Brian Singerman's new fund has a twist, and Peter Thiel as a big backer
Former Founders Fund GP Brian Singerman and co-founder and managing partner of Quiet Capital, Lee Linden, are seeking over $500 million for a new fund called GPx, three people familiar with their strategy told TechCrunch. A significant portion of GPx's fund, potentially as much as 50%, will come from Founders Fund co-founder Peter Thiel, these people said. GPx uses a two-pronged strategy. The firm will invest approximately 20% of the capital into funds managed by emerging VCs who are targeting pre-seed and seed-stage startups; the remaining capital will go toward partnering with emerging managers on leading later-stage investments (most likely at Series B) of their breakout companies. It's a fairly different approach compared with how most venture firms operate. While typical VC firms invest all of their capital directly into startups, GPx is adopting elements of what's known as a fund-of-funds model, a less common investment strategy where a firm invests some portion of its capital into a portfolio of other funds, rather than directly in underlying assets, such as startups. While a fund-of-funds offers limited partners a convenient way to access under-the-radar or hard-to-access firms, a significant drawback is the dual layer of fees: those charged by the fund-of-funds and those by the underlying managers. While capital raised by fund-of-funds firms hit a 16-year low last year, according to PitchBook, Singerman and Linden are betting that their personal brands, unique networks, and a strategy that's only partially a fund-of-funds will encourage limited partners to open their checkbooks for GPx. Singerman and Linden may be on to something. As venture capital concentrates in the largest funds, some of those firms' best investors are no longer interested in being a part of a big machine. They are leaving the behemoth firms to launch their own investing outfits where they can be more nimble and specialized. GPx is betting that the next generation of VC investors will identify and back many strong early-stage companies, allowing Singerman and Linden's firm to co-lead later-stage investments in the emerging managers' most successful portfolio companies. Here's where GPx's strategy becomes particularly valuable: Early-stage VCs often try to exercise pro-rata rights in later funding rounds (Series A, B, and beyond), but their fund sizes typically prevent them from maintaining their percentage ownership in top-performing companies. When faced with such opportunities, small VCs often scramble to raise special purpose vehicles (SPVs) from their existing limited partners. Yet, these processes are time-consuming, allowing other investors to snap up coveted equity spots in the most sought-after deals. With GPx's capital behind them, emerging funds will have an opportunity to not only exercise their pro-rata rights but also lead a later-stage round. The Information previously reported that Singerman and Linden are launching GPx, but didn't provide details about the fund's target size and other strategy details. Singerman and Linden didn't respond to a request for comment.

NATO chief praises Trump's weapons sales to allies as 'significant' move that could force Putin to negotiate
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said the White House's decision to sell weapons to NATO countries for distribution to Ukraine was a "significant" moment for Europe amid stalled peace negotiations to end Russia's war. Rutte met with President Donald Trump Monday in Washington, D.C., where the commander-in-chief announced the sale of billions of dollars worth of weapons, including Patriot air defense missile systems, and threatened 100% secondary tariffs on countries that trade with Russia if a deal isn't made within 50 days. "This is significant," Rutte said on "Special Report." "So today, if you are in Beijing, or in Delhi, or you're in Brazil and you know that this is coming to you, you might want to call Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and say, 'Hey, friend, we are still buying stuff from you, but you have got to get serious when it comes to these negotiations on the ceasefire or a peace deal, or otherwise we get hit by the secondary sanctions.'" Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said China, India and Brazil buy oil and petroleum products from Russia, helping prop up its war machine. Trump has held off on imposing additional sanctions on Moscow, preferring to wait and see if his diplomatic efforts will bear fruit. He has grown frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has refused to agree to a 30-day unconditional ceasefire proposed by the United States and its European allies earlier this year. "If we don't have an agreement in 50 days, that's what we're doing, secondary tariffs, and they're biting. And I hope we don't get to the point where we do, but I've been hearing so much talk. It's all talk. It's all talk, and then missiles go into Kyiv and kill 60 people. It's got to stop," Trump said Monday from the Oval Office. Putin has escalated attacks on Ukraine in recent months, targeting Kyiv with large-scale missile and drone attacks. The Russian strongman has stuck to his maximalist demands during two rounds of peace talks in Istanbul that have failed to produce much other than prisoner of war exchanges. Rutte told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier that the weapons sales send a clear message to Putin about the unity between the United States and Europe and how the two will "do whatever it takes for Ukraine." "If I was in the Kremlin today, I would not be too happy because this is a clear signal that President Trump is serious. He wants peace. He hates the fact that so many people lose their lives in Ukraine," said the former prime minister of the Netherlands. Trump has set multiple two-week deadlines for Russia to advance peace talks with Ukraine, but they've repeatedly expired without significant progress or consequences. Ukraine's former Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called on Trump last month to reshuffle three things to revitalize the negotiating process: sticks, carrots and the pressure of time. Kuleba said Trump created the pressure of time by stating he could end the war in 24 hours and calling on both sides to sit down and negotiate. "What happened next is that all sticks went to Ukraine and all carrots went to Russia. It has never worked like this centuries ago in the history of diplomacy. It doesn't work like this, and it's not going to work like this, OK, because the right way to do it is to create a pressure of time to avoid endless deliberations and to find the right balance of sticks and carrots for each side," he said.

Deal made in principle to sell MLB Rays for $1.7 bn: report
A deal in principle has been struck to sell MLB's Tampa Bay Rays, whose domed home stadium Tropicana Field is seen in tatters after Hurricane Milton struck (JOE RAEDLE) An agreement in principle has been reached for Major League Baseball's Tampa Bay Rays to be acquired by developer Patrick Zalupski for about $1.7 billion, The Athletic reported Monday. The deal is expected to be completed as soon as September, possibly before the end of the current MLB season, and keep the club in the Tampa region, the sports news website owned by The New York Times said, quoting an unnamed source. Advertisement At 50-47, the Rays are fourth in the American League East division and seventh overall in the AL, in the fight for a wildcard playoff berth. The Rays have twice reached the World Series, losing to Philadelphia in 2008 and to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020. Forbes magazine ranked the Rays as the second-least valued MLB club at $1.25 billion in March, with only the Miami Marlins below them among the 30 MLB teams, at $1.05 billion. The Rays, whose owner Stu Sternberg purchased the team for $200 million in 2004, said last month they were in exclusive talks with Jacksonville real estate executive Zalupski about a sale. Advertisement The team pulled out of a deal with officials in St. Petersburg to build a new stadium, leaving in doubt the club's future home after the expiration of their lease at the domed Tropicana Field. Damage from Hurricane Milton tore apart the roof of the stadium last October and has forced the team to play home games for the 2025 season at Steinbrenner Field in nearby Tampa, the pre-season training home of the New York Yankees. Repairs are being made to Tropicana Field, with hopes the Rays will play there for the 2026 season. js/dw
