John Toomey and the price of patience
His parents trusted their union pensions. Nearly three decades into a career at HarbourVest, John Toomey is asking what it takes to bring that same investment discipline to a much wider public.
Vinayak Magotra and the art of choosing less

Mark Goodwin Built a Fund Platform for Managers the Market Missed

Damián Scavo Is Teaching AI to Do the Homework of Money
Before financial AI became a category, Scavo had already spent two decades moving between code, markets and data. Streetbeat is his attempt to turn that unusual apprenticeship into an agent that can make financial work less manual - without pretending judgment has disappeared.
Taylor Pearson
Taylor Pearson is the CEO and co-founder of Mutiny Fund, a multi-strategy long volatility and tail-risk hedge fund whose sub-advisors manage over $10 billion in client assets. Before building Mutiny, he wrote 'The End of Jobs' (2015), an Amazon #1 bestseller translated into five languages that argued entrepreneurship had become safer than employment. He runs 'Interesting Times,' a monthly newsletter for 27,000+ founders, investors, and executives exploring complex systems, finance, and the future of work. A former college football offensive lineman who once marched for Bolivian workers' rights in Argentina, Pearson cold-called his way into digital marketing at minimum wage before buying a software company and eventually co-founding a hedge fund - all while living across eight countries.
