🚨 THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS What if one connection could change the future of your business? At the Principled Business NYC Summit, the most ambitious investors, executives, and founders come together to build, fund, and scale the next wave of freedom-driven innovation. 🚀

Traditional banking wasn’t built for every frontier founder. Erebor is betting that’s the opportunity. Founded by Palmer Luckey, the team behind Erebor is building a nationally chartered bank focused on hard tech, defense, AI, and crypto companies. With a full OCC charter, FDIC-insured deposits, no physical branches, and 24/7 blockchain-enabled payment infrastructure, Erebor is rethinking what banking can look like for the next generation of builders. It’s a company we’re watching closely. Want to see what else is on our radar? Visit libertyventures.vc/

Happy @SpaceX Day! It’s a great day for capitalism, liberty, America, and humanity!  And so a great day for all the early believers (ie investors) in SpaceX, including those who invested in SpaceX with @libven_network

How does Liberty Ventures evaluate deal flow? In last week’s Angel Investor Accelerator, our Chief of Staff @soymichelleber shared a key shift in how we think about founders: It’s not just, “Can this founder build a large business?” It’s, “Do we trust this founder to lead one?” That lens shapes how we source opportunities, assess character, and build conviction before investing. For investors who think this way, we’d love to connect. Join our network at libertyventures.vc/

Congratulations to @mikesherbakov, GP at The Veteran Fund, on receiving the 'Rookie of the Year' Award at our Principled Business Summit on Necker Island. Mike brought a powerful perspective to this year’s gathering of investors, executives, and founders, where we explored entrepreneurship, freedom, AI, and the future of human flourishing. The Veteran Fund is doing important work backing veteran entrepreneurs, and we’re grateful to have mission-driven leaders like Mike in the Liberty Ventures Network. Congratulations, Mike. See you next year on Necker. libertyventures.vc/

Last week in our Angel Investor Accelerator, we heard from @seanthinks, CEO of EasyBot Chat. Most AI tools are built for desk workers, but the majority of the workforce is on the front lines, i.e. in clinics, kitchens, stores, warehouses, and beyond. EasyBot Chat is helping bridge that gap by giving frontline teams mobile access to company knowledge in their preferred language. A thoughtful conversation on where AI can create real operational impact. Learn more: libertyventures.vc

When @chamath shares that a company went from a casual 4-minute conversation to a reported $29M in new revenue in under 2 months, that’s worth paying attention to. Athena is showing what can happen when world-class executive support meets ambitious founders and leaders. At Liberty Ventures, we follow companies building with speed, clarity, and scale. See what’s on our radar: libertyventures.vc

Daniela Amodei left OpenAI in 2021 to co-found Anthropic with her brother Dario and five others. Today, Anthropic is valued at $965 billion — surpassing OpenAI in revenue run rate — and is on a path to one of the largest IPOs in history. While OpenAI built for scale through consumers, Anthropic went deep into enterprise. The result? $47 billion in annualized revenue versus OpenAI’s $30 billion. At Liberty Ventures we pay close attention to the companies reshaping how business gets done — and both OpenAI and Anthropic are at the top of that list. We invested in both because we believe they align with our thesis. We share insights with our network on the categories and companies we’re tracking. Join us to follow what we’re watching next. → libertyventures.vc

Logan Cuvo started Best Damn Tape at 18 with frustration and a hockey stick. Today he runs $150,000 ARR, supplies the Philadelphia Flyers, and lands shelves at Walmart. All before graduating college. In this episode, @amccobin sits down with Logan to break down: - How he spotted a billion dollar gap in the sports tape market - Why he picked PVC over polyethylene and changed the product - The mindset shift from pro hockey prospect to founder - How he plans to take market share from 3M - The networking principle that opens doors at any age Logan moved away from home at 15 to chase hockey. He walked away to build something bigger. Watch the full episode of Capitalists for Capitalism now: youtu.be/_bz9JCYuUU0

Every market we invest in exists because people who came before us paid in service, in work, and sometimes in lives — for the institutions, the rule of law, the property rights, and the trust mechanisms that make capital allocation possible. Free markets aren't free in the casual sense. They're expensive in the historical one. Today's a good day to remember that, and to be more deliberate about how we deploy what we have. At Liberty Ventures, we believe building companies that expand economic freedom is one of the most meaningful ways to honor that legacy. Happy Memorial Day. Join us at libertyventuresnetwork.com/

Most people never think about whose money they're spending, or on whom. Milton Friedman mapped it out decades ago. There are four ways to spend money: - Your money on yourself. You watch price and quality. - Your money on someone else. You watch price, but not quality. - Someone else's money on yourself. You watch quality, but not price. - Someone else's money on someone else. You watch neither. That last category is government spending. No incentive to economize. No incentive to seek value. Just other people's money, spent on other people's priorities. In this episode of the Liberty Ventures Podcast, CEO @amccobin speaks with @PaulSippil about how the incentives behind spending shape every economic decision you make. A must-listen for anyone who wants to understand where money really goes, and why. Link here: youtu.be/5_ILU-jRDdE

There is a framework most professionals follow without questioning it. Phase 1: make money. Phase 2: do something meaningful with it. @johnwcoleman rejects this entirely. His argument is simple. Significance is not a destination you retire into. It is the operating model. You do not need unlimited wealth to matter. You need work you care about, skills you have built, and the willingness to stop delaying what actually drives you. The full conversation with John Coleman is on YouTube.
