Everyday investors often feel shut out of companies like SpaceX, Palantir and SoFi. In this luncheon clip, Tom says it isn’t because he’s a lawyer or because he has a lot of money of his own. Deal flow follows activity. Once you’re known as someone who actually closes deals, more of them show up.
His inbox has multiple groups regularly asking whether Ticker Tape wants more Kraken, or whether there’s interest in Anduril, or whatever is next. That happens because more than 200 people invest alongside him, because people see the group on social media and reach out, and because prior counterparties keep calling. The result, as he puts it, is a fire hose, not a trickle.
Key points
- Access to deals like SpaceX, Palantir and SoFi is rarely offered to investors who aren’t already in the flow.
- The invitations follow a track record of actually doing deals, not a job title or a single large personal check.
- Pooling capital with more than 200 investors is a big part of why those calls keep coming.
- Prior counterparties and inbound introductions add to the volume.
