The $5M–$100M blind spot

Thanks for subscribing.

I’m Taras. I build companies, and I’m a partner in a wealth management business. Capital Founders OS is where I share what I’ve learned from both sides: building wealth and keeping it.

Most writing about money is either basic personal finance or institutional research written for professionals. Founders sitting on $5M–$100M get neither. Capital Founders OS is written for that gap: managing your own wealth, investing, structuring what you’ve built, and the decisions that follow a liquidity event.

What you’ll get: the Capital Signal on Tuesday mornings (UK time), a deeper article most months, and playbooks as they’re published. I run this separately from that business. Nothing here is financial advice or an investment recommendation: it’s how I think about building and managing wealth, and the views are my own.

If you signed up for a guide or a fact-sheet, it’s on the page you signed up on (on another device, sign in with the same email first), and the Resources page lists all the guides and fact-sheets.

Three pieces worth starting with:

Capital Founders OS: How Founders Run $5M–$100M Like a Business. The model behind everything here: four pillars, with you in the middle as the person who decides. It ends with four questions that take about 15 minutes.

Running a Family Office Under $100M. The flagship playbook: what a family office actually does, what it costs, and whether you need one at your level. Most founders don’t, but they need the functions.

Entrepreneur’s Acquisition Playbook. How to buy a business instead of starting one: sourcing, valuation, diligence, and the operator mindset that separates good acquisitions from expensive ones.

One quick favour, and one question.

If this landed in Promotions or another tab, drag it to Primary and reply with anything, even just “got it”. That tells Gmail and Outlook I’m a real contact, so the next ones reach you.

And while you’re there: what’s the one wealth question you’ve never been able to get a straight answer on? I read every reply, and questions that come up often get answered in the Signal, without names.
