Why Jeff Bezos, Coatue Launched a New Billion Dollar Private Fund For Individual Investors 42:27

vor 9 weeks42:27

42:27

This week, something seismic happened in private markets. Jeff Bezos, Michael Dell, and Coatue’s Philippe Laffont announced a $1B tech fund that’s now accessible to individual investors — with minimums starting at just $50K. Let that sink in. The floodgates are opening. What used to require millions and insider access is now coming to retail. First Hamilton Lane launched the first truly retail private fund exclusively on Repubic with a $500 minimum and now Coatue offering access to its own unique offering at $50k (funds like these typically have minimums in the millions). In this episode, Scott is joined by KingsCrowd's Head of Product, Brian Belley, to unpack the real impact of this new "public-private" trend — and how everyday investors (and fintech bros) can take advantage of this radically evolving market. What they discussed: - Why this marks the official arrival of the retail private equity era - The pros, cons, and potential traps for new investors - How to build a modern portfolio without getting wrecked by fees, hype, or fine print - Why the next generation of private investing will blur the lines between public and private assets Support the show (and your wallet) by creating a free account at Kingscrowd.com.

RIP Venture Factory and The State of VC 2025 with Sam Lessin 38:09

vor 10 weeks38:09

38:09

Scott sits down with venture capitalist, essayist, and Slow Ventures GP Sam Lessin for a candid, high-signal conversation about the state of venture capital—and why the old playbook is officially dead. Sam unpacks the ideas behind his viral VC25 manifesto, including why the startup conveyor belt model is broken, how today’s founders are flying blind, and what it really takes to build something worth betting on in a post-factory era. Together, Scott and Sam dive deep into the evolving role of seed investors, the myth of the “10x engineer,” and why most unicorns are now zombified corpses soaking up capital and talent. They riff on founder delusion, LP dysfunction, the commoditization of software, and how a new generation of operators must be built for long-term reality—not short-term hype. It’s a provocative, honest, and sometimes brutal look at how we fund, build, and believe in companies today—and why SFD (Straight F*cking Down) might be the new north star for modern venture. What You’ll Learn: -- Why the “VC Factory” model is gone for good -- How to survive as a seed fund in the mega-fund era -- Why great companies must now be built for forever, not acquisition -- What matters more than tech: story, founder, deal Support the show (and your wallet) by creating a free account at Kingscrowd.com Follow Sam Lessin on Twitter @lessin Follow Scott on IG/Twitter @Kitun…

Scott sits down with longtime friend, journalist, and cultural critic John McDermott for a no-holds-barred conversation on the rise of the grift economy. John and Scott re-trace the evolution of modern hustle culture to unpack the cult of tech founders, the blurred lines between personal branding and deception, and why irrational self-confidence is both a feature and a bug of startup life. Along the way, the duo riff on everything from J.R. Smith’s delusional greatness to Mark Zuckerberg's masculinity arc, fake wellness routines, and the eerie emergence of AI-driven misinformation. John shares what it was like to go toe-to-toe with Jay Shetty, the media’s retreat from accountability, and how we're all becoming lone agents in a broken information ecosystem. It’s a sharp, funny, and sobering look at an era where everything is a grift—and everyone’s a brand. What You’ll Learn: -- Why the “rise and grind” founder archetype is built on delusion -- How fake personas thrive in a media landscape with no referees -- Why we’re only at the beginning of the grift era—and how AI will amplify it -- What snake oil salesmen of the 1900s can teach us about today’s digital hucksters Support the show (and your wallet) by creating a free account at Kingscrowd.com Follow John McDermott on Twitter @McDermott Follow Scott on IG/Twitter @Kitun…

47:05

In this episode, Scott sits down with journalist-turned-operator Eric Newcomer for a wide-ranging conversation about building in public, the evolution of venture capital, and what it’s really like to run a media business. Eric shares the backstory of launching Newcomer, from a solo Substack to a $2M+ revenue business with marquee events like Cerebral Valley. The two reflect on the blurred lines between media and entrepreneurship, how trust and access shape great reporting, and the surprisingly human side of building a company. Then, Scott and Eric dive deep into the state of venture capital: the private-equity-ification of mega-funds, the uncertain future for emerging managers, and why it’s getting harder to find the next generation of category-defining companies. Eric offers sharp takes on AI, fundraising hype, and what LPs really want. It’s a thoughtful, honest, and often funny look at what happens when a journalist steps behind the curtain and becomes a founder himself. What You’ll Learn: - Why Newcomer leaned into events—and how it became a real business. - The unspoken truth about founder glorification (and how hard building really is). - How venture capital is shifting—and why SaaS may have spoiled the party. - What separates good journalism from performative puff pieces. - What it feels like to lead a small team and be responsible for real livelihoods.

In this episode, Scott sits down with Darren Marble — the creator of Going Public and founder of Issuance — for a wide-ranging conversation on the rise of retail investors, the evolution of equity crowdfunding, and why he believes the best days of this industry are still ahead. Darren shares the inside story of launching Going Public, a groundbreaking series now partnered with X (formerly Twitter), where everyday people can invest in startups while watching. He opens up about the challenges of getting mainstream media to understand the vision, the value of showmanship in a complex industry, and how they’re landing major talent like Baron Davis, Floyd Mayweather, and Steve Aoki to bring visibility to private investing. Scott and Darren go deep into the early days of crowdfunding, the Elio Motors deal that kicked it all off, the philosophy behind Issuance’s white-label platform, and why building a frictionless checkout for investing (complete with Apple Pay and USDC) was always the obvious play. This episode is full of gems on what it really takes to build trust, media attention, and infrastructure in a space often ignored by institutions — until now.
