Raising $3.2 Billion in Capital: Lessons from 500+ Founder Deals

What does it take to raise over $3.2 billion across more than 500 deals? In this candid conversation, Dr. Thomas J Powell shares insights from his 35-year career in capital strategy, highlighting the importance of relationships, referrals, and long-term trust over splashy campaigns or promises of returns.

Dr. Powell explains how his capital deployments have always been rooted in discretion, diligence, and personal connection—working one investor and one founder at a time. He outlines the frameworks his firm uses to evaluate deals, manage expectations, and maintain a founder-centric philosophy even when navigating risk and volatility.
