Donald Trump Jr. is joining as a Partner to a Venture fund called 1789 Capital that invest in Anti-ESG. 1789 Capital invests in the “parallel economy" - companies that espouse a conservative world view. 1789 Capital's investment portfolio include $15 million in conservative TV personality Tucker Carlson's company "Last Country Inc." This is from their website: “1789 Capital will invest in Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Growth or what we have defined as "EIG" to take advantage of an era-defining investment opportunity by providing venture and growth capital to companies building the next era of American prosperity with a focus on the following four areas: (i) the Replication/Parallel Economy; (ii) Deglobalization, (iii) Anti-ESG (i.e. sectors that have been negatively impacted by such principles) and (iv) Cutting edge technologies that disrupt industries weighed down by excessive bureaucracy” They invest in any other sector that you might expect like Energy, SaaS, Fintech and others.
