Punchup Live (Fund IV), founded by former Meta employees Danny Frenkel and Alex Dajani, is a creator-focused platform helping comedians and venues grow audiences and ticket sales by combining content discovery with seamless ticketing. The company has become a leading comedy hub with exclusive content and plans to expand into other entertainment verticals while integrating AI-driven insights for artists and venues.
eToro has partnered with Fiscal.ai (formerly FinChat) (Fund IV) to provide its Platinum, Platinum+, and Diamond Club members complimentary access to Fiscal.ai Pro, a professional-level research terminal. The collaboration aligns with both companies’ missions to empower investors by offering advanced financial data and tools, enhancing eToro’s value proposition to its 40 million users worldwide.
Alpaca (Fund III) co-founder Yoshi shared lessons from building the fintech, starting with a simple stock-trading API that grew into full brokerage infrastructure. He emphasized adapting fundraising strategies across stages, treating board members as part of the team, going fully remote to avoid hybrid pitfalls, leveraging investors beyond capital, and adopting a “choose the harder path” mindset to drive stronger outcomes.
