Summary
"That guy. We want to invest in that guy."
In this episode, Ryan Daniel Moran and Sam Prentice give an update on the Capitalism Fund for the second quarter of 2021. You'll hear the surprising advice they've given Scott, Jesse, and Nick, the three brand owners the Fund invested in already. But you'll also get a sneak peek into the brands the Fund is in discussions with, before any ink hits the paper. Also, you'll learn what Sam and Ryan look for in the entrepreneurs and brands the Fund invests in - and what an infusion of capital can do to grow a brand to 8, 9, or even 10 figures.
If you've ever wondered what it would be like to bring on investors in your brand, and what would happen if you traded a bit of equity for what those investors could bring to the table, you won't want to miss this frank conversation.

| 0:00.0 | All right, Sam. So we have just finished at the fund, an amazing quarter that I'm so excited about, where we had three deals. |
| 0:11.2 | You know, we're now on lock. We've completed three deals that we're really excited about. |
| 0:17.4 | And we've got three that are closing here real soon. And I just want to share with |
| 0:22.8 | everybody what's going on to start. I want to repeat our thesis just in case somebody is not |
| 0:28.9 | familiar with what we, what we're doing here at the fund. But our thesis inside the fund |
| 0:34.9 | is that we work with businesses who have a shot at having an |
| 0:40.0 | eight figure exit. |
| 0:41.6 | We work with entrepreneurs to get to that level where we can have an eight figure exit. |
| 0:47.2 | And in my experience, our experience, there is a plateau that happens in the low seven figures, like a million to three million usually, where the entrepreneur can be full time, but they don't have enough meat on the bone to be able to really scale new product development or order the types of inventory that will allow them to drive down costs and increase profit margins. |
| 1:11.8 | And oftentimes entrepreneurs are solo printers where they are doing this for the first time. |
| 1:17.7 | They don't have a partner who has done this before. |

| 1:31.5 | partnering them with agencies who can help them grow from $1 million to $10 million. |
| 1:37.1 | And we basically take the position of we have these resources of people that can help you, |
| 1:42.1 | pick your favorite ones and we'll pay for them. |
| 1:43.6 | And you need inventory. |
| 1:45.3 | If you if you need capital to do a larger inventory order, which will drive down your |
| 1:51.0 | cost by 20%. |
| 1:52.1 | Awesome. |
| 1:52.5 | We put in the capital to help increase that profit margin, which allows us to help the business |
| 1:57.8 | owner grow out of that plateau. And a good example of this is our first |
