[Week 16/52]: Want to be featured in front of investors? And, I spent $18K on Modern Fund Infrastructure
I try to help founders get in front of investors. If you want to have their business featured to our investors, submit below. I also share some excellent news about what I've been doing in stealth.
First off, wanting to give a special shout out to Lachel, Tom, JZ, Rich, Remo, and Shawn for opening up every newsletter so far. I appreciate it. We have 3K people who read this monthly. I wanted to give you an opportunity (see below).
Submit your startup, and get Featured to Investors
Submit your Startup Details to Win (4 minutes)
(MUST SUBMIT BY EOD, tonight)!
Submit information about your startup, and your startup goals, and I’ll think of a way to feature you in the newsletter next week. Stay tuned for next week as we reveal some of the insanely cool founders from my network.
But first..
I’m Don! I’ve been building career memories for a decade. Over the last three years I’ve been reinvesting my own capital and time back it into my business. All the while learning and growing my net worth via public markets and crypto.
Over that same period, I also hosted 50+ virtual events with some of the world’s best VC investors and founders for our CEO group. Prior to all that, aside from my first job at Meta, I was lucky enough to raise $10 million in my twenties; doing my best to learn business, investor relations, and the startup mindset all at the same time. Maybe some of you can relate.
This year, I set the goal to publish a thoughtful blog every Monday.. 52 of them! Don’ Daily is a recap of the entrepreneurship adventures I collect, as well as the new lessons I’m constantly learning from doing. My hope is that this entertains, inspires, and influences new creative ideas for you. Every Monday. If you enjoy the blog, please share!
Modern Investment Fund Infrastructure
I’ve spent the last 6 weeks, and $18K, to set up a GP/LP investment fund.
It’s fascinating to see the modernized infrastructure available.
We have a brokerage for Stocks, a brokerage for Crypto, and a team for legal, accounting, and admin. We have fully formed entities, we’re on ramping capital this week, and getting ready to rock.
You can read the rough draft of my investment mindset manifesto here, this is a work-in-progress, it will be much more simplified in the future:
If you want to add your input to the Manifesto, please ‘add a comment’ you all have permission.
I’m not discussing any details just yet, but for those of you who are curious, you can start to piece together the puzzle of what I’m up to.

Testing my Claude AI Research Stack:
Last week I discussed what I built in Claude, I’ve been using it the last week, and LOVING it. Plenty of new ideas, but there’s a lot which is already extremely useful for me.
Here’s a quick video I made (while I was sick, excuse the sniffles) to show off my first time using it with NVDA 0.00%↑ as the example.
Next Week Winners, Selected Wednesday:
I look forward to seeing which of you win the competition to get featured in the newsletter.
Reminder, YOU MUST ENTER BY EOD TONIGHT.
