LFG! @AdamSteinle 🚀🚀
We've raised $20M in funding to accelerate our mission of becoming the definitive, trusted name in peptides.

7/ Why now?
@WillVentures argues we’re moving from the attention economy to an outcomes economy.
The next generation of consumer products won’t just capture attention. They’ll help people get things done.
Fired up to be working with @ScottHickle and the entire @ThroneScience team!
I'm thrilled to share that @ThroneScience has raised $10M to advance our vision of building a smoke detector for colon cancer.
We started this company three years ago, and in that short period of time we built a world-class health tracker that our members often compare to Apple.
That's exactly what we were going for, and we're just getting started.
I am incredibly grateful for the support of our investors, my co-founders, our team, and, most importantly, our members.
In particular, I want to thank @BennyG49 and the team at Will Ventures, @KatieS for being our Day One, Fern Mandelbaum, Warren Shaeffer, Max Mullen, Tara Viswanathan, Justin Driscoll, Justin Mares, and all those whose belief have made this next chapter possible.
My younger brother recently said it best: twenty years ago, it was a crazy idea to sleep in a stranger's home or ride in a stranger's car.
In twenty years, it will be crazy not to have a camera in your toilet.
Throne has the unique opportunity to save a million lives. I cannot imagine a more meaningful way to spend my life than to work in the service of this mission.
Let’s go @robpetrozzo
After the OG tip-in Knicks/Spurs Game 4, I watched Josh Hart walk off w the ball.
- I wanted it
- All my friends wanted it
- Every collector wanted it
So @web4O and I built a DAO to go get it at Sotheby's when bidding opens Monday
This is our chance

Amazing read.
“Our psyche wants something to believe in. We want our work to matter, our sacrifice to mean something, our talents to be recognized by people who can actually do something with them. That does not make us naive. It makes us human. Great companies have always been new containers for that need. They are not just vehicles for products or profits. They are structures for ambition.”

Tokenized “real-world” assets (RWAs) have surged 10x in two years, now topping $30B — with nearly half held in U.S. Treasury debt.
The growth reflects rising institutional demand to put traditional financial instruments onchain, from government bonds and commodities to equities and private credit. While U.S. Treasuries dominate today, the asset class is broadening, with more categories gaining meaningful share in recent quarters.
Note: RWAs are traditional financial instruments such as government bonds, commodities, and equities that are represented onchain as tokens.
The Enhanced Games (@enhanced_games) are rightfully controversial
But using a high-impact event with top athletes + prize pool as customer acquisition for a DTC peptides business isn’t the craziest vision
Public today ($ENHA), extremely strong meme stock potential here

Going through all the cards in the @Firmcap VC deck
Awesome stuff, but we’re def missing a Draper in either OGs or Founding Fathers! Absolute royalty of the game

Today we announce Thrive Eternal, a permanent capital holding company that will be concentrated in a small number of assets that we can own and steward over many decades.
Across Thrive Capital and Thrive Holdings, we are building and investing through a moment of exponential change; backing emerging technologies, the infrastructure that powers them, and the businesses they can transform.
Increasingly, we see a fourth category.
These are assets with qualities that cannot be replicated by technology. Iconic franchises and cultural institutions rooted in tradition, identity, and shared experience. In a world shaped by abundant intelligence where creation scales and distribution fragments, we believe they will matter even more.
Thrive Eternal is built on the belief that the most enduring of these assets share common characteristics: they benefit from long-term stewardship, they compound through cultural resonance, and they are enhanced by technology rather than displaced by it.
Our work at Thrive has always been informed and inspired by a deep appreciation for product, brand, and the ways in which consumers form lasting relationships with the things they love. We have been building towards this for a long time.
Our first partnership is expected to be with the San Francisco Giants - an institution built on more than a century of shared identity and community, and among the most iconic sports franchises in America. We have reached an agreement, subject to league approval, to acquire an ownership stake. We feel privileged by the opportunity to be long-term partners to the Giants.
Awesome chatting with Vino @caa_sports. Incredible how these guys work with athletes on their media careers
Athletes are thinking like owners, and Vino Levine is leading the charge.
Turning Travis Kelce into a media mogul? Levine played a role. Signing Josh Allen to Skydance? CAA had a hand in that.
Players are getting paid millions of dollars for their performance on the field, and by investing in themselves while they’re still at the top of their game, they can set themselves up for even more success.
Check out our full interview with Michael “Vino” Levine here: youtube.com/watch?v=Of5GtcIc…

USA Hockey didn’t win by accident. 🦅
It was built on decades of relationships, reps, and the unglamorous work behind the scenes.

In 2011, all eyes were on LeBron James and the Miami Heat, and Michael Levine was steering the ship.
His agency represented LeBron, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Pat Riley, and Erik Spoelstra, and getting all of those legends on the same team was his top priority at the time.
Fans talk about the “player empowerment era,” but “Vino” is the one who ushered it in. We talked to him about that and the other blockbuster moves he’s made during his decades-long career as one of the most powerful men in sports.
