Matthew breaks down the exact playbook he uses to access top-tier managers, build a fund of funds, and position for what he calls the autonomous digital economy, the convergence of internet, blockchain, and AI that he believes will capture most of the alpha over the next 20 years. He also makes the case for why the next two decades of returns will be captured at the intersection of internet, AI, and blockchain, and why most portfolio managers are dangerously under-allocated to it while overpaying for late-stage names they could have owned years earlier.

    Michael Burry's 2026 Portfolio Doesn't Exist: Steal His 3-Step Method Instead

    Send us Fan Mail What is really inside Michael Burry's 2026 recession portfolio? Nothing you can see.  Burry deregistered Scion in November 2025, so his book is now invisible. In this episode of Making Billions, I explain why the portfolio every video claims to reveal probably does not exist, and show you Burry's actual method instead and how to run it in private markets where you operate. This episode is brought to you by Reef Pass | Serial Acquisition Investors: Reef Pass Investors has spent the last 10 years focused on partnering with founders to launch and build long-term holding companies, and has a proven track record doing exactly that. To reach out to Reef Pass Investors, email holdcofounders@reefpassinvestors.com Instead of copying a portfolio you cannot see, I show you how to steal the method. Burry did not forecast a recession in the big short. He read the loan documents, found the exact reset date millions of borrowers could not survive, then bought a defined downside instrument with asymmetric upside.  Read the contract, find the date, buy the asymmetry, define the downside. That is the whole edge, and he ran the same playbook again in 2025. The translation for private markets: you cannot short a buyout fund, but distress shows up as a date on which someone is contractually forced to transact.  For fund managers, allocators, family offices, and institutional investors, this is the framework for reading the calendar instead of the news and making sure you are still solvent when your date arrives. Watch to learn why being right does not pay, but being right and solvent does.

    How Funds Use AI to Beat Rivals

    Send us Fan Mail LEARN THE CAPITAL RAISING STRATEGIES AND FRAMEWORKS used by alternative asset professionals: https://go.fundraisecapital.co/apply Can AI actually find hedge fund trades a human would miss? In this episode of Making Billions, Ryan Miller sits down with Jan Szilagyi, CEO and co-founder of Reflexivity, the AI investment analysis platform used by firms including Soros Fund Management and MUFG. How do hedge funds use AI to find trade ideas? What is a knowledge graph in finance? How do you stop AI from hallucinating numbers when real capital is on the line? Can a small fund use AI to compete with a multi-manager giant? Jan answers all of it from a two-decade macro career that included trading alongside Stan Druckenmiller at Duquesne and running a 15 billion dollar book. Together, we discuss why the expression of a trade idea matters more than the idea itself and how a knowledge graph maps market ripple effects a spreadsheet cannot show. Learn why AI is a leveler for fund managers and how to run scenario analysis before risking capital.  [THE HOST]: Ryan Miller is a fund manager, capital strategist, and former CFO turned angel investor in technology and energy. He is the founder of Fund Raise Capital and Aequor Capital Partners, and has mentored over 1,000 fund managers across private equity, private credit, venture capital, real estate, and alternative assets globally.

    Matt Ober: How Dan Loeb's Fmr Data Chief Finds an Unfair Edge in Funds

    Send us Fan Mail LEARN THE CAPITAL RAISING STRATEGIES AND FRAMEWORKS used by alternative asset professionals: https://go.fundraisecapital.co/apply This episode is brought to you by Reef Pass | Serial Acquisition Investors: Reef Pass Investors has spent the last 10 years focused on partnering with founders to launch and build long-term holding companies, and has a proven track record doing exactly that. To reach out to Reef Pass Investors, email holdcofounders@reefpassinvestors.com How do I build a data edge with no team or budget? Matt Ober's first move: go all in on Claude and ensure every tool has an MCP connection. Fund admin, LP communications, compliance, capital calls, unified through MCP. Operations automate and you return to what you are paid to do. In this episode of Making Billions, Ryan Miller sits down with Matt Ober, General Partner at Social Leverage. Their riveting conversation covers building fund data infrastructure from nothing using MCP-connected tools! Separating alpha data from beta data before spending a dollar & why most AI fundraising tools are gimmicks.  They discuss how prediction markets are becoming the most important new institutional signal, and the single discipline separating managers who turn data into returns from those who burn through budgets with nothing to show. What is the difference between alpha data and beta data? Alpha is a fleeting trading advantage. Beta is sticky and pays the bills. The data that was once edge is now infrastructure. The new edge is using AI to synthesize more data faster. [THE HOST]: Ryan Miller is a fund manager, capital strategist, and former CFO turned angel investor in technology and energy. He is the founder of Fund Raise Capital and Aequor Capital Partners, and has mentored over 1,000 fund managers across private equity, private credit, venture capital, real estate, and alternative assets globally.

    AI Is a Bubble — How the Smart Money Is Quietly Getting Rich Underneath It

AI infrastructure investing is the question defining private capital in 2026 and most fund managers are answering it wrong. In this episode of Making Billions, Ryan Miller asks the sharper question: where in the AI capital stack do contracted, asset-backed cash flows actually live?  This episode delivers the framework every serious allocator needs. Not hype. A five-rung capital stack separating infrastructure money from bubble money and a scoring tool making it impossible to confuse the two in a live deal. The pattern has played out before. In 1999, dot-com equity was vaporized, trillions gone.  The fiber laid during that bubble still carries traffic 25 years later. The bubble lived in the equity. The durable money lived in the infrastructure.  AI is following the exact same pattern in real time. Allocators who see both things at once come out of this era wealthy. [THE HOST]: Ryan Miller is a fund manager, capital strategist, and former CFO turned angel investor in technology and energy.
