Hey everyone,

I'm an independent sponsor based in the NYC area with 3 active PortCos in the lower middle market.

I'm hoping to find other independent sponsors here to exchange ideas with.

I'm currently managing the companies and serving as CEO for our largest business and it has been quite the learning opportunity to say the least.

I am also hoping to get some advice from experienced CEOs.

Thanks very much!

Should I specialize in Blockchain or AI? I’m a freshman in a CS degree and I can’t decide.
