Congrats to tech-enabled home services platform Zephyr for raising a $60M round, led by Elda River, The Pritzker Organization, and Juxtapose! Under CEO Shawn Weidmann's leadership, Zephyr is tackling their mission to perfect the home services experience through technology for technicians and customers alike. The HVAC, electrical, and plumbing market is in a time of huge transition. While the industry captures over $125B spend each year, its currently facing a 50% projected technician labor shortage that is set to undermine an already fragmented market. Zephyr is working to solve this problem by utilizing technology and people management to differentially attract and retain technicians. Zephyr is Juxtapose's first Platform Build, led by partner Geoff Miller. Zephyr acquires local service providers in targeted markets, integrates them into a unified technology and productivity platform, and drives growth at those local brands with centralized support in recruiting, training, marketing, operations effectiveness, finance, M&A and more. This round brings Zephyr’s total funding to nearly $100M since it started operating in November 2022. We look forward to seeing how Shawn and team continue to grow Zephyr and bring much-needed innovation to the technician experience!

Congrats to team Earned Wealth on a transformative $200M fundraising round led by new investors Summit Partners and Silversmith Capital Partners (alongside existing investors Juxtapose, Hudson Structured Capital Management Ltd., and Breyer Capital)! John Clendening and his team have built a totally unique product for doctors - the first tech-enabled, integrated personal financial management platform offering wealth, tax, career advisory, insurance, and other services designed specifically for the complex needs of physicians. With an excellent financial and digital product already in place, we’re thrilled to see Earned expanding their platform and advancing their “full-stack” offering - starting with the acquisition of Thomas Doll, a leading provider of financial services to medical professionals and practices. We first launched Earned in partnership with John based on the insight that one of society’s most important groups of professionals was also one of the most financially underserved (not to mention burned out thanks in part to complicated financial stressors). Adding Darren Black and Jeffrey Crisan’s healthcare building expertise to the board will help further the vision to become the market leader in this large category. We’re proud to see the ways Earned has already begun creating life-changing outcomes for physicians and their families, and look forward to seeing how the company continues to innovate and grow in this exciting next chapter.?

Today we are mourning the loss of our dear friend, mentor, and chairman J. Michael Cline. Michael inspired all of us at Juxtapose–-not just with his incredible entrepreneurial leadership and passion, but with his authenticity, generosity, and the deep love he had for his family and friends. The amount of impact Michael had on us, as individuals and in the establishment of the firm, is impossible to measure. A trusted and beloved partner, who brought deep humanity to everything he worked on, Michael exemplified what it means to lead with heart, and we already miss him terribly. Thank you for everything, Michael.?- Patrick and Jed
