Eugene Polevoy, Founder and Managing Partner at Blue C Capital, joins the show to unpack the independent sponsor model—how the firm closes nine-figure deals without raising a committed fund and structures economics around carry instead of management fees.

Learn why the bottleneck inside a portfolio company shifts quarter to quarter, and why knowing when to exit is more art than science. Plus, learn how AI now lets a lean firm analyze working capital, benchmark cost per lead and pressure-test value creation plans in minutes.
