🎙 You Don’t Need to Be Rich to Invest

Liberty Ventures Podcast with Alexander McCobin

🎙 You Don’t Need to Be Rich to Invest
Why are private markets still off-limits to most investors? What if anyone - not just the ultra-wealthy - could invest in startups, venture deals, and high-growth opportunities? And what if the next wave of capital formation didn’t require insider access or million-dollar checks?
In this episode of the Liberty Ventures Podcast, Jesse Randall, founder of Sweater VC and the Cashmere Fund, explains how a powerful (but overlooked) fund structure is helping unlock venture investing for a much wider audience. He walks us through the origin of outdated accreditation laws, how regulation is finally catching up, and why technology is making it possible for first-time investors to participate with as little as $500.
You’ll also hear the behind-the-scenes story of Sweater VC’s growth, how Jesse built a fund designed for long-term value creation, and why capital access is becoming one of the most important frontiers for entrepreneurial innovation.
A must-watch for founders, investors, and anyone who believes opportunity should follow ambition, not status.
