Last week, we hosted our 2nd Conductive Ventures CEO Summit where we brought together our amazing Founders, CEOs and Friends. We understand that the Founder/CEO journey can be a lonely one. Sometimes, the only people in this world that can empathize with you are other founders who have been there and done that. The entrepreneurial journey does NOT have to be a lonely one. I think what makes our gathering unique is that we create a safe space for our Founders to be vulnerable. In a world where high performance achievement is idolized, even worshipped, sometimes you need room to be honest and transparent dealing with very difficult challenges. So often, we find ourselves always putting on a happy face that everything is going great when that's just not true. It's like group therapy for founders. One key takeaway for me is that it's not just the results, but the process that matters. If you invest in good process, more often than not, you'll achieve better than expected outcomes. It's a bit subtle, but the importance of being process oriented over results oriented yields better results. I'm incredibly grateful for everyone who joined us: Anthony G., Changxiao X., Chris Kelly, Darrin Murriner, Donghao Li, Duke Chung, Erik Osland, Yi Dong, Fumihide Esaka, Juan Jaysingh, Justin Yoshimura, Kevin Chou, Meirav Oren (Fainaru), Peter Sullivan, Purva Gupta, Sean Whalin, Steven Jiang, Steven Hong, PhD, Vijay Chittoor, Joshua Y. Lee, Charles Huang, Hiroaki Kuwajima, Deborah Liu, Ed Han, David Aung, Ben Choi, Alexander Emmanuel, & many others who don't have LinkedIn accounts, but are equally as valued. A huge thank you to the entire Conductive Ventures team for tirelessly putting on this event.

Again, another round of congrats to the Resident team, especially Eric Hutchinson and Ran Reske on this phenomenal exit. What's more exciting than unicorn valuations is unicorn exits. We've been proud investors at Conductive Ventures for many years. Why did Resident win in a category that many investors didn't like? It's all about execution!!!

Congratulations to the entire team at Jackpocket. Jackpocket was one of our first portfolio companies when we started Conductive Ventures back in 2017. It certainly was a capital efficient investment in a non-traditional entrepreneur, Peter Sullivan and non-obvious at the time. Over time, we got to work with some exceptional folks including Sean Siuda, Carter Vance, Michelle Wong, Leo Shemesh and many others including Jonathan Ebinger, Cheryl Cheng, Adam Rothstein, Yash Patel, Harley Miller and Jason Fiedler (ie not ei).

What an incredible journey this has been working with the entire Jackpocket team. I still remember the first time I met Peter Sullivan hosting him at our offices. I’m both excited and sad. I’m excited for the next evolution of Jackpocket. I’m sad that I won’t be able to be part of it. It’s a little like sending your kids off to college.
Excited to announce a monumental milestone in our journey: Jackpocket has entered into an agreement to be acquired by DraftKings! 🚀 This transaction is far from an endpoint; rather, it marks the thrilling start of a new chapter. Together, we're poised to revolutionize the lottery experience, and make it more accessible, enjoyable, and responsible for everyone. This achievement is a testament to our incredible team's dedication and hard work over the past decade. Against all odds, we've transformed what many believed impossible into a groundbreaking company. As we move forward, our commitment to reinventing the lottery will continue to enhance the customer experience and increase innovation. - “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence… Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
