DIYAC Media Group: Investable Intelligence for the
DIY Adventure Capitalist Revolution SM
We are in the middle of pre-launch activities for our new digital media company DIYAC Media Group. We have offices in NYC/Palo Alto and DC—and associates and strategic partners all over North America.
What does DIYAC stand for? Do-It-Yourself Adventure Capitalists.
What is a “DIY Adventure Capitalist? You…and millions like you.
DMG is rapidly ramping our 20 year digital content creation and marketing team to originate, curate and distribute free and paid investable intelligence media for the new disruptive generation of do-it-yourself (DIY) institutional-like retail investors we call “DIY Adventure Capitalists.”
We coined the term DIY Adventure Capital (DIYAC) investor to reflect the convergence of sophisticated self-directed investors/dis-intermediating online platforms and a new generation of individual investors who are investing like institutional investors…but without the institutions!
We use the term “Adventure” to recognize this new generation of DIY investors focus on risk assets up and down the risk asset spectrum—it’s NOT just stocks and mutual funds for this crew.
Specifically, a DIY Adventure Capitalist is:
An individual accredited and self-directed retail investor directly investing >$40 billion+ per year (with 20% CAGR) into various forms of risk assets and debt instruments normally associated with institutional investors and traditional asset managers and ALL WITHOUT the use of traditional capital allocation intermediaries.
What are DIYAC investments? A hybridized blend of
A) Traditional early stage venture capital
B) Direct participation securities and syndications
C) Structured debt and equity syndication
D) Traditional asset management
E) Public late stage venture capital securities (via Alternative Public Offerings and Business Development Corporations)
F) Direct participation infrastructure securities (MLPs and syndicated power purchase agreements (PPAs).
The major segments of the DIY adventure capital ecosystem and audience include:
1) DIY Self-Directed Portfolio Management & Listed Equities Trading: the traditional market for DIY investing newsletters/trading advisory & transactional financialservices
2) Online Money Management Disruptors: 10X LOWER cost Equity/Bond money management platforms featuring asset management fees at 15-25 basis points per year vs. 1-2% annual fees for ACTIVE stock and bond portfolio management like BlueLeaf.com, Bettererment.com
3) DIY Angel Investing (individual self-directed seed round/early stage venture capital)
Super Angel Investing (individuals with 10+ multiple individual angel investments)
Micro-VC Early Stage Investing (organized angel investing syndicates like Founder Fund/500 Start-Ups/Y Combinatory Fund)
4) Tech Start-Up Accelerator Organizations (e.g. Y Combinator/500 Start-Ups and 200+ accelerators around North America)
5) Donation Crowd Funding (Kickstarter.com and 500+ additional crowd funding organizations and platforms)
6) DIY Humanitarian Investing (i.e., micro-lending syndicates like MicroInvestor.com or Kiva.org funding emerging country infrastructure and humanitarian projects)
7) DIY Peer-to-PeerLending /SMB Lending (aka P2P lending syndicates like Lending Club/Prosper.com and Funding Circle for SMB loans)
8) Secondary Market Investing in Private Company Equities (Second Market, SharePosts, GreenCrest Capital etc.)
9) DIY Public Late Stage Venture Capital (Alternative Public Offerings/Reverse Merger deals and late stage Business Development Corporations like GSV Capital GSVC/Firsthand Technology SVVC/Harris & Harris TINY )
10) DIY PPA (Power Payment Agreement) Infrastructure Securitizations—syndicated/crowd funded long term power payment agreements for off-grid distributed solar/wind/fuel cell power generation installations (12-18% IRR long term payment contracts with very low default risks). SolarMosaic.com is registering “Solar Power Notes” similar to LendingClub.com consumer finance notes. LendingClub is also filing similar PPA syndication notes.
Mid-to-late 2013 (when the 2012 JOBS Act regulations are worked out for equity crowd funding and direct solicitation of accredited investors for Reg D private offerings ) the DIY Adventure Capital ecosystem will massively expand to 40 million+ households eligible to invest in:
11) JOBS Act Equity Crowd Funded IPOs up to $1 million a year (general solicitations made to accredited and qualified investors registered on 500+ SEC approved Crowd Funding platforms in formation)
12) JOBS Act IPOs (IPO/APOs directly marketed via general solicitation to accredited investors)
How BIG is the DIYAC Disruption? We coined the terms “DIY Adventure Capital SM”, “DIY Adventure Capitalist SM” and “The DIY Adventure Capital Economy SM” to reflect the $trillion disruptive revolution underway within both North American and global capital markets: the emergence of this new investment class—DIY Adventure Capital—and new investor class—the DIY Adventure Capitalist.
