Highlights:

β€’ Daniel Blake explains why donating appreciated stock beats cashβ€”and how you can reset your cost basis while earning tax deductions.

β€’ The IRS as your secondary buyer: fair market value appraisals on 2021-era valuations can generate 30–50Β’ on the dollar in tax savings.

β€’ Charitable UI accepts everything: S-corps, carried interest, crypto, even your hobby farm greenhouse.

β€’ Schwab pays a 75% premium for Forge Global at $660Mβ€”the third major secondary platform acquisition after Goldman/Industry Ventures and Morgan Stanley/EquityZen.

β€’ Polymarket ($9B) and Kalshi ($5B) are positioning to eat DraftKings’ and FanDuel’s $45B+ sports-betting duopoly.

β€’ Dave’s hot take: donate your worst illiquid assets (2020–21 vintage anyone?) before values drop furtherβ€”capture the tax savings now.

β€’ PVC SPV: Co-invest with Practical Venture Capital in Helm.aiβ€”the AI autonomous driving software democratizing Full Self-Driving (FSD) for every automaker not named Tesla or Waymo.
