Wrapped a strong panel at @USChamber Capital Markets Summit alongside Citadel, Carta, JP Morgan & a former SEC Commissioner.
As a GP at Flintlock Capital, markets aren’t zero-sum. We all win when the pie grows — by reducing friction so innovation can move at full speed.
Stronger capital formation benefits everyone.

Great interview with CEO Rob at the @NYSE today.
"Banks are under attack from all sides."
But ripping out legacy systems isn't the answer.
Rob Rooney of @HyperlayerTech tells @RemyBlaireNews putting an intelligence and orchestration layer on top of existing technology is "a much better answer for these banks to catch up."

Still trying to find the words for this one.
Football gave me some unbelievable moments... but strapping into a Thunderbird jet over Miami Beach on Memorial Day weekend is beyond something I dreamed as a kid and surely a feeling I’ll remember forever.
The precision, trust, discipline, and professionalism of this team is unreal. Not just the pilots... the entire machine behind them. The maintainers, crew chiefs, planners, support personnel…an entire team committed to excellence at the highest level.
Deeply honored to represent The U, the NFL, and Miami alongside people who dedicate their lives to something far bigger than themselves. & a special thank you to my pilot, #8 “Razz.” An absolute professional, incredible human, and someone who carries the weight of representing this team with humility, confidence and class. Sharing that cockpit and experience with you is something I’ll never forget, brother.
And most importantly, Memorial Day. A time to remember the brave men and women who never made it home. We tly, gather, celebrate, and live free because of their sacrifice. Never forgotten.🇺🇸✈️

Over the last four years, many working class Americans with limited means faced unexpected medical bills, auto repairs & higher grocery bills. One company set up an innovative solution by creating a platform to allow borrowers & lenders to connect for loans at no interest, with borrowers able to tip the lender and also donate to keep the platform going. Shockingly, the CFPB tried to destroy this company, SoLo, which incurred millions in legal fees and had to lay off 30% of its workforce. It was wrong and we dismissed the case. More to come but the weaponization of "consumer protection" must end. 👇

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
SoLo advertised "zero-interest loans," but "almost all of SoLo’s loans carry an equivalent annual percentage rate of over 36% APR, and many loans carry an APR in excess of 300%, with some over 1,000%."

United by a shared mission to sustain space and keep orbital highways clear, we were honored to meet with our partners at @omegawatches HQ in Switzerland. The visit included an exclusive tour of their watchmaking facility and a panel alongside OMEGA CEO Raynald Aeschlimann. ⏱️
“What we do at Privateer may look very different from watchmaking, but we both deeply value the delicate balance of ingenuity and craftsmanship in our work,” shared our CEO and Chairman, @Alex__Fielding, who toured the facility with his Privateer co-founder, @stevewoz.

The minimum-liability limits auto insurance market is over $50 billion in the United States, and is largely distributed through brick and mortar agent networks with opaque pricing and poor customer experience. Sigo is changing the way working class communities are insured with their fully bilingual, mobile-first auto insurance platform.
We are excited to partner with @SigoSeguros as they continue to underwrite profitably and expand into new geographies!

❓ One simple question launched Privateer on its voyage: How can we harness the full potential of satellite tech to improve people’s lives?
Because it's not just about what's happening in space, but how it’s affecting us here on Earth.
Huge thanks to Allison Beck at @Forbes for chatting with us and telling our story!

Thank you @washingtonpost for focusing on this and quoting from our discussion.
Most people won't believe you if you tell them the United States taxes innovation. Since 2022, R&D expenses are no longer able to be 100% deducted. They must be amortized. There is a bill in the Senate that passed the house with over 350 votes that would provide a 3 year extension (back to 2023) for the 100% deduction of R&D expenses. It would also bring back 100% bonus depreciation.
The US is the unequivocal innovation capital of the world. We have the best universities, infrastructure, capital markets, AND entrepreneurs. We cannot tax innovation. We must incentivize it. In China, they provide 175% deductibility for R&D related expenses. Every American business dedicated to growth does R&D. This is universal and apolitical.
@USChamber Free Enterprise!

🆕 Coming soon to Wayfinder: our tool to identify and visualize satellites that have wandered from their orbital homes.
Co-Founder @moribajah highlights the need for tools like these to improve compliance and transparency in this @SpaceNews_Inc piece by @JasonRainbow. With the flood of new satellites, he emphasizes that manual data entry and outdated systems are major hurdles. 🙅
