Hello, I'm Ted Sides, and this is Capital Allocators.

This show is an open exploration of the people and process behind capital allocation.

Through conversations with leaders in the money game, we learn how these holders of the keys to the

kingdom allocate their time and their capital. You can join our mailing list and access premium

maintain positions and securities discussed on this podcast. My guest on today's sponsored

insight is Jeff Glass, co-founder and CEO of Home Tap Equity Partners,

a novel platform with a billion dollars of investments alongside a mission to allow homeowners

to access their home equity without having to sell, stress, or borrow.

Jeff started the business eight years ago after a series of successes as an entrepreneur,

followed by seven years investing at Bain Capital Ventures.

Our conversation covers Jeff's early lessons in sales, entrepreneurship, and investing

that led to the founding of HomeTap.

We then discussed HomeTaps investment strategy, including the chicken and egg problem of starting

the business, sourcing homeowners, sourcing capital, and developing the team, culture, and

infrastructure that brings it all together.

Before we get going, we're in the home stretch leading into Capital Allocators University

for investor relations and business development professionals.

It's crunch time.
