    Are you struggling to bridge the gap between retail investors and massive institutional allocators?

    Most fund managers believe they are getting rejected because of their track record or IRR, but the truth is far more clinical: they simply aren't "institutional ready."

    In this master class episode of Making Billions, Ryan Miller reveals the institutional mindset to why returns alone never close institutional capital.

    If you want to raise capital from pension funds, endowments, or sovereign wealth funds, you must stop thinking like a salesperson and start thinking like a steward of capital.

  • Pre-Seed Secrets: What Investors Really Look for (It’s Not Your Pitch Deck!)
    Jan 26 2026

    "RAISE CAPITAL LIKE A LEGEND: https://go.fundraisecapital.co/apply"

    Stop picking founders the old school way—it’s the fastest path to investment failure in 2026.

    In this episode of Making Billions, Ryan Miller sits down with Joe Alalou, General Partner at Daring Ventures, to reveal the new blueprint for Pre-Seed and Venture Capital success.

    Joe shares the "Daring Ventures" filter for identifying generational founders, in an era where AI has turned technical skills into a commodity, the "alpha" has shifted to human traits that machines can't replicate: grit, tenacity, and an undeniable right to win.

    This isn't just a manifesto on investing; it's a tactical guide to navigating the 2026 investment climate, mastering deal flow, and scaling a fund when information is incomplete.
