Simon started out his career, working for a bank as a systems developer. He managed to escape the corporate world in 2004 and start making a living as a private trader in the futures market. He also became an Angel Investor in early stage tech and has been running the two investment strategies successfully alongside each other for the last 19 years. With some good angel exits under his belt and having ridden out some very hairy investment cycles, he has achieved financial freedom, but still continues to work hard.

After buying Bitcoin in 2013, Simon took a deep dive down that rabbit hole and got a really good understand of the technology. Bringing together his understanding of economics, finance, technology and the psychology of human incentives he holds high hopes for decentralised systems. He now runs a team of developers that he funds out of his crypto investing profits. They have built Excliabur.FM, a decentralised audio application that enables NFTs of audio content.

Morgan Newman is a Director of Investments at Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. in the NYC Chrysler East office.

Chapin Newhard is Managing Partner at 48North Partners, an M&A advisory firm exclusively serving founders and privately held business owners. He helps entrepreneurs navigate the sale or transition of their businesses, bringing a rare combination of buy-side private equity experience and genuine entrepreneurial empathy to every engagement.
Before founding 48North, Chapin worked at Pine Tree Equity Partners, a Miami-based private equity firm focused on family-owned and founder-led service businesses, where he was actively involved in sourcing, due diligence, and end-to-end deal execution. That insider perspective on how buyers think and make decisions is something he now puts to work for sellers.
Raised in Colorado in a family of entrepreneurs, Chapin has a deep personal understanding of what it takes to build a business and what is truly at stake when it comes time to transition one. He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
48North Partners is fee-free to business owners. Chapin and his team are compensated only by the buyer at closing, meaning every conversation with a founder is completely no strings attached.
