Ep. 121: Ray Carey, Level Equity | Prioritizing Resources to Drive Portfolio Returns
Q: 704403: And then how do you execute on all that to ensure effectiveness? I'm curious, how do you manage that across the broader portfolio? How are you diagnosing or prioritizing where you're diverting your limited resources or where these companies need help?
Ray explains a framework for prioritization and resource allocation, including two engagement models (coach and cheer) and a play mode with strategic vendors to scale efforts, always tying actions to fund returns.

Ep. 117: Scott Neuberger, Karmel Capital | Data-Driven Secondaries in Software and AI
Q: How do you vet a company to ensure there's a clear exit path within two to three years, and how do you price entries to achieve strong returns?
They use a venture-capital-style multi-step process focusing on market trends, growth efficiency (capital efficiency), management track records, and investor base momentum to narrow down to a manageable set of companies, aiming for exits via IPOs or acquisitions within a 2-3 year horizon.
Ep. 117: Scott Neuberger, Karmel Capital | Data-Driven Secondaries in Software and AI
Q: So, is your business mainly through the secondary side, or do you act as lead investors in primary rounds as well?
They are primarily secondary investors and not lead investors; they prefer passive involvement to thoroughly analyze trends and manage capital allocation, while aiding management when appropriate.
