24/7 Market News: VENU's JW Roth Hits All the Right Notes with Bold Leadership, Growth, and Investment Moves
Investors love bold CEOs who believe in and support their companies, and Roth exemplifies this, driving innovation in the $30 billion live events market (projected to grow at 7% CAGR through 2030 per Statista) with strategic appointments, personal investments, non-dilutive financing, surging NNN demand, and other shareholder friendly moves, position VENU for explosive growth, targeting 20 venues with 250,000 seats by 2028.
CEO Backs His Vision: Roth Invests $5 Million into Luxe FireSuites
Reaffirming his confidence in the business, Roth has personally invested $5 million in Venu's Luxe FireSuites premium hospitality product, purchasing suites in the upcoming McKinney and El Paso venues. Roth plans to increase his personal investment to $20 million over time.
The FireSuites model has already seen 250% YoY growth, generating $77.7 million in 2024, with $200 million projected for 2025. FireSuites offer investors 11–12% returns along with premium VIP benefits, creating a unique luxury ownership experience in live entertainment.
'Over the years, as an entrepreneur, businessman, and a seasoned family office investor, I've learned to pay close attention to opportunity. Because of this, I have decided to personally purchase $5 million of our Luxe FireSuites through my family office. VENU's Luxe FireSuites create an incredibly lucrative income opportunity for their owners and the demand when we open a new market is always very strong. Over the course of the next year, I intend to increase my investment to $20 million in additional Luxe FireSuites,' said Roth.
Surging Demand for NNN FireSuite Investments Projects $100M in Annual Revenue
Venu's partnership with Sands Investment Group for NNN Luxe FireSuite leases, launched in Q2 2025, projects $100 million annually on top of the company's $200 million in projected traditional FireSuite sales. The product is offered in partnership with Sands Investment Group, providing 11% cap rates and attractive leaseback terms.
Clifton McCrory of Sands, commented, 'When we started this journey in Q1, it took off immediately. In my 15 years in business, I've never seen anything quite like it. NNN's are well-known in retail, industrial, and medical, but bringing VENU into our portfolio made selling this asset class feel completely different. It's added energy, appeal, and frankly, made it sexy.
Smart investors love NNN's, they diversify without adding burden. They're passive, low-risk, predictable, and steady 11% cap rate. But with VENU, they've got lifestyle-driven real estate and a story that resonates. That's a rare combination and our clients recognize that.'
This investor-friendly model adds scalability to Venu's premium offering, appealing to both institutional and individual buyers seeking yield and lifestyle perks.
Strategic Leadership: Venu Launches Growth & Strategy Division, Led by Live Nation Alum Terri Liebler
To accelerate VENU's ambitious national expansion plans, supported by partnerships with AEG and Aramark for operational scale, Roth appointed Terri Liebler, a 22-year veteran of Live Nation, as President of its newly created Growth and Strategy Division.
The new division will focus on site acquisition, sponsorship integration, and high-margin revenue optimization across Venu's national footprint.
Analyst Upgrades Reinforce Bullish Momentum
Analysts have taken notice of Venu's unique model and robust execution:
These upgrades cite Venu's explosive revenue trajectory, from $17.8 million in 2024 to a projected $600 million by 2029, alongside high-margin recurring income and new partnerships with AEG, Aramark, and Eight Beer.
Reg A Offering Closed, Removing Market Overhang
With the recent closing of its Reg A offering, Venu has removed a significant market overhang and streamlined its capital structure. Combined with Roth's personal investment and non-dilutive financing, the company is poised for rapid value creation.

Ethereum ETF Inflows Outperform Bitcoin for the Third Day Straight
Institutional investors are flooding into Ethereum funds at nearly triple the rate of Bitcoin, providing a glimpse at how Wall Street may be positioning this year for the second-largest crypto. Ethereum exchange-traded funds clocked $704 million in inflows on Wednesday compared to Bitcoin ETFs' $86.7 million, the third consecutive day of Ethereum's dominance over the alpha coin, according to Farside Investors data. Invest in Gold American Hartford Gold: #1 Precious Metals Dealer in the Nation Priority Gold: Up to $15k in Free Silver + Zero Account Fees on Qualifying Purchase Thor Metals Group: Best Overall Gold IRA The three-day lead has delivered $2.2 billion to ETH ETFs following Monday's record $1 billion single-day inflow, versus just $330.9 million for Bitcoin products. "Institutions are playing a key role," Peter Chung, head of research at Presto Labs, told Decrypt as Ethereum benefits from regulatory developments, including the GENIUS Act and the 'Project Crypto' speech, where SEC Chair Paul Atkins supported DeFi growth for institutions. The momentum has propelled Ethereum to $4,775, up over 60% in the past month, according to CoinGecko, and within 4% of its November 2021 all-time high near $4,900. The rally has already inflicted some pain on bearish traders, with Ethereum liquidations hitting $127.41 million in 24 hours as short positions faced pressure from rising prices, according to CoinGlass. Tom Lee's Ethereum Treasury BitMine Ups ETH Raise by $20 Billion Monthly Ethereum ETF inflows have reached $2.3 billion, equivalent to 500,000 ETH, while the network has issued only 450,000 ETH since the September 2022 merge upgrade. The supply-demand imbalance has created upward price pressure as institutional buyers absorb available supply faster than the network creates new tokens. On Wednesday, Standard Chartered revised its Ethereum price targets to $7,500 by 2025 and $25,000 by 2028, up from a previous $4,000 forecast, citing institutional buying at "nearly double the pace of Bitcoin accumulation during peak periods." Ethereum Could Soar to $25,000 by 2028: Standard Chartered Traders on Myriad Markets see an 86.9% probability that Ethereum reaches $5,000 by January 1, 2026. (Disclosure: Myriad Markets is a prediction platform developed by Dastan, parent company of Decrypt.) Digital asset treasury companies, meanwhile, continue to hoover up crypto in record fashion. That includes Tom Lee's BitMine, which just this week announced it would increase its fundraising target for buying more of the asset by $20 billion. 'When you combine record ETF inflows with corporate and sovereign balance sheet allocations, the result is deep structural demand meeting finite supply,' Rachael Lucas, crypto analyst, BTC Markets, told Decrypt. 'That's a recipe for sustained upward pressure on prices, and a sign that digital assets are firmly embedded in global capital markets,' she said.

What is the reverse-acquihire?
It's not uncommon for large companies to acquire startups primarily for their talent rather than their product. Acquihires, as they are called, allow big companies to gain talented employees, while bypassing traditional methods of hiring. However, as the AI talent wars have heated up, major companies like Meta, Google, and Microsoft have been engaging in reverse-acquihires at AI startups. That is, they are swooping in to hire star talent and license technology, discarding the rest by the wayside. The tech giants gain talent while sidestepping the need for government approval and antitrust scrutiny that would happen if they bought the company outright. The remaining employees are left to flounder in the husk of their former company. By Bloomberg's count there have been six since last March, and as the AI talent wars continue, we're likely to see more. 6. Google DeepMind and Windsurf In July 2025, Google's DeepMind division hired Windsurf CEO Varun Mohan and cofounder Douglas Chen, along with other key members of their R&D team. The $2.4 billion deal also included Windsurf technology. Google did not take a stake or any controlling interest in the startup. The deal came after Windsurf was nearly sold to OpenAI in what was set to be a $3 billion deal. The Windsurf employees whom Google did not hire went from expecting to be part of OpenAI to being left behind at a company with no leaders. In a surprise twist Windsurf was quickly acquired by AI coding startup, Cognition. Still, the story doesn't have a happy ending. Shortly afterwards, Cognition laid off 30 members of Windsurf's team and offered buyouts to the remaining 200 TechCrunch reported. 5. Meta and Scale AI This June, Meta finalized a deal with data labeling company Scale AI. Meta acquired a group of its top engineers, including founder Alexandr Wang, and took a 49% stake in the company, for a $15 billion price tag. 'As part of this, we will deepen the work we do together producing data for AI models and Alexandr Wang will join Meta to work on our superintelligence efforts,' a Meta spokesperson said. A month later, Scale laid off 14% of its workforce. Interim CEO Jason Droege said the company plans to focus on its government and enterprise businesses going forward. 4. Google and In August 2024, Google also struck a deal with chatbot startup hiring its founders Noam Shazeer and Daniel De Freitas, as part of a $2.7 billion deal. 'We're excited to announce that we've entered into an agreement with Google that will allow us to accelerate our progress,' said in a statement at the time. The statement also explained that the startup would grant a nonexclusive license to the tech giant for its LLM technology. In the wake of the reverse-acquihire, has shifted to a cheaper business model. Instead of training LLMs, it simply develops AI characters. Interim CEO Dominic Perella told Bloomberg: 'We were left much better positioned than some folks,' pointing out that for a reverse-acquihire is doing well. 3. Amazon and Covariant In August 2024, Amazon hired robotics company Covariant's three founders (Peter Chen, Pieter Abbeel, and Rocky Duan) as well as about a quarter of the staff. They also received a nonexclusive license to Covariant's robotic foundation models. According to a whistleblower, Amazon paid $380 million, which is much higher than $119.5 million, which is when deals need to be reported to the FTC. The Washington Post reported that according to the whistleblower's filing, Covariant's current CEO, Ted Stinson, said if Amazon had bought the company outright, the deal would have been killed by antitrust authorities. According to the whistleblower, the deal restricts which licenses Covariant can sell without paying a fee to Amazon, hobbling its ability to grow. The whistleblower's filing said Covariant was only expected to last for a year after the deal went through. 2. Amazon and Adept Similarly, in June 2024, Amazon hired CEO David Luan and most of the AI startup Adept's 100-person team in a deal that also included licensing the startup's technology. At the time, Adept, which had raised $400 million, was developing AI agents to do software tasks, and the deal came before it had launched a product. Post-deal a blog post from Adept seemed to suggest that the company was now low in fund and needed to shift to a cheaper business model. 'Continuing with Adept's initial plan of building both useful general intelligence and an enterprise agent product would've required spending significant attention on fundraising…' the post stated. 'Adept will now focus entirely on solutions that enable agentic AI, which will continue to be powered by a combination of our existing state-of-the-art in-house models, agentic data, web interaction software, and custom infrastructure.' In December 2024, Amazon announced it was launching a new lab led by David Luan that would build AI agents that can 'handle complex workflows.' Only around 20 employees remained at Adept after the Amazon deal. Bloomberg noted only four people currently list Adept as their employer on LinkedIn. 1. Microsoft and Inflection Microsoft kicked off the reverse acquihire trend last March when it agreed to pay chatbot startup Inflection about $653 million in a deal that effectively gutted the startup. The move included hiring founders Mustafa Suleyman and Karén Simonya and most of Inflection's staff. Around $620 million was for nonexclusive licensing rights to Inflection's AI models, and a $33 million payment for Inflection to waive any legal claims related to the hiring of its staff. Inflection had raised $1.3 billion in June 2023. However, Bloomberg noted CEO Suleyman was worried about the company's ability to raise enough funds to stay viable given the size of its competition. The deal triggered a FTC investigation to determine whether it was designed to avoid antitrust review while allowing Microsoft control over Inflection. Inflection is still in operation, but has changed course to focus from building new AI models to working on AI in the enterprise space. Sean White, a former Mozilla executive, became the new CEO. White told Bloomberg that Inflection is still in rebuilding mode: 'The ship, over time, was slowly replaced, board by board, piece by piece, right? But it was still always the same ship,' he said.
