  • How Founders Get Funded with Caleb Thornton and John Reardon

    How Founders Get Funded with Caleb Thornton and John Reardon
    Sep 21 2026
    I sat down with two friends, Caleb Thornton, founder of Seed to Table, and John Reardon, Audit Managing Director at KPMG.

    Caleb built Seed to Table after one bad conference he attended. Now he throws his own events around the US to help founders fund their companies. Several startups have walked out with oversubscribed rounds and even a $10M deal.

    We talked about what gets founders funded. And what you should avoid in a pitch.

    Check out all their events here: seed2table.us

  • The Simulation Software Built to Stop Genocide with Rachel Miner

    The Simulation Software Built to Stop Genocide with Rachel Miner
    Aug 24 2026
    Rachel Miner, truly an exceptional person, founded Bellwether International and leads Sigma, the simulation software behind this episode - built to model how genocide and mass atrocities unfold before they happen.

    She's got degrees from the London School of Economics and Columbia, and spent years working on policy in the U.S. Senate before this.

    A 2021 Truman Scholar, she's presented her genocide-prevention work to the UN Commission on the Status of Women and was recently at the Oslo Freedom Forum.

    To me, this is classic PeaceTech with huge possibilities! Enjoy!

    We Closed $1.27M in One PeaceTech Accelerator Cohort. Here's How:
    Aug 10 2026
    I'm humbled to share this with you!

    Because of the hard work of the founders in the PeaceTech Accelerator, we closed $1.27M in value this year (grants, contracts won, and VC raised).

    All of it done with one goal: serve the person in front of us!

    At Demo Day, 225 people showed up. One attendee told me it was the best event they'd ever been to, and that it fed their soul.

    We're opening 8 spots for the next cohort. If you're building dual-use PeaceTech and you're ready to turn a great product into signed revenue, apply below.
