Tony Mandarano
I'm a serial entrepreneur with a love for big ideas that will positively impact lives and have strong market demand.
Prior to TGM Ventures, I bootstrapped an eight-figure e-commerce business. My goal was to utilize the cash flow from that business to get into "orbit".
Now I spend my time working on big ideas and investing in the big ideas of other entrepreneurs.
Love what you build. Build what you love.
We will only build products that we are truly passionate about and present a large market opportunity. Otherwise, we say no.
Our Approach
We look for investment opportunities in which the economic model combines strong network effects, high gross margins / unit economics, capital-lite scaling with emerging technologies such as neural networks, AI, machine learning, VR, distributed computing and distributed ledger technologies.
We aim to build and invest those companies and economic models which are focused on several of the following: (1) creating platforms which others can build on (2) data collection (3) continous product improvement as data grows (4) AI/ML/neural networks (5) network effect value proposition to end user.
These together create a flywheel of exponential value creation we’ve never seen before resulting in monopolistic winner-take-all outcomes. It is our view that this is an unstoppable force you cannot afford to be under-invested in.
Examples: Businesses (ie, Amazon) and platforms (ie, Bitcoin/Ethereum) which offer clear incentives to participating in the network (lower prices, faster shipping, mining revenues, etc); and which offer exponentially increasing value to existing participants with the addition of each new participant (network effect); and, while scaling exponentially into a monopoly it is maintaining or improving customer / user satisfaction (Google/Amazon/Tesla... and not ATT/Comcast).
Real Estate
While the New Economy is rapidly growing, we continue to maintain quality investments in the Old Economy.
In addition to utilizing real estate as a source of permanent capital, we invest in quality real estate as a means of shorting fiat currency via mortgage debt at, what we believe are, significantly negative real interest rates.
We believe we have been in a period of negative real rates for many years and will continue to be until a monetary reset occurs. It is our bet that based on the levered-long state of the global economy (governments, pensions, corporates and households are all net levered-long) an asset-deflationary period is not likely as it would result in the complete devastation and reorganization of global wealth.
Much more likely is a continued and accelerated inflationary reset until an eventual global cooperation event occurs to introduce a new financial system. We aren't holding our breath, but we are diversifying.
Real estate provides perpetual cashflow to sustain operations and allows us to make long term bets due to this permanent capital structure.
