Venture to the People

 

 

 

populism

Private venture investment is the primary catalyst for the creation of new jobs, private wealth, personal liberty and our economic security. It is the lifeblood of American economic principles and ideals. Yet private investment opportunities are disproportionately accessible to investment bankers and venture capitalist elites that seek to control deal flow and allocate private capital for their own economic benefit. Moreover, private investment is under increasing assault from the regulatory and tax polices of politicians which invariably impede our nation’s greatest means of wealth creation.

 

Private investment opportunities must be accessible to more individuals, transact freely with fewer tax and regulatory encumbrances and be independent of the control of elites and special interests to be embraced by a broader populace in pursuit of personal economic liberty. 

 

  • Private investment and private enterprise are the  largest sources of private wealth.
  • Modern Portfolio Theory, the equity risk premium, traditional asset-allocation models and buy-and-hold investing have been materially discredited over the past 80 years.
  • Positive asymmetric outcomes, Safety, Liquidity and Income are the critical components required to build better investment portfolios.
  • With proper dedication, individual investors can educate themselves to become more familiar with best practices in evaluating private investment opportunities.
  • Individual investors have far greater access to “deal flow” than they may realize.
  • More growth-seeking investors should consider private investment opportunities for their portfolios.
  • Venture capitalists and investment banks enjoy a substantially disproportionate share of private venture investment opportunities.
  • Confiscatory, redistributive and double-dipping tax policy discourages private venture investment activity and encumbers its efficacy as a means of wealth creation.
  • Small and new business ventures are invariably the largest sector of new job creation and wealth creation.
  • Individual private investment in private venture is prudent, patriotic and pro-growth

 

At its core, Venture Populist provides investor education and advocates regulatory and tax policies that maintain a marketplace that enables more individual investors to pursue the creation of wealth through investments in private ventures.

 

Investment in private ventures promotes innovation, economic growth, jobs, private wealth, as well as, our national economic security.

 

 

Venture Populist seeks to educate, encourage and empower more individual investors and financial advisors to become participants in the patriotic and wealth-creating enterprise of private venture investment.
