As I’ve been thinking about what is the next big bet I want to make, I had a thought on my way home. The business is really just the product of delivering value, as profitable as possible, and as many times as possible.


You've invested $250K across 5 deals. But you still don't have a plan. Some tax plays here. A little equity growth there. A syndication your friend told you about. And now you're wondering why it all feels disconnected. I've been there. A few years ago, I was doing the same…

After 23 LP deals + reviewing 1,000+ offerings, I’ve learned one powerful rule: If I can't verify it, I don’t invest in it. If you lose money in your first private deal, it's usually not because the deal is bad... It's because you don't know what questions to ask. It's easy…
