I will only touch on Predator and Whale Type Startups. Predator Predator is like a company setting off a nuke, while being the only one in a bomb shelter!?It’s a long-term play.?If Walmart, Google, Apple or Amazon were launching their company today, they would be considered a Predator Startup.?Cutthroat prices, that’s designed to eliminate their competitors.?Committed to losing money in order to gain market share.?The other points that define a Predator Startup I will not share. Whale Out of all the different types of startups out there a “Whale” is the most advance and has a built-in structure that reduces the time a company can achieve an Exit (5 years)! It is a private company with revenue projections of $1 trillion or more within 5 years or less without being listed on the stock market.??It can reach a 30% to 70% Cash Flow faster than any of the other Startup to date no matter which Business Model they use. And its revenue growth offset market risk.?The only Flaw a “Whale” has; this is where the phrase "You can't eat your cake and have it too" come into to play.??A company can never run at full capacity. It must operate between 25% and 60%.??A “Whale” is worse than a Predator Startup. On day one a “Whale” is the market.?A Startup can rapidly grow the company or take its time to fully understand the market they are becoming.?And the remaining 40% that they leave on the table is what their competitors will fight over!?TAM, SAM, and SOM no longer apply because a “Whale” is the market, and they must determine what percentage they will leave again, on the table for their competitors to fight over. Out all the type of startups out there, a Whale is more of a generational type of investment option, for an investor looking for a quick return on their investment.?Revenue-Value can be generated in 5 years compared to 10 to 20 years with the other types of startups. And it can make it tough for any investor not to roll the dice when they get the opportunity to invest in a whale! And here’s the punchline; lets say a Whale hits it revenue projections of $1.5 trillion, in it 5th year, at a 50% Capacity Rate, what would it valuation be then? Becoming a Predator: Nike, and Gucci need to learn how to become a Predator. Both companies have lost sales and market share, and yet they are still market leaders’ revenue wise.?But to regain the market share and sales they have lost or losing to multi competitors, changing the CEO is not enough.?So, when I meet with a company I try to keep it as simple as possible. Because it’s tough for some executive to embrace the thought that they don’t have the answers for the problem(s) their company is facing…?This is Why They Bring Me In!? When I have time I am always open to help a friend. It also allows me to raise money for charity. I normally give them 3 names and let them select the charity they send my fee to... #unicorn #camel #zebra #predator #whale #startups #vc #seedinvestor

Every now and then you have to put your finger on the scale in order to change the outcome.?And in Hollywood it’s easy to do, especially when it comes to movies.??Not a single person that watched the 2025 Oscars had a clue that Anora was the film to beat!?Mikey Madison had the perfect film to showcase her talent and when I saw it, I saw dollar signs.?I first looked at the data and rated the scenes before I sent out a whisper, to my followers and members.?I waited for the want??Measured it and then I knew the amount I could make. And this is how "Gone Fishing" allows you to make money. Whenever the want is in play you can change or shape the outcome.?And last night another Masterpiece was in full view.?I fed my Smart Ai my data and it picked every winner. And then I went to bed just to get woken up a thousand times. Now, the 2025 Oscars wasn't nothing to write home about because I already knew who was going to win the top 4 prizes, so I didn’t need to watch it.?The fun part came after the show was over when people started asking each other the big question Did You See 'Anora' and what’s it about??Everyone was too focused on Wicked!?But one must always go beyond the Big Picture in front of you, to make money in hollywood. These are the four reasons people watch a 20-Hour Show: ? Best actor: Adrien Brody, "The Brutalist" ? Best director: Sean Baker, "Anora" ? Best actress: Mikey Madison, "Anora" ? Best picture: "Anora" I made it back to the U.S. just in time to gift wrapped “Anora” to the rest of the world.?It only made about $7 million at the box office, but I knew if it was nominated, it would generate more than $200 million for Moviegazoo.?We have already passed $200 million and now it’s time to find the next Oscars Sleeper. What people in Hollywood still don’t understand making a movie is the easy part, unlocking the different revenue streams is what makes watching a movie fun for me…??Because a movie only fails at the box office when a company don’t understand their own data and the little changes that’s take place in the world of Music, Movies, Fashion and Social Media.

It has been a hell of a week.?I have taken in 6 Private Events and managed to stay under the radar.?Not seeking to shape any deals while I am here in Milan, just want to take in the last couple of events then jump on the company plane and head back to the U.S…. Here is my updated press release.?I removed all the clues from this, since 3 people has figured out the message in yesterday challenge.?And each member will have $10k transferred to their virtual account. ? A Grammer Error is not always a error when I design something. ?Yesterday I created a maze of errors and left out key words, that people playing have to add in to solve a clue. ?When you know how its played there is never just one… It is really fun trying to figure out what word or phrase unlocks a clue… Non-members of Moviegazoo or my other venture would only see a Grammer Error and then move on. Only 123 million members & my followers have read or downloaded my press release; but only 3 members so far have managed to put all the clues together.?If no one else is able to put all the clues in my press release together these 3 members will get an extra $10k.?And next time I will dumb it down. Now knowing the people that work for me, someone is going to feed it into our Ai system.??And as soon as they do, the code I have integrated in my press release is going to shut down their Ai Partner and then lock them out of their Virtual Screen. Press Release with no clues or codes… #WealthCreation #lvmh #kering #fashionweek #runway #catwalk #models #5G #TechStocks #ArtificialIntelligence #Investor #DigitalTransformation #FutureTech #BrandPower #MarketingStrategy #LuxuryTech #TechTrends #BusinessGrowth #SuccessStory?#fashionlevel8 #moviegazoo #flattoast #digitalcircle #fashionhub #startups #founders #cofounders #venturecapital #hermes #richemont

New Pitch Deck Structure. The internet is flooded with Pitch Decks. And copying other ventures pitch deck won't help you get funding... New Pitch Deck Structure: Problem Solution Team (A Whale works best when there's only One Founder) Local Market Size (Out grow your local market first.) Build Mode (How Funds Will Be Used Goes in This Section) Revenue Mode Revenue Projections (Revenue Mode, 1st Year Only) Traction The Ask The X Terms (Investors are Greedy by nature, so feed their Greed!) ??????? (I am not sharing page info at this time.) When you are building a $Trillion Whale terms has to be shaped different. And a "Whale" is something you guard with your life! Because a Whale is a growth engine type of company and can't be measured the same way as a traditional startup. A Whale is the Market! I am going to write this again, a "Whale" is the MARKET!!! It takes only 2 to 3 years to build a Whale... And in the 3rd year you want to switch into Revenue Mode. First year revenue should be between $50 million and $300 million. So try to get rid of your investors before the 6th year. Again, $2 billion Cash Flow is totally different than $200 billion Cash Flow. ?Unicorn valued at over $1 billion, but a Whale is value at over $1 trillion, and its based on Revenue...Good Old Cash Flow... Fashion is an industry you can build a Whale around. Banking, Gaming, vSports (Virtual Sport Leagues), Environment Real Estate (Replaces Commercial Real Estate) Travel and Digital Ai Hosting. You only need enough funds to get you to Revenue Mode. You have to find investors that's open to higher return instead of wanting a board seat or equity. Again, its ok to offer a investor 20X at the end of 5 years. Pay 10X at the end of the 3rd year, and the balance at the beginning of the 5th year. Why you ask? Your Cash Flow will jump by more than 30% in the 5th year. So pay them to go away... For $150 million I would give a investor $3 billion without blinking an eye to go away... Equity is something you should never give away. I made my Executive Team the people that started with me Rich! The type of rich where you never have to work again RICH!!! Always remember investing in a new startup comes with risk, but everyone on LinkedIn only focus on the investor level of risk. But I am going to end this here... #Apple #TechInnovation #AI #StockMarket #iPhone #SiliconValley #AR #CloudComputing #MachineLearning #ApplePay #WallStreet #EVs #5G #TechStocks #ArtificialIntelligence #Investor #DigitalTransformation #FutureTech #BrandPower #MarketingStrategy #LuxuryTech #TechTrends #BusinessGrowth #SuccessStory #WealthCreation #lvmh #kering #fashionweek #runway #catwalk #models #fashionlevel8 #moviegazoo #flattoast #digitalcircle #fashionhub #startups #founders #cofounders #venturecapital #hermes #richemont

A lot of people ask me why I use only photos in most my fashion videos??I use photos and video in my content, but when I post content outside my Digital Network my features don’t work by design. But when I use photos it allows me to move images around in a non-traditional way, that force consumers to watch the video more than once, thus giving me the opportunity to connect a member or non-member to what they are watching. Still or Photos are more direct, in your face, whereas video has a lot of movement and sometimes I want a person to focus on a particular item a model is wearing.? "The Money Shot Is The Best A Model Will Look On The Runway...This is what I Normally Use." With more than 1.2 billion followers I know what I create is going to be seen by 40 million members or more, so I want all of them to see the same thing and Stills or Photos allows me to do this. Everything on a model is a potential product, so when I hold a Virtual Fashion Show, I can place a 12-D element in front of my members that no Fashion House can and when you can keep a consumer eye on the clothes a model is wearing you can sell more than $300 million worth of products within a 2-hour period. I think we made more than $1 billion in sales during our last Virtual Fashion Show... When consumers are too busy looking at celebrities a designer is actually losing sales, and a fashion show only lasts about 10 to 30 minutes if a designer is lucky. So, as a Master Designer I focus on how many sales a can get with each step a model takes on the runway, and the number of times a member watches my videos. Sometimes I use 4 different elements to bring a member close to buying what they are seeing.?And then I tell them it not for sale which makes them want it more.?Once must be open to using a thousand different way in order to reach your sales objective.?But I stay clear of Shock Fashion it can kill a brand. With 13 key areas that I Master in Fashion is just one of them. So, when I am focusing on Fashion I try to see things through my Mother Eyes, by focusing on the things she taught me growing up. "Simple Beauty" will always sell, so always try to still within the Figure 8 Method she once said.?She believed that?you can fit every woman shape into the Prefect Figure 8. And I have spent more than 20 years trying to master the Perfect Figure 8. So, when I am working with a new designer I am designing from a distance, in order to get them to see the prefect cut or color and to understand how movement will change each… Now You Know Why! #ThomBrowne #MichaelKors #AliceOlivia #Ashlyn #CalvinKlein #Theory #Toteme #ArmaniPrive #ElieSaab #Schiaparelli #Chanel #Dior #RahulMishra #GeorgesHobeika #GiambattistaValli #StephaneRolland #JeanPaulGaultier #ZuhairMurad #lvmh #kering #fashionweek #runway #catwalk #models #fashionlevel8 #moviegazoo #flattoast #digitalcircle #fashionhub #5G #DigitalTransformation #FutureTech #BrandPower #MarketingStrategy #LuxuryTech #TechTrends #WealthCreation
