I just attended SVN® International Corp.'s national conference in Miami — and won a specialty award! Here are 7 key insights that will fuel my work from now on: 1. Give yourself a ‘think day’: I flew into Miami one day early to journal, think, and rest. When people started arriving on Tuesday, I was ready to network, learn, and ask questions. Rarely giving yourself space is a crucial mistake. Book a think day. 2. The truth is just beneath the surface: You can surprise people at networking events simply by asking great questions. This week my go-to was ‘What is your biggest challenge?’ A different question creates a fresh conversation. Pursue depth. 3. The key to #cre is executing a plan: If you are laser-focused on a specific business plan, everything is easier. Fewer distractions and more satisfaction. That intentional discipline creates freedom in breaks. 4. The best speakers are raw and genuine vs. polished and programmed: Hearing from Daymond John was a gift. His approach is simple = deliver unfiltered entrepreneurial fuel. A successful entrepreneur with zero incentive to try and impress anyone. “No is a request for more information.” 5. Everything you are doing should lean into developing expertise: Hearing from Beth Azor was a privilege.  I understand why she is an industry staple. Empowering people to coordinate the uncoordinated, lean into expertise, and invest (especially women). Bravo, Beth. 6. “Finally, you!” I picked up a cold-call strategy I will use for the rest of my life. Simply put, take the attitude with every owner of “Finally, I got 𝘺𝘰𝘶 on the phone!” Be extraordinary at ordinary things. 7. I won an award: I was honored as the “influencer” of the year in a company with 200+ offices and 2,000+ advisors. I want to thank SVN for inspiring and recognizing creativity. Wow. I also want to thank you for engaging. I love creating. The fact that people are reading, watching, and learning along with me is special… to say the least. Onward.

The venture capital market may still be trying to sort itself out, yet venture capital firms remain optimistic in closing new funds. Ubiquity Ventures is the latest firm, securing another $75 million in capital commitments for its third fund. Sunil Nagaraj is the solo general partner at Ubiquity, having started the firm in 2017 and closed his debut fund of $30 million in 2019. He then raised $51 million in 2020 for Fund II. And Nagaraj takes a board seat, which he joked that many of his peers find odd at the seed stage. #Fundraising #Startup #Crypto #AI #JustRaised #BeeKrowd

Release Early. Release Often. In Eric Raymond's "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" (a book on open source software engineering) one of the mantras on how to produce a quality product is to release it early, release a lot of iterations, and to listen to your customers a lot. So in that spirit here is an early version of www.30gram6.com, a technology platform with the mission to track every M&A transaction worldwide and present them in a simple searchable format. For free. The immediate roadmap consists of: * Publish all news articles from 2024 (already captured and processed). * Release a searchable transactions database. * Release a searchable Participants (ie Advisors) database. * Onboard more organisations to work with us directly in submitting Transactions.
