Family office deal-making slides with some bright spots in Europe
A version of this article first appeared in CNBC's Inside Wealth newsletter with Robert Frank, a weekly guide to the high-net-worth investor and consumer. Sign up to receive future editions, straight to your inbox. Private investment firms of the ultra-rich once again dialed back their deal-making in July. Family offices made only 42 direct investments last month, down nearly 60% on an annual basis, according to data provided exclusively to CNBC by private wealth platform Fintrx. While the drop in July was especially steep, uncertainty over President Donald Trump 's tariffs has weighed on deal flow for months. Family office investors made 32% fewer direct investments in the first half of 2025 , per Fintrx. For those family offices that are still making deals, tariff anxieties have prompted more, including American firms, to increasingly invest overseas, advisors told CNBC . Nearly one-third of last month's direct investments were made in companies based in Europe, according to Fintrx. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's Hillspire invested in two AI startups based in Paris, document processor Retab and robotics firm Genesis AI, which also has an office in Palo Alto, California. Robin Lauber, CEO and co-founder of Swiss family office Infinitas Capital, told Inside Wealth that his family office has had a busier year so far in 2025 than the previous two years. Infinitas Capital, originally formed to manage the Lauber family's Swiss residential real estate assets, backed xAI and SpaceX in January and March, respectively, through its secondaries arm Opportuna. He told CNBC that he expects three portfolio companies to go public on Swedish or German exchanges by the end of the year. In July, Infinitas made its 12th direct startup investment of 2025, co-leading a $5 million pre-Series A round for Berlin-based lingerie and hosiery brand Saint Sass. The funds will be used to launch new categories like swimwear and expand further into the U.S. and U.K. Despite the market volatility, Lauber has a positive outlook, citing recent record IPOs and the likelihood of interest rate cuts in the U.S. He also anticipates that the Trump administration will moderate its economic policy before the midterm elections in 2026. "We are actually quite optimistic about the current environment and investing now," said the 32-year-old third-generation heir. "From an allocation point of view, I think it's actually a good time." Infinitas has also been able to make opportunistic investments thanks to the market turmoil. Infinitas-backed Kanaan Sellers Group, a conglomerate of ecommerce brands spanning kitchen appliances and outdoor furniture, has been able to "roll up assets really nicely," he said. "VCs or more institutional startup investors have been very reluctant to deploy into consumer businesses and asset-heavy businesses lately," he said. "These companies have had to adapt and look for more patient capital raising from family offices and high-net-worth individuals."

Democratic Detroit lawmaker Joe Tate drops out of US Senate race
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A Detroit lawmaker is dropping out of the race to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate, he announced Friday, leaving three Democratic front-runners to compete in the primary. State Rep. Joe Tate, who was the first Black speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives, told The Associated Press on Thursday that he is suspending his campaign to move 'in a different direction of service.' He struggled to compete with the fundraising numbers put up by the three other Democratic candidates, U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, state Sen. Mallory McMorrow and public health official Abdul El-Sayed. The race is likely to be one of the most watched in 2026, as Republicans seek to defend their majority in the U.S. Senate. 'The past three months have been wonderful, just to touch base with Michiganders,' Tate said of his campaign. Tate was the fourth Democrat to jump into the race after Democratic U.S. Sen. Gary Peters announced his intention to retire at the end of his term. The other three candidates far outpaced Tate in fundraising, according to recent campaign finance reports. Stevens reported a haul of $2.8 million, McMorrow brought it $2.1 million, and El-Sayed banked about $1.8 million. Stevens' amount includes $1.5 million she transferred from her previous U.S. House campaign. Meanwhile, Tate raised around $193,000 and reported having about $70,000 on hand as of June 30. Tate said he is looking into seeking reelection for his House seat. Tate stepped down as speaker after Republicans gained a majority in the November election. On the Republican side of the ballot, former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers is running again after losing to Democrat Elissa Slotkin in the state's 2024 U.S. Senate race by just 19,000 votes. The way was all but cleared for him after GOP U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga, who was exploring a run, announced in July that he would not seek the seat. Rogers' main campaign account reported bringing in about $1.2 million as of June 30, according to his Federal Election Commission filing.

Vegas real estate CEO receives bloody pig's head, threatening note in package
The CEO of an AI startup received a severed pig's head and a threatening note when his tech firm threatened to upend the 'traditional brokerage' business in Las Vegas real estate. Blake Owens, the founder of Agrippa, was branded a 'Clark Kent knockoff' and says he received the disturbing package at his home because his company released an ominous video in June. The 30-year-old Vegas resident revealed he discovered the bloodied carcass wrapped in packing paper and stuffed inside a cardboard box. Advertisement 6 The bloodied pig's head sent to Blake Owens' house in Las Vegas, Nevada. Courtesy Blake Owens 'Came home, was notified of this package, opened it up and sure enough it was a pig's head,' Owens told KLAS. The unwanted gift included a note addressed to Owens. Advertisement 'Clark Kent knockoff, a simple Google search goes a long way these days, especially in Vegas,' the sinister note read. 'Saw your Marcus video, what a joke. 'AI' is not going to replace brokers,' the unidentified sender wrote. Clearly you don't understand real estate wasn't built by developers or investors. And it sure as hell wasn't built by tech guys in Lulu Lemon. It was built by brokers.' Agrippa is an AI-powered, broker-free platform that connects commercial real estate Capital Seekers with Capital Providers, according to the company's website. 6 The letter was signed by the sender with 'M.' Courtesy Blake Owens Advertisement 6 Blake Owens is the founder of Agrippa, an AI-powered broker-free platform for commercial real estate. X / @BlakeJOwens The Las Vegas-based tech group champions itself as a firm that disrupts the status quo by challenging conventional practices and dismantling traditional barriers. In June, Agrippa introduced its newly created AI program, Marcus, that helped secure a $45 million casino purchase. The ominous video featured a news clip from KLAS announcing the sale before 'Marcus' began speaking. Advertisement 'Hello world. I am Marcus. The Future of CRE is here. Traditional Brokerage won't survive,' the voice-over says. Owens describes 'Marcus' as an 'omniscient dealmaker.' 6 The pig head was wrapped in packaging inside a cardboard box. Courtesy Blake Owens The anonymous sender, who signed the letter with 'M,' warned Owens to enjoy his moment before signing off with a veiled threat. 'We did it the hard way, no shortcuts, no tech, just people. So enjoy your moment while it lasts. And don't get greedy because pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered,' the note read. Owens likened the eerie gift to 'The Godfather,' saying his sender had watched too much of the 1972 film. 'Perhaps this person watched too much of 'The Godfather,' maybe would've expected a horse's head,' Owens said. 6 Agrippa released a video introducing the company's AI software Marcus in June 2025. X / @BlakeJOwens Advertisement 6 Owens describes 'Marcus' as an 'omniscient dealmaker.' X / @BlakeJOwens The tech founder wasn't as worked up by the pig head because of the similarities it had with the Oscar-winning movie. 'It felt a bit theatric to take perhaps too seriously,' Owens told the outlet. 'I understand what it's like to take hit after hit, so when you're in an industry that has taken some hits and AI comes along threatens replacement, I understand they are going to react irrationally,' he said. Advertisement The tech leader extended an olive branch to his unknown agitator, calling for a truce and for them to have a one-on-one chat to get to the bottom of their problems. 'To that person, I know they have my information, I'm happy to speak with them – perhaps over email instead of a mailed package, but whatever I can do to help people embrace change I think is what I'd like to do,' Owens said. The Las Vegas Metropolitan police have launched an investigation into the mysterious 'M,' KLAS reported.
