Key to Tesla's current success was Elon Musk's ability to use the NASDAQ to raise billions of new capital for Tesla. However, he first risked $80 million of his own personal fortune to build Tesla to the minimum level needed to successfully raise "public venture capital". Thanks to new US financial regulations that became effective in March 2021, today's visionary founders can seamlessly raise their first $80 million in capital starting from scratch using the public venture capital techniques we teach in our free online course, Capitalism for Activists.
This summer, we pivoted Vegan Launch to build the kind of enterprise I always wanted. We now have a vegan Financial Organizing and Education Community and tech platform that is truly ready for people to use create the world we dream of as vegans. In today's show, I lay out our best peace-based strategies to move $1 trillion of investment capital into the vegan economy by 2025. Enjoy, and be sure to visit veganlaunch.com!
Now that we have a basic understanding of FinTech and digital currency, and new finance laws, it is easier to see that we already have all the tools in hand to address urgent global challenges at scale. The main ingredient needed to that is the rapid training of citizen financial leaders around the world who can effectively use these tools, the Vegan Launch community platform and all the current and rapidly evolving technology platforms associated with modern finance, to bring money to where it is most needed to reshape the economy around the ethics and values that are aligned with creating peace for all beings.

The growing acceptance of crypto currencies is another aspect of the future of distributed finance that holds great potential to build a culture that respects animals, people, and the planet. Naturally, the old guard of the financial system have begun their attempts to control, regulate, and manipulate this new form of currency into a version that complies with old financial concepts that are no match for today's massive and urgent issues. We explore the significance of digital currency, and give a rationale for moving forward to solve these challenges regardless of the future of currency.

We trace the progression of our monetary system in response to our rapidly transforming technology systems. As the cost to conduct financial transactions moves closer and closer to zero, the cost of transacting securities offers is also plummeting. These two trends have lowered the bar tremendously for people who wish to participate in the field of finance, including early-stage ethical and impact investing.

As western societies transitioned from primarily agrarian to industrial cultures, new financial systems were deemed necessary to manage financial power sharing among the ruling class. The US Federal Reserve central bank and other central banks can best be understood as a 100 year old approach to 100 year old problems. Effectively addressing today's urgent issues of animal rights, ecosystem devastation, and deteriorating human health requires an understanding of the both the old system of central banks and the new more distributed financial systems that are evolving at breathtaking speed.

When we understand capitalism as an evolutionary step from feudalism, we can also grasp the greater expansion of financial power sharing that is happening around the globe today. From our FREE online course, Capitalism for Activists.
Money is a tokenization of various aspects of human relationships. One of the main tokenizations is the human drive for power. In this podcast, we consider two main forms of human power, "hard power" which is brute force, and "soft power" which is cultural alignment growing from individual self-determination and self-interest. From our FREE online course, Capitalism for Activists.
We examine private investment rounds and the public "retail" trading history of Beyond Meat to help vegan investors gain new insights into early stage investing, and what is changing now that the public can once again invest freely in startups. From our FREE online course, Capitalism for Activists.
We discuss the practical, detailed application of today's modern startup capital regulations for growing vegan startups and leveraging early stage investment capital. This information is vital to all investors, and can also help managers of larger capital pools maximize their financial and vegan gains relative to the conventional finance methods currently being applied by most all vegan venture capital firms, family offices, and high net worth individuals. From our FREE online course, Capitalism for Activists.
The outdated capitalization methods resulting from the Securities Act of 1933 have thwarted the growth of all startups by forcing them to raise capital in secret via private investment rounds. Now that founders have the option to raise startup capital publicly, vegan companies can get double duty from their capital raising efforts, building brand awareness in a far more compressed timeframe than what is possible via the highly linear, sequential capitalization methods that have been used for nearly ninety years. This means we can now educate the public and solve today's urgent challenges faster than ever before. From our FREE online course, Capitalism for Activists.
Now that it is once again legal to market investment offers in startups to the general public, we can use modern finance laws and platforms to educate the general public about the benefits of veganism while we raise capital for vegan startups. From our FREE online course, Capitalism for Activists.
"Liquidity" is the ability to easily convert an asset into cash. The Securities Act 1933 turned equity in startups from a highly liquid asset into a highly illiquid asset. With new laws, rules, and regulations starting in 2012, liquidity in startup equity is becoming increasingly liquid. It is imperative that vegan investors understand this enormous change in the playing field so that we use today's more progressive finance laws to maximize vegan outcomes.

The hardest part of creating large-scale economic transformation is simply getting started launching and growing the companies today that we can clearly see will exist in the future we are creating. The secret ingredient is "commitment". From our FREE online course, Capitalism for Activists.
When values change and conditions change, the economy changes as well to serve the new reality. Knowing that, we can envision the lifestyles of the future and kinds of enterprises and activities that people will be doing. If we can envision a vegan world, we can also envision the full scale and scope of the vegan economy. From our FREE online course, Capitalism for Activists.
The first step in solving large challenges is to visualize the world in which the challenge is solved. This is because we "create from our state". When we hold the vision that we are aiming for, our intuition will provide the seemingly unknown steps that we must take to arrive at the destination. From our FREE online course, Capitalism for Activists.
Most movements are stuck in old conflict and struggle based paradigms of progress. Using finance as a platform for activism allows for the creation of new peace and agreement based approaches to societal change. From our FREE online course, Capitalism for Activists.
