On July 19 starting at 8:30am, we host a conference at Forty 1° North (351 Thames St.) in Newport. We start with a session for PCI investors: Principals of family offices, CIOs and Institutional. At 9:30am we move to a wider conference with Panels including founders and fund managers. There are other events happening over July 18-20 in and around Opal’s conference which has over 500 RSVPs - see excerpt here: https://bit.ly/opal22rsvps.

Here is a link to RSVPs for our July 19 event (https://bit.ly/361newport_rsvps) as of last week. We will update it and expect many more investors added from new joiners as well as more spill-over from Opal; in fact we will have vans taking people from Gurney's to Forty 1 North starting at 8am.

On the 18th at 1-3pm, we will have 3 Pickleball courts not far from Gurney’s, thanks to the organizational skills and efforts of Bo Beatty (who was also at our Naples Pickleball Mixer). There are also evening events on the 18th and 19th.

You can see updates on the Newport Agenda and indicate interest at 361firm.com/newport22.

Speaking of crypto, Sherry Witter went on CNBC to share basically what she told us at our lunch in Greenwich. “Witter Family Office bets big on crypto, ‘still believes’ in blockchain. CNBC’s Robert Frank sits down for an interview with Witter Family Office co-founder and CIO Sherry Witter to discuss her beginnings and why she is betting big on crypto and ‘still believes’ in blockchain technology.”

(1) Our App is accessible via Web (www.361Firm.App), via iOS or Android.

(2) Deals/Funds. Below is an excerpt from our no-name Shared Deal Pipeline of recently onboarded funds/deals. Upon onboarding a deal or fund, our team reviews them that often leads to “inbound” inquiries from the community which focuses us even more on certain entries. If we think a fund/deal might be compelling, we set up a Zoom to learn more and might discuss how we might act as a placement agent. We can send an MOU of basic terms. If agreed, we engage in due diligence in association with our broker-dealer Stonehaven. If we enter into a Mandate Agreement, we then can show it to suitable investors and can make use of our extensive network and 100+ bankers. Here is a deck on 361Firm acting as a placement agent: www.bit.ly/361_ibanking.

(3) Ohio Projects. Given my history and Ohio’s unique programs including JobsOhio, if you might locate or expand to Ohio, our team can assist in coordination with Lt. Governor Jon Husted, JobsOhio CEO JP Nauseef and others. “Ohio Projects” can be small such as adding an office or outsourcing to an Ohio-based company or as large as Intel’s $20B chip plant near my hometown (for which Ohio provided ~$2B of incentives). Submit relevant info via 361firm.com/ohio and 361’s Ohio Team (including Vlad Kapustin and Joe Jarabek) will review and follow up. Meanwhile, join our Ohio Project Update and Pipeline Zooms on Fridays at 10am by joining our App’s Ohio Group.

(4) As a Strategic Advisor or Partner. People and Partners are often the key to finding, vetting or leading opportunities. I saw that in our family office and more so daily with 361. You can Onboard Yourself as a Strategic Advisor and search our Shared Sheet of 361Firm Strategic Advisors & Partners (and this Slide Deck of Advisors).

(5) Request for Talent & Partners. As we connect the dots for our Strategic Advisors and Partners, we will enable our network to onboard not only “job posts” but also Requests for Partners. We will share soon our new Connecting! web page.

(6) Events. We encourage our community to onboard events (your suggestions for 361 or one you are hosting, attending or think worthy of note) via https://361firm.com/onbe. It will immediately appear on the Shared 361 Community Event Sheet. You can also post them on our 361Firm.App.

Again, before Monday’s edition, we will share our Co-Leader web page and form for adding job posts as well as other Requests for Partners.
