This podcast made me realize that as soon as an IPO is brought onto the market, the big money has already been made.
The past week episode was about 2022 predictions, one of which Chamath said p2p web 3.0 payment processing in Africa was going to be a huge win for him. I googled it and found a company Ajua that he seed invested in. There is essentially no way for a retail investor with no access to these private angel investment funds and without millions of dollars to take a gamble and invest to even be exposed to these riskier exponential growth opportunities.
It just further opened my eyes that odds are forever stacked against the retail investor. I think this is also why meme coins/stocks and nft’s have become so popular. It’s really difficult to gain entry into the big boys club.

Disclosure: Long 1,500 Units
Units trading at $10.50 with 1/2 of a warrant - as close to NAV as it gets. IPO’d January 25 so won’t be seeing a decouple until March ~18th.
The press releases for Jack Creek Investment Corp. have not done much justice for this one, which is why I believe it is trading at such a discount. Everything that’s been put out talks about grocery / consumer focus and these two real estate PE guys you’ve never heard of. I did a bit more digging and the team below the KSH Capital team is quite impressive, as detailed below.
They are clearly targeting a tech company within the food and grocery logistics and supply chain technology space based on their prospectus and the silicon valley team they’ve compiled. Potential sub-sectors of focus: on-demand warehouse management systems, automated fulfillment, vertical farming, AI-enabled transportation management systems, autonomous delivery, online grocery and supply chain and logistics management.
The focus on a niche software vertical should prove to be advantageous in an ever crowding technology generalist SPAC market with more blank checks than appropriate targets.
Jeffrey E. Kelter (Exec Chair) and Robert F. Savage (CEO) Co-Founders of real estate investment firm KSH Capital since 2015. Prior to founding KSH Capital, the pair founded and led KTR from 2005 to 2015, a leading private equity real estate investment and operating company that focused on logistics properties serving leading players in eCommerce fulfillment, refrigerated and frozen food supply chains and consumer packaged goods companies such as Amazon, Fresh&Easy, Wakefern Food Corp., Preferred Freezer and Georgia Pacific Consumer Products. KTR invested over $7 billion of capital across 215 transactions.
Thomas Jermoluk (President) is co-founder and CEO of Beyond Identity a cybersecurity company specializing in passwordless identity management (has raised over $100m in venture funding from top firms including NEA). Previously was General Partner at Kleiner Perkins (KPCB), one of Silicon Valley’s oldest and most established venture capital firms and from 1996-2000 he was Chairman and CEO of @Home Networks, a highspeed internet service pioneer.

First post - I’m thankful for the wealth of info and advices this group has provided. I’m impressed that the super fat fire subset live quite humbly and monitor/ minimize their expenses in the posts I read.
40 yo, subspecialty MDs, saw several non- medicine, especially tech peers of the same age group are far far ahead in term of net worth. We started working at later age after college, med school, and almost a decade of residency and fellowship trainings. Our compensations have been exactly the same after fellowship. The work is hard but I love the part of medicine of saving lives and improving quality of lives. We are in extremely competitive subspecialties and after all these years of extremely hard work, I truly felt deflated and defeated. The weather here doesn’t help. I can’t get used to PNW winter weather.
Our largest expenses are supporting parents and in laws, childcare, and mortgage. We have a small house mortgage, avoiding jumbo loan. Like elsewhere in VHCOL, the house appreciated by 1 mil since we purchased few years ago. We lost ~ 100 k and another 100 k in SO lost wages in failed startups that my SO cofounded in this past 2 years. Family travel expenses usually < 15 k/ year: Econ direct flights, mid range hotels (Hilton, hyatt, etc), Hawaii and mid range MX all inclusive. We went to Europe and Asia pre pandemic; the kids are thriving when they travel with us exploring the world or just relaxing at the pool. We usually go to 1 big trip (2 weeks) and 1 Hawaii trip (2 weeks) per year.
I saw my partners buying 5 mil houses, boats, luxury cars, ski vacation, and all the toys. I feel that we are doing our best in minimizing our expenses.
We are thinking of moving to Bay Area, San Diego, LA (Irvine). Bay Area would be #1 choice. My MD spouse is in tech as well and Bay area would offer more opportunities. I still regret our decisions not to take jobs there few years ago.
I’m worried that we won’t find jobs there. Maybe it’s my limiting belief. Our subspecialty is extremely taxing: calls, extremely long hours without sleep, highly acute work. I transitioned into a less taxing job with pay cut few years ago; I believe this was the reason I could carry our youngest baby to term after several mc in my old job. My SO makes more than double my salary (same subspecialty). I’m worried I can’t find a similar practice to my current job.
Advice? Anyone in medicine in this group and any advice/ encouragement?
Side note: Our oldest (10) wants to be
