Today we have a superb episode with an absolute legend, Alan Patricof, Co-Founder of Primetime Partners, Greycroft, and Apax Partners. It’s hard to explain just how important Alan has been for tech and VC. He’s one of the true pioneers in venture capital worldwide, having started his first VC firm in the 1970s, Alan Patricof and Associates, which later became Apax Partners and currently has over ~$80Bn AUM. Alan is an inspiring figure, not only because of his success in the business world but also because of his vitality and contagious optimism. He joined us a day after his 90th birthday and candidly, he had more energy than most people I know. We recorded live on stage at Rise, created by Barclays in NYC for the 2024 Gilgamesh Ventures Summit, an annual meeting where we gather over 150 limited partners, founders, investors, and friends for a series of events and discussions about the future of tech and financial services. In this episode, we discuss: - The early days of Venture Capital and Tech in the 1970s and beyond - Alan grew up in NYC and built his career in NY – how was the city back then? - Building primetime partners to invest in the fastest growing market, people over 60 - Staying healthy. How Alan keeps fit, focused and is closing deals at 90 Years Old - Why your reputation is all that matters in this business… and a lot more! Special thanks to Morgan Borer, Jessica Schaefer, Carlee Snyder, Courtney Dawson, and Carina Oriel! https://bit.ly/4g1HNMU

What the heck is CVEC and why is it important? Listen as my co-founders and I share the details of this exciting venture! 🚀

Did you know that Provo, Utah-based Angel Studios believes it's worth nearly $1.6 billion?!?!?! Yes, that's "Unicorn" status, and Angel Studios has now very publicly disclosed to the world that, in fact, that that is exactly what the firm is worth. Intrigued?!?!?! If so, please turn to Utah Money Watch to read our report (and analysis) titled "Is Angel Studios Really Worth $1.58 Billion? It Thinks So." — which you can read here: https://lnkd.in/grniKi47. TBH (to be honest), we've held back of late in diving into Angel Studios' financial activities over the past two weeks, the euphemistically known "dog days" of summer. But when we began digging into its interrelated machinations and announcements, we started to realize what it was that #AngelStudios was up to. At least we think so. That said, we look forward to your thoughts and feedback on this report, whether via #likes, #comments, #shares, #reposts and/or DMs. As always, the intent is to provide you, my subscribers & readers, insights and information not available from any other source in Utah. All the best, David ("Poppa P") Politis, Founder, Editor, and Publisher Utah Money Watch #utah #money #finance #financing #monetary #financial #IPO #publiccompany #SPAC #SpecialPurposeAcquisitionCompany #merger #SPACmerger #RegA+ #fundraising
