Over the course of his career, Craig Bonn has dedicated more than thirty years to developing strategies that help investors participate in opportunities outside of traditional markets. He focuses on alternative investments, private equity, and pre-IPO companies. Today, he is the Managing Partner of Harley Capital LLC, an independent broker-dealer, and the Managing Member of Edge Partners LLC, which organizes Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) for accredited investors seeking access to late-stage private companies. His professional record includes exposure to various industries—technology, healthcare, energy, and consumer markets—and early involvement in companies such as Facebook, Databricks, and Anthropic.

Craig’s path began in New York, where he was born and raised, before pursuing his undergraduate education at the University of Hartford. Soon after completing his degree, he joined Lehman Brothers. Working at the firm placed him amid global financial activity, where he learned to evaluate risk, manage portfolios, and advise clients across diverse situations. While the environment was demanding and competitive, it also revealed to him the limitations of conventional financial instruments. He observed that not every client’s long-term goals could be met through traditional markets alone, which inspired him to look more closely at alternatives.

Guided by this insight, Craig established Harley Capital LLC. He aimed to create an independent, transparent, and long-term client service firm. Harley Capital grew into a boutique investment company, serving high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and trusts. Clients of Harley Capital benefit from carefully selected opportunities in areas such as private equity and pre-IPO investments, which are often beyond the reach of conventional investors. The firm emphasizes diversification, clear communication, and fiduciary responsibility as central to its mission.

Craig further extended his professional focus through Edge Partners LLC. At Edge Partners, he applies the SPV model to give accredited investors structured participation in pre-IPO and late-stage venture opportunities. Organized under a Delaware Series LLC, the firm is efficient and flexible while maintaining thorough due diligence. Edge Partners has prioritized investments in fields such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, robotics, and software, which are industries positioned for long-term growth. He oversees acquiring securities in private companies and holding them until liquidity events such as acquisitions or public offerings occur.

His approach to investing emphasizes three pillars: disciplined risk management, appropriate timing, and a long-term vision. Craig believes that successful outcomes require choosing companies with potential and structuring the investments to safeguard participants. His preference for SPVs reflects this philosophy, providing both access to growth and a framework that manages risk.

Beyond pre-IPO markets, Craig has been active in natural gas mineral funds, venture partnerships, hospitality REITs, and specialized financing. His involvement includes WhiteHawk Energy and investments in Outstanding Foods, Braemar Hotels and Resorts, Prospect Capital, and Urica Therapeutics. Each reflects his practice of assessing industries, market conditions, and company fundamentals before committing capital.

Craig has remained committed to philanthropy and community involvement outside his professional roles. He supports organizations such as Pink Aid and Fred’s Team, which fund cancer research and health initiatives. His contributions include both financial support and participation in awareness-building events.

Craig has lived with his wife in Westport, Connecticut, for over 25 years. He is a runner who has completed five marathons, including the New York Marathon. He also enjoys traveling and gaining perspective by engaging with different cultures and economies.

Balancing his career achievements with philanthropy and personal pursuits, Craig Bonn continues to follow a path that reflects dedication, long-term vision, and community engagement.

I'm Hernán. I'm 41. I’m a retired handball player, and totally into technology and cybersecurity.
I studied Computer Science, got a diploma in Cybersecurity Management, and I've been working in different areas of IT and cyber for the past 20 years.
I started out doing tech support for internet services, then worked as a systems auditor at PwC.
For 10 years, I led teams handling tech and operational risk management. My curiosity pushed me to explore other industries too — I took on cybersecurity roles, and then became IT Manager in the civil aviation sector in the public sphere, where I stayed for nearly six years.
Now I’m back to my first love — the financial world — and currently working as a CISO at a financial company.

And as a little "bonus track": I'm passionate about communication, so I went back to something I left hanging in my teens — in 2021, I graduated as a Professional Radio & TV Broadcaster from ETER School of Communication.

R. Lance Belline is the founder and partner of Lighthouse Financial, an esteemed advisory firm located in Rogers, Arkansas. This firm specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning, investment strategies, and tax planning services tailored to meet the needs of both individuals and businesses. Lance, a seasoned professional with decades of experience in the financial services industry, is also the author of the influential book *More Wealth, Less Taxes*, which was released in 2022. The book serves as a valuable resource, offering strategies to help individuals retain more of their earnings while efficiently building wealth for the future.

In 2009, Lance established Lighthouse Financial as a boutique firm with a clear mission: to assist high-income and high-net-worth individuals in achieving their financial aspirations. From the beginning, the firm set itself apart with a distinctive tagline, "Always on Watch," which reflects its commitment to vigilant and proactive financial management. A critical factor that has distinguished the firm under his leadership is its innovative approach to integrating tax-efficient strategies into investment planning, aimed at minimizing the tax burden on clients during their retirement years.

Belline earned the prestigious designation of Certified Financial Planner in 2002, underscoring his deep expertise and commitment to the field. Over the years, he has successfully passed numerous financial industry exams, including the Series 65 Uniform Investment Adviser Law Examination and the Series 7 General Securities Representative Examination, among others. These qualifications have equipped him with a broad and deep understanding of the financial landscape, enabling him to provide exceptional guidance to his clients.

As an author, Lance has a remarkable ability to demystify complex financial concepts, presenting them in a way that is accessible and relatable to a broad audience. In *More Wealth, Less Taxes*, he uses real-life examples and client stories to illustrate strategies for financial growth and tax efficiency. His passion for helping others achieve financial success is evident in his writing, as he imparts practical wisdom to empower individuals to build wealth, give generously, and navigate the financial pitfalls that can hinder their progress.

In *More Wealth, Less Taxes*, Belline introduces readers to the concept of managing wealth through three distinct categories: pre-tax money, after-tax money, and tax-free income, such as Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s. His approach emphasizes the importance of diversifying across these categories to influence future tax obligations, with the ultimate goal of achieving a zero tax rate on specific income streams. The book has been widely praised for its clarity and practicality, with readers expressing gratitude for his ability to make complex topics understandable and actionable.

Beyond the core content, R. Lance Belline's book provides a wealth of resources designed to support readers in their financial planning journey. These resources include tools like the Tax Facts at a Glance, Retirement Investment Flow Charts, and an Asset Organizer, all of which are aimed at helping individuals organize and optimize their financial strategies. Readers have lauded the book for its life-changing content, describing it as a powerful tool for anyone looking to secure their financial future with confidence and clarity.

Belline's book has received rave reviews, with one reader writing, "…this book hands down has helped me so much at such an early age to understand concepts and things that were so foreign to me and make them so relatable that I felt confident in my ability to make smarter decisions with my money." Another reader praised Lance's book for packing "a punch for anyone looking to take care of their financial future. The amount of life-changing content is at the next level."
