Sam SuttonHOST
I got a chance to speak with Owen Rapaport, who's the bank's co-founder and CEO, and you know, he made the point to me that they're proudly bipartisan.
Sam SuttonHOST
It is worth noting that SV Angel, Ron Conway's group, was also among the investors, I should say, that backed the bank when it launched, and he made the point that, you know, we wanna support, uh, American jobs, American industries.
Brendan BordelonHOST
So what is Arborg hoping Secretary Fudge will bring to the table?
Sam SuttonHOST
Yeah.
Calder McHughHOST
So he just started this new job in September w- uh, working for Ron Conway, who many listeners might know.
Calder McHughHOST
Conway is a Democratic mega-donor, of course, the founder of SV Angel, this venture firm, and this firm recently launched Project Blueprint, which is going to be focused on shaping AI policy with Carney as its head.
Calder McHughHOST
Basically, what they're talking about and, and a main aim is to build a bridge between big tech and the Democratic Party, and I think that this is interesting in this moment because, you know, in some ways it's a bit surprising.
Calder McHughHOST
Lots of Democrats are thinking about, "Okay, how do we kind of sharpen our attack lines on big tech?" At the same time, Carney and, with Project Blueprint and Conway are kind of trying to chart this interesting middle path.
Calder McHughHOST
But Conway was a donor to Leading the Future.
Calder McHughHOST
He donated last year, and I asked Carney in my interview about how Conway has been thinking about that donation specifically.
Jay CarneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Ron, you know, if he had to do that over again, he wouldn't make that donation, and I think what, what's important in looking at that now is I think it certainly doesn't, you know, the sort of aura around it, it doesn't reflect where SV Angel is, where Ron Conway is, or where I am.
Jay CarneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know, we're, we're actually focused on, uh, you know, real regulation that's meaningful and effective.
Ziyad BasheerGUEST
That is a fantastic question.
Ziyad BasheerGUEST
And so when we started Aid, we were actually funded by great investors from the B-- from the Bay Area, uh, like Village Global, SV Angel, Kevin Carter, and a bunch of other angels, and also folks from companies like Shopify, um, Cohere from Toronto, and a bunch of other angel investors as well.
Michael BernzweigHOST
And did taking on formalized funding like that versus bootstrapping from the start help you get further faster? What...
Michael BernzweigHOST
You know, did it help you with referrals and introductions, with...
AJ ScaramucciGUEST
So at Radial, we've built a very large now vertically integrated provider network for these kinds of therapies.
AJ ScaramucciGUEST
And, you know, we've raised some capital from General Catalyst, the Emerson Collective, Ron Conway, of course, at SV Angel, and David Tisch at Box Group, and we're now treating a lot of victims of rape and veterans of war.
AJ ScaramucciGUEST
It's, it's been a very fulfilling journey, and it's still just the beginning.
AJ ScaramucciGUEST
There's likely a, a half a dozen other therapies that are coming online in the ensuing years that are gonna be incredibly helpful for, for patients nationwide.

While the startup claims to have hit more than $1 million in annualized revenue within two months of coming out of stealth in July, it Co-founder Juwan Kim admits that Milius didn't hit it out of the park initially.
AbramGUEST
Uh, a mutual friend set us up, and he was working on an early-stage startup.
AbramGUEST
I was, prior to Splits or prior to working with Will, um, I was doing, like, early-stage investing at a place called SV Angel for a long time.
AbramGUEST
So Ron Conway is a very prolific, kind of like brought angel investing to Silicon Valley in many ways.
AbramGUEST
Was one of the pioneers of that.
AbramGUEST
I was...
AbramGUEST
I was like, "Oh, if you ever go and raise financing, like, you know, maybe there's a world that we can work together." That didn't end up happening.
AbramGUEST
Fast-forward a few years, he was winding that down, I had left SV Angel, and we started, you know, working on side projects together.
AbramGUEST
And the idea for Splits came about from seeing Mirror and OpenZeppelin.
