Bill Gurley makes the case for why retail access to private equity and venture capital could result in bad outcomes "If you come into it with a public market mindset, thinking that every set of financials I have been handed is audited and correct, it's just not the case"

Investor Bill Gurley: "If I were using cynical words, I'd say [venture capital] hijacked the growth years of early IPO companies." "Amazon went public below a billion in market cap. It's hard to fathom that today, with what we have going on here."

It's a big day in Hanover Park history. We just delivered the first set of "day 0 financials". Typically, venture capital and private equity firms report to their investors 45 days after the quarter ends. We did it 45x faster by delivering financials on July 1st for one of our customers. This is the foundation for a bigger vision: "Robinhood for private markets." Enabling real-time data for LPs powered by AI agents and continuous closes. Huge shoutout to Jordyn Parry, Awais Akram and our whole team for making it happen. Case study coming soon 🚀

#WATCH | On the 'fugitive' tag, IPL founder and first chairman Lalit Modi says, "I'm not running at all... The Indian government has a long arm. You can't take on the government of India. And I don't intend to, and I don't want to... Not a single case against me has been registered. Why? If I have been so bad, and everybody says I am so bad, then prosecute me... There was a time when I did want to come back... But come back and do what?... I don't need to prove anything to anybody... If there was something there, it would be out... Anything that I have done, or could have done, in the 17 years would have already been cleared. That is why there is no case against me." Watch Full Episode Here:

JB Hunt set the tone for earnings describing how shippers are accepting a massive shift and calling it a "structural change" and unlike other capacity-led market changes. Hunt's team made the case that we should not expect this market to correct anytime soon, as the regulatory crackdown continues and trucker balance sheets have been wrecked by the worst downturn in history. This makes the case that a trucking super cycle is on the way!

🚨🚨PRIVATE EQUITY BAILOUT WITH YOUR 401K 🚨🚨 The Federal Government just gave Private Equity the blessing to access 14 Trillion in 401K. Just when the Private Equity Market is a full blown meltdown. "As of early 2026, private equity (PE) firms have gained significantly increased access to 401(k) plans following regulatory changes and executive actions. The Department of Labor has facilitated the inclusion of alternative assets—including private equity, real estate, and crypto—into retirement accounts, ending years of restrictions."

Fantastic breakdown from Ben Horowitz on the history of venture capital and how the industry has evolved over time If you are building a VC firm or an entrepreneur thinking about raising money from venture capital, this is worth a listen "In venture capital, the fundamental thing you have to be is top tier. If you are not top tier, the best entrepreneurs will not take your money. There are times when the market is so blazing hot that you can be a not-important VC firm and jump into good deals to make money. But most times, if you are not top tier, you will go out of business."

Chamath: “Private equity in general is totally hosed.” 🏢🚨 “I think the history of this is important.” “There was a long standing belief that the best way to generate the best risk adjusted return was to have what's called a 60/40 allocation. 60% to bonds and 40% to equities.” “Over many years, especially when we artificially suppressed rates at zero, a lot of people started to move their allocations away from 60/40 and they started to make more and more investments further out on the risk curve.” “The biggest beneficiaries of that were venture capital, private equity, and hedge funds.” “The thing with private equity is that because rates were zero, they had an infinite amount of borrowing capacity at very little downside to them, and so they were able to manufacture returns much faster than venture capital and hedge funds could.” “So as a result, you had an initial group of people that were defining the asset class, making a ton of money, and then you had all these fast followers that said, ‘Well, if they're doing it, I can do it too.’” “But then always what happens is then you have this flood of laggards that just flood the zone.” “And it's these laggards that make it very difficult to generate returns because they start overpaying for assets, they start mismanaging and under managing the assets that they do own.” “That created a lot of competition, and so that's why you see this hockey stick graph.” “And when you see that kind of graph, it doesn't matter what asset class it is. The returns go to zero.” “And so we've seen this in venture capital. We've seen this in hedge funds. And we're now going to see this in private equity.”

"We talk in Silicon Valley about never quit. But that is complete, absolute, venture capital bullshit. The incentive of venture capitalist is to put money into your company and milk you dry. The only logical desire that they would have is for you to keep trying against all odds. The Silicon Valley mindset is not pro entrepreneur—it's pro venture capitalist. It's important to say out loud that you should f*cking quit. You should reset the clock. You should reset the cap table. Because trust me, product market fit, when it arrives, is insane. And it's exciting. And you should pursue it. And never delude yourself into believing you have it when you don't." — Matt MacInnis (Matt MacInnis)

In two weeks he's disproven the entirety of the mega bear case" Dave on how Saylor quietly dismantled the entire bear case in two weeks "The market cares about two things. One, what's going to be the value of their Bitcoin reserve, and two, does he have access to capital markets" "What have we learned the last two weeks? We've learned that he could sell Bitcoin and the price could rise and go up. And he's not even buying. And we learned that he could access capital markets without touching Bitcoin and raise cash if he needs to" "Basically what he's done in the last two weeks is disproven the entirety of the mega bear case, the disastrous circle, the flush down the drain"

John: What's interesting about Ilya and SSI is that it's a venture-style bet: let the scientists experiment, maybe it will work out, and if it works it's huge. The expected value is high. What's crazy is that it's a venture-style bet at growth scale. And it's a massive amount of capital for something where the consensus is: "If he solves it, it's incredibly valuable, and he leap frogs everything. And if not, maybe he just gets lost in a sea of research and never really produces anything." Also: this type of capital deployment has been happening internally at Google for a long time, but it hasn't been that big of a deal because they have the engine for it.

Why has DOJ not prosecuted more crimes in the Epstein Case? That is a good question! And why it is essential that DOJ release the files—even if it takes a court order. And, thus is why Katie Phang’s lawsuit is so important. Today, our ongoing investigation in Oversight continues—with a Bill Gates interview. Stay tuned for more! In the meantime you can watch our full interview with Katie on the case here:

To the $XRP Community, watch this video and genuinely answer me this: 1. Why has Ripple been dumping XRP on retail? 2. If Ripple can change the rules, isn’t that TradFi with blockchain branding and how is it different from SWIFT or PayPal? 3. Why is RippleNet run by a centralized set of validators controlled mostly by Ripple Labs and so, why does Ripple call the XRPL “decentralized?” 4. Ripple is heavily focused on banks, central banks, and payment networks. Where does the public use case for XRP come in? Wouldn’t it be right to say that Jed left Ripple because he envisioned a decentralized, public protocol and not just a tool for banks?

Why is there so much hatred toward Oprah Winfrey for trying to help out int he aftermath of the Maui fires? Is this another case of the "I hate wealthy people" excuse? We see it with Elon Musk, we see it with Bill Gates, and we're seeing it with Oprah now. Yes, Oprah is worth over a billion dollars. No, $10 million doesn't put much of a dent into her net worth, but it's better than nothing. How much money have you donated to Maui? My guess is that the majority of those who are attacking Oprah have not donated a single cent to the cause. Why do wealthy people get attacked all of the time, as if it's their duty to donate their money? Even when they do, it's not enough? Is Oprah just disliked because of her ideologies, in a similar way people dislike Elon Musk and Bill Gate? So people try and come up with anything possible to make them look bad? Thoughts?
