingdom Builders Light Bearers Project update.If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs wisdom and direction this week.Make sure to like and subscribe to stay up to date with weekly messages from Venture Church.Timestamps0:00 – YouTube Welcome from Pastor Brandon0:18 – Welcome to Venture Church1:25 – Introducing Proverbs1:52 – Proverbs of Solomon3:03 – The Fear of the Lord Is the Beginning of Knowledge3:35 – How to Read the Bible5:02 – Reading a Proverb a Day5:27 – The Main Theme of Proverbs6:00 – Proverbs as Wisdom Literature7:27 – What Wisdom Means8:01 – Wisdom and Folly8:55 – Two Voices Competing for Your Attention9:28 – God's Plan vs. Our Plan10:15 – Everyone Has an Opinion11:44 – Wisdom and Folly in Everyday Life12:17 – Real Questions People Are Asking Right Now13:49 – Unlocking Wisdom in Proverbs14:26 – God's Plan vs. My Plan15:23 – The Way of a Fool Seems Right16:32 – When Feelings Lead Us the Wrong Way17:54 – What Does “Fear of the Lord” Mean?19:25 – Fear of God Without Jesus20:10 – The Journey of Following Jesus20:35 – Fear of God as Reverence21:05 – Worshiping God with Reverence and Awe21:44 – Respectful Fear of God22:48 – A Child's Reverence for Their Parents24:15 – Reverential Respect25:03 – God Is the Creator, We Are His Creation25:56 – Reverence, Obedience, and Fellowship with God26:09 – True Wisdom Comes from Knowing Who God Is27:09 – Nothing Can Separate Us from God's Love28:44 – God Will Never Leave or Forsake Us29:12 – Fear of the Lord Shapes How We Live30:25 – Fear of God Drives Out Fear of Man30:58 – Obedience Leads to Deeper Relationship31:06 – Communion Moment32:27 – Reflecting and Remembering33:52 – Making Things Right with Jesus35:22 – Remembering What Jesus Has Done36:01 – Receiving the Bread36:42 – The Cup and the Blood of Jesus37:52 – Invitation to Begin a Relationship with Jesus39:17 – Salvation Prayer40:10 – Receiving the Cup40:13 – Worship Response45:15 – Kingdom Builders Light Bearers Project Update45:36 – Mike and Kayla Anderson Share46:18 – Why Kids Ministry Matters47:17 – Ways to Participate in Light Bearers48:24 – Invitation to Give48:43 – What's Next Resource49:03 – YouTube Outro

Europe wants AI sovereignty. But can it reduce its dependence on foreign technology without sacrificing innovation, capability and competitiveness?In this episode of This Week in European Tech, Dan Bowyer and Mads Jensen of SuperSeed are joined by Matt Russell, Managing Director (Head of Secondaries) at VenCap International, to discuss Europe's growing sovereignty push, the debate around Palantir, the future of venture secondaries, enterprise AI adoption and the latest developments from Anthropic, SpaceX and OpenAI.The conversation explores why venture secondaries may be entering a new phase of growth, why some of the best-performing secondary investments are bought at premiums rather than discounts and what Europe's path to sovereign AI infrastructure could look like.Topics covered:Europe's AI and cloud sovereignty challengeThe Palantir debate and the risks of vendor lock-inWhy venture secondaries could become a much larger marketThe biggest misconceptions about secondary investingEnterprise AI adoption and the challenge of measuring ROIAnthropic, SpaceX and the next generation of AI mega-companiesOpenAI and the future of AI regulationWhether Europe can build sovereign AI infrastructureWhy AI may ultimately be a productivity and margin storyTimestamps(00:00) Introduction and the rise of venture secondaries(01:00) Why liquidity is becoming venture capital's biggest theme(05:00) Europe's sovereignty push and the Cloud & AI Development Act(12:00) Sovereign cloud, AI infrastructure and the search for European champions(18:00) The Palantir debate: dependency, lock-in and strategic control(24:00) Enterprise AI adoption, experimentation and proving ROI(31:00) Anthropic, SpaceX and the next wave of mega-cap technology companies(38:00) AI regulation, liability and the OpenAI lawsuit(42:00) Predictions: Europe's two-tier AI future(47:00) Deal of the week: defence tech, Gigaton and autonomous systems(50:00) What's next: Apple, the ECB and the SpaceX IPO(55:00) Closing remarksSubscribe to EUVC, the home of European tech, for more insights: https://www.eu.vc/subscribe

Follow me @samirkaji for my thoughts on the venture market, with a focus on the continued evolution of the VC landscape.Welcome back to another episode of Venture Unlocked, the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the business of venture capital.In this episode, I'm joined by three deep tech investors and friends of the show, Nate Williams, Sunil Nagaraj, and Guy Perelmuter, for a roundtable on the state of deep tech and the changing venture landscape. We dig into what deep tech really means today, why it's suddenly attracting so much capital, and how economics, government tailwinds, and AI as a “killer app” have pulled these once niche technologies into the mainstream. We also explore the growing concentration of capital in a handful of hyperscale winners, the tension between consensus vs. non-consensus investing, and what all of this means for emerging managers, LPs, and founders operating at the zero-to-one stage.Thanks for listening to another episode of Venture Unlocked.

The Midwest: 140 million acres of corn and soybeans, rural economies slowly dying, a system with no real long-term future in terms of soil or human health. It's also where roughly 25% of farmland could flip the entire region toward regeneration—but only if you coordinate capital the right way.Ivana Gazibara, Director of Systemic Investment Programmes at the TransCap Initiative, spent two years mapping the intervention points needed to drive systemic change across the agricultural heartland. She uncovered something unexpected: money isn't the problem. Coordination is. Venture capital, public funders, and philanthropists all allocate capital into regenerative agriculture—but almost never in the same room together, much less actively collaborating. The result? Capital that's supposed to be systemic lands as scattered bets.The solution: the Regenerative Agriculture Capital Orchestrator (RACO), a blueprint for deploying $1.4 billion in catalytic capital to attract $7.5 billion more, organized around four pillars—system intelligence platform, capital matchmaking, catalytic finance, and field building. This is systems change made concrete: what it costs per acre, how to move money at scale, what happens when you stop treating regeneration as a one-off problem and start treating it as a reshaping of incentives across lending, insurance, and investment. Because you can't finance a transition you haven't mapped, and you can't scale a transition money isn't deliberately coordinated to reach.More about this episode.Thoughts? Ideas? Questions?
