Streaming, NIL, global audiences, and more are changing the game in sports and entertainment. It was great to be back in NYC to discuss the future of the industry at SEO AICON 2026 with Taj Clayton, Leon Henderson, Jr., and @LorinePendleton. 🏈

Amazing dinner with many of our founders and friends tonight! Truly magical to bring together so many people we care about and have spent so much time with. This is the quintessential essence of angel investing I’ll tag and thank everyone later.

Big congrats to @shearshare feature on the @today with @ShearShareCEO and @drtyecaldwell discussing their company that allows hair salon owners to rent empty barbershop and hair salon chairs. Proud to have them as a @Portfolia1 Rising America investment. #FutureOfWork #ShearShare – at Highlands, NJ
Husband and wife duo Tye @drtyecaldwell and Courtney Caldwell @ShearShareCEO run their own hair care business but noticed a problem: empty chairs. They came up with the @shearshare app that has been a game changer 💇
