Matt Salzberg shared thisCongratulations to Bob Elliott and the team at Unlimited on their Series A. The vision and expertise at this company is truly special and I couldn’t be more proud and grateful to be partnered with you (and a happy customer).Matt Salzberg shared thisI'm excited to announce Unlimited's Series A raise, which allows us to bring more 2&20 style replication products to every investor and expand our macro and investing content for advisors & investors. We started this just over a year ago with a vision that every investor should have access to the type of sophisticated investment strategies that are typically only available to institutions and the very wealthy. And we wanted to do it at ~1/8 the cost, net of fees and taxes. We have been blown away by the positive feedback we've gotten and the interest from advisors and investors in what we are building. While many democratizing alts platforms exist, most are high fee or have negative selection bias. We hope to open the door to a better option. I've also been impressed at the sophistication of the advisors and investors I've met along the way. And how underserved they have been with getting access to institutional quality insights on macro and investing. I am humbled by how much interest folks have taken in our macro, markets and investing content over the last year. We are looking forward to expanding what we can offer every investor and our clients to help them navigate what is likely to be a very challenging time in markets over the next few years. Stay tuned for our new efforts ahead! We could have never gotten here without the incredible work of Bruce McNevin and Kaylock Yam, CAIA who have been steadfast partners who were willing to take the risk to start Unlimited, build our tech, run our product, and get the message out there day-in and day-out. Finally incredible appreciation to our other co-founders Matt Salzberg and Andrew Salamon who were so important in bringing Unlimited from a nascent idea to what it is today. Looking forward to working with Adam Nelson and Luis Valdich who bring their incredible wisdom and experience in the Fintech world to help build for the future. In these difficult times in the venture world, we deeply appreciate the support from the FirstMark and Citi Ventures teams! It seems particularly fitting that we announce on a day when we are here at Inside ETFs (Part of Wealth Management EDGE) with so many folks who are part of the wonderful ETF community that has been so welcoming to us as a newcomer.Ex-Bridgewater exec Bob Elliott’s Unlimited raises venture capital to help launch ETFs replicating hedge-fund, private-equity strategiesEx-Bridgewater exec Bob Elliott’s Unlimited raises venture capital to help launch ETFs replicating hedge-fund, private-equity strategies

Matt Salzberg shared thisMatt Salzberg shared thisReally enjoyed talking with Patrick O'Shaughnessy, CFA about macro and investing on the Invest Like the Best podcast. We cover rates, inflation, all the major asset classes, and lessons from history. We lost track of time with so much to discuss about what's happening today.

Matt Salzberg shared thisMatt Salzberg shared thisL/S Equity HF manager's strategies have substantially outperformed indexes this year and over time. The problem is the fees & taxes. If investors could access these funds in a lower fee / more tax efficient way, they would have been a good addition to pretty much any portfolio. That's what we are working on at Unlimited. https://hubs.la/Q01qCt3x0

Matt Salzberg shared thisI'm excited to announce the launch of our latest venture, Unlimited, a tech-enabled asset manager. I co-founded Unlimited with Bob Elliott to help make alternative investments strategies accessible to everyone with a low-fee, tax-efficient and liquid structure. Today, Unlimited launches its first ETF, listed on the NYSE under ticker "HFND." Unlimited uses machine learning to replicate hedge funds' gross returns across several alternative strategies in a tax efficient and low-cost vehicle. Please follow our ticker and consider adding it to your portfolio. Unlimited's ambitious vision is to be "Vanguard for Alternatives," and will be working to launch additional products in Private Equity, Venture Capital, Private Credit and more over time. Stay tuned! Congratulations to the team on the launch! Bob Elliott, Bruce McNevin, Kaylock Yam, CAIA, Andrew Salamon, Danielle David Parks, Material www.unlimitedfunds.com

Stay tuned, as our genetic dataset continues to make more and more important discoveries like this one. Congratulations Ryan Boyko, Adam Boyko, Adam Medros and Embark VeterinaryMatt Salzberg shared thisBarking news! Embark Veterinary has made the first-ever canine health discovery using commercial testing genetic data. Embark scientists determined that a genetic mutation in the EPS8L2 gene is associated with early-onset adult deafness (EOAD) in Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

Matt Salzberg shared thisCongratulations to the Suma Brands team on announcing its $150m of funding this morning! We (at Material) co-founded Suma with Andrew Savage last year to acquire and scale e-commerce brands from the Amazon marketplace. We could not be more excited about this thesis, the rapid traction of the company, and to be partnered with such a fantastic operator like Andrew. https://lnkd.in/dFnEjc4P

Matt Salzberg shared thisI am incredibly proud to announce Embark's $75m Series B led by Softbank. I co-founded Embark in 2015 with Ryan Boyko and Adam Boyko as a way to help end preventable disease in dogs. At the time, Ryan was in a phd program and looking for an opportunity to turn his and his brother's research into a thriving business. As a dog lover myself, I was immediately excited by the opportunity to work with them and formulate a business plan. In addition to co-founding the company, I was the first and only investor for a while, and have been on the board since inception. Watching Ryan grow this company has been such a joy and inspiration-- congratulations to the entire Embark Veterinary team! https://lnkd.in/gJ2_cJnSoftBank-backed Embark Veterinary valued at $700M after $75M Series B | TechCrunchSoftBank-backed Embark Veterinary valued at $700M after $75M Series B | TechCrunch

Matt Salzberg liked thisMatt Salzberg liked thisFormer global #macro #hedgefund manager launches global macro #ETF and crushes #hedgefunds. 🥳 👇 Bob Elliott of Unlimited Funds, formerly of Bridgewater Associates, launched $HFGM a little less than a year ago and was up a whopping 46% through Febuary, about 3x the return of the Bloomberg Global Macro Hedge Fund index. He's up 17% this year with the S&P Global 500, Nasdaq and #bonds all down. Clearly, there will be differences in #vol and other features, but this is another datapoint that shows that, in the right circumstances, an intelligently-designed #ETF can deliver the #diversification benefits of #hedgefunds. Of course, #allocators should not expect an #ETF to deliver the return profile of a multi-strat hedge fund like Millennium, Citadel or Point72 -- the ETF constraints make it impossible -- but products like this are valuable arrows in the #allocator quiver. 👏

Matt Salzberg liked thisMatt Salzberg liked thisColdcart has spent years building orchestration systems for perishable parcel logistics. 🧊 Not warehouses. 🏭 Not trucks. 🚚 Not Infrastructure. 🔧 That foundation matters because cold chain parcel delivery isn’t just faster ecommerce. It requires: • Controlled workflows • Documented handoffs • Exception traceability • Lane-level decision logic • Process enforcement, not policy PDFs When you’re moving temperature-sensitive products, the risk isn’t abstract. It lives in the gaps between: Order processing → Packout → Label generation → Carrier handoff → Exception resolution If those steps are disconnected, teams end up relying on: • Manual logs • Tribal knowledge • Shift-based memory • After-the-fact reconstruction That may work at low volume. It breaks at scale. Cold chain doesn’t tolerate workflow drift. It requires infrastructure that captures what happened as it happens, and makes retrieval simple when questions arise. That’s the layer we’ve built in perishable logistics. And it’s the layer we believe cold chain parcel delivery increasingly demands.

Matt Salzberg liked thisIt’s been an epic week — emotions still settling in — but R. Alexander Wesselhoeft and I wanted to pause and say thank you. When we founded Orna Therapeutics, in vivo delivery to immune cells was widely dismissed as science fiction. We didn’t just hear the skepticism—we absorbed it and used it as fuel. The thesis we raced to define in Cambridge back in 2017-2019 is no longer a bold bet; it is now a potential therapy that will be tested in patients. Orna is living proof that a relentless team can move the needle of human health. This $2.4B outcome belongs to the entire team of scientists and operators who believed and delivered — the Ornacorns who turned experiments into a record-breaking exit. Whether it was watching Alex’s ungodly nocturnal lab shifts, inventing with ironclad determination, or witnessing the grit of everyone around us, we’re deeply grateful. To the many who contributed along the way (MPM and beyond), thank you. If we missed a name, apologies in advance — the list is long because the journey was real. We’re proud of what we built together and excited for what’s next.
