First, Our Elevator Pitch in One Floor:
Rivershade Capital is a Real World & Financial World, Hedged-Intangible Assets, Public Benefit Organization. An Innovation & Tech Unicorn. Patented.
*Valuation is Arbitrary. Tech Unicorns with Women & Minorities at the Top are at a Significant Disadvantage.

Wall Street, Hedge Funds and Venture Capital are supposed to be about the best and the brightest. Instead they are an exclusive boys' club. Diversity is the only way to have the best and the brightest.
Why So Many Stops/Starts, Concepts, Patents, Trade Secrets??
The One Alternative in Hedge Funds & Alternatives for Women to Go Big in 2020 was an Organic Growth Business Model. Maybe that all changes in 2021. But nothing changed from 2000-2010 when we tried to work from within. Nor did launches from 2010-2020.
On May 15th, 2019 the Financial Times reported, "Women-led hedge funds try and crack the boys' club." This isn't 1990, or 2000 or even 2010. It is now 2021. It is remarkable this somehow persists. Yet men once again got the lion's share of money.
Lindsay Fortado writes: "While hedge funds have been notoriously uninviting places for women to work , the industry has yet to have it's 'me too' moment. The lack of women is attributed more towards its clubby male atmosphere and what some female fund managers say is an unconscious bias towards women in investing and a lack of women in leadership positions."
While $Billion hedge fund launches for men are common place, they don't exist for women. The money isn't there for women like it is for the men. Which is why all our IP was done ahead of 2020. Hedge Funds are expensive to operate. A lot of money must go upfront for offices, to hire analysts, back-office functions, management, marketing and support staff. Compliance alone must be staffed with highly skilled lawyers who must also consult with outside law firms. Attorneys must be completely up to date on every detail of securities laws and compliance regulations. Furthermore, even the hint of impropriety, justified or completely innocent and aboveboard can result in millions of dollars in legal fees. A problem when you haven't the wherewithal to pay lawyers along with all the other expenses, that no woman in hedge funds has. Millions may seem like a lot of money (because it is) but running a hedge fund with just $millions in assets under management (AUM) doesn't suffice. An undercapitalized hedge fund is like running a baseball team without baseball mitts. It is how the uphill battle starts.
What is different about our strategy is that previously the value of women, the value of diversity and the value of patents, trade secrets and intangible assets -- were all segregated. Sitting ducks to deep ignorance, devaluation & manipulation. What we've done differently is we not only highlight the value of Women, Diversity & Intellectual Property, they are the culture of our operating company. The best and the brightest under one umbrella. We have zero intention of ever joining any club that bars talent. Especially a hedge fund boys' club. Unfortunately, the FT article is reality for women.
The backer of everything here as well majority ownership is a woman, CFA, patent holder, with a 30-year Wall Street hedge fund buy-side analyst career. There is a lot more to her story and career. How she started out of college in the movie business with the film company that made Dirty Dancing, ended up on Wall Street working for Dean Witter in Compliance, and then landed at a five-year old hedge fund in 1991. She has done work on most every IPO since Starbucks, and also done countless forecasts.
The Chief Innovation Officer, lead inventor and also co-investor is her husband -- who has shaken the hands of Jackie Robinson, Betty Friedan and Jim Henson. He's been making bets since age ten. And has twice passed on Wall Street, which includes the opportunity to run a new energy hedge fund many years ago now. He is responsible for the organic growth business model strategy, author of The Next Big Investments on Wall Street (NextBigInvestments.com) and the primary knowledge-base of all the patents, trade secrets and additional intellectual property that's presently owned.

“In my opinion, Steve Job’s greatest design was how he designed Apple itself,” (Steve) Johnson said. “The company was taking plenty of risk on the product side so we kept the investment portfolio pristine. The number one rule was ‘never invest in something you don't understand.’ Each risk had to be measured and explained. In some cases we would study an investment for more than a year before we would pull the trigger. "

"Privately, Mr. Jobs gathered his senior managers. While Apple had long been adept at filing patents, when it came to the new iPhone, “we’re going to patent it all,” he declared, according to a former executive who, like other former employees, requested anonymity because of confidentiality agreements."
“His attitude was that if someone at Apple can dream it up, then we should apply for a patent, because even if we never build it, it’s a defensive tool,” said Nancy R. Heinen, Apple’s general counsel until 2006.

Abstract
A system and method for mass market hedge fund investing is proposed that preferably works in conjunction with the U.S. Treasury's Treasury Direct program for direct investment in U.S. Government securities. A primary investment in a principal-guaranteed, fixed term financial instrument, such as U.S. Government securities, including U.S. Notes, Bonds and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) having principal linked to the Consumer Price Index, wherein the principal is guaranteed to the extent of the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, generates an interest income stream. The interest stream is electronically diverted to a separate account within an aggregated pool invested in a hedge fund over a predetermined time horizon. The fund is preferably run by an experienced chief portfolio strategist and a money-management team.
