Nelson Chu is the Founder and CEO Cadence, a digital securitization and investment platform for private credit.   

Best described from their website: Cadence is unlocking access to exclusive high yield, short term investments traditionally reserved for institutions. Earn up to 10% APY on your investment in as little as 1 month with a low minimum of just $500 to get started.  

Really enjoyed this conversation about Cadence and the Private Credit offerings on their platform. Private Credit is a catch all for alternative assets - not including real estate - including things like: Small Business Lending, Consumer Loans, Factor receivables.  

This Market has a $1T market size and rapidly growing with about $400B sitting on the sidelines.   Cadence is a very interesting alternative investment platform and I'm loving the offerings that they've been offering since their launch.  

Enjoy this conversation with Nelson Chu of Cadence Alternative Investments.

Deven Soni is a co-Founder at Kingmakers Ops. Kingmakers acquires, systematizes and grows residential services businesses (with a focus on HVAC and plumbing).

As a company, they're looking to become an operating holding company of a number of mid-sized service businesses. Kingmakers is working on acquiring and operating a portfolio of more stable, downturn-resilient service businesses. With an estimated 60% of Small Business Owners looking to retire in the next 10 years, there are opportunities if you look in the right places.

We talk about investing in private service businesses including: how to find deal flow, valuations and multiples, and then how to "systematize and grow" once you've purchased them - then exit strategy for Kingmakers as a business.

Enjoy!

Alex Masmej is an Entrepreneur and "Mr. Human IPO" himself. He cofounded RocketNFT, which provides personal loans that are collateralized by Non Fungible Tokens (NFT) such as Crypto Collectables, Virtual Real Estate, Domain Names, or Crypto Art. He received a lot of press when he sold $20,000 worth of $ALEX tokens to fund his move to San Fransisco, offering $ALEX token holders a portion of his future income and the opportunity to "control his life" with their votes.

Think you're really going to enjoy this wide-ranging conversation about some very unique opportunities in crypto. We cover a lot of topics in the Ethereum Ecosystem including Income Share Agreement (ISA) / Personal Tokens and Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs). Enjoy!
