Close to $4 Trillion wiped out in one day… Anthropics odds of going public this year just went from 95% to 71%
When the IPO window wobbles, private capital gets pickier.
Tonight's Capital Room: B2B AI, Enterprise, HealthTech & MedTech founders in front of a curated room of investors in NYC.
Great energy. More rooms coming in November 👇
At @StrtupBoost we're putting on The Capital Summit — Dec 16 in NYC.

Founders raising and investors looking for the next check: this is the room.
Details and tickets 👇
The world is catching on to onchain collectibles.
$CARDS is now on the Coinbase roadmap. A big milestone for Collector Crypt, with so much still ahead.

At @StrtupBoost we build curated rooms where founders meet capital. NYC is home, with events in other cities too:
🍽️ Investor Dinners
🤝 Capital Rooms
⛳ Golf & Pitch
800+ investors, VC's, Angels, Family Offices, etc. - Opted into our deal flow. Pre-seed to Series A.
Raising or investing? DM me 📩
Hot take: a $30M pre-seed isn't a pre-seed. It's a Series A with a different name.
Founders, don't benchmark your round against headlines. Benchmark against your traction.

$1M to $100M ARR in 8 months.
Lovable reported that milestone in July 2025.
Speed gets attention. Retention, margins and repeatable growth are what we’d ask about next.
Clock starts at $1M ARR, not founding.
Which startup should we break down next?

Ripmart turned a few heads at New York Comic Con.
Collectors, creators, and cosplayers came through for a glimpse at the future of live shopping.
You’ve been asking about Ripmart for months. Here’s a little of what’s coming.
Podcasting has no shortage of tools. The challenge is that creators often need several different platforms and partners to distribute, monetize, and grow a show.
@PODGOServices is building a more complete solution.
At our Capital Room Investor Night, Founder and CEO Tristan Capes-Davis shared that the platform is already working with more than 1,000 podcasters and continues to see daily signups.
The company is also working with larger creators and partnering with Earned Media as it pursues its bigger objective: helping launch the next breakout podcast.
In a fragmented creator economy, becoming the one-stop operating platform can be a powerful position.

I’ve been hosting founder + investor events in NYC for 12+ years.
As AI and technology make more of the world digital and democratize access to information, I think being IRL with the right people has actually become MORE valuable.
Real conversations. Real relationships. Real investors.
We have a full slate of curated @StrtupBoost investor events coming up in September across AI, FinTech, Web3, HealthTech, Sports/Media, Energy, Consumer + more.
Schedule is in the graphic.
