Helping You Build Wealth with Tech Equity and become the Founder of Your Financial Independence

In the early 2000s,  my focus was on growing my skills, climbing the ladder, and being where I needed to be to get the job done. 

In 2009, I burned out hard. 

My new plan was to work for equity in tech start-ups and become financially independent.

Swing and Miss, the first start-up company I chose to work for, was going nowhere (equity worth zero). 

What happened? Did I screw up everything?

I chose the company because I was passionate about its mission, but I had not examined it further. I had no real plan.

My next step was to call people that I knew had been successful in working for equity in tech and see what was different in their "playbook."

Key lessons learned after first dead-end tech startup:
 -In trading my time and talent for equity, I need to think like an investor
 -Create a rigorous due diligence process
 -Don't fear failure, stay in the game
 -Keep learning

May 2011, Started at Splunk Pre-IPO

April 19th, 2012 Splunk had a break-out IPO

April 20th, 2012 feelings of anxiety and fear creep in about how to manage the newly generated wealth. 

I had to figure out how to get real income (real estate) into my portfolio. I needed something sending me checks.

Key lessons learned after the first IPO:
 -How to invest in private equity real estate
 -Set up my family for generational wealth
 -Own the result (don't put my future in someone else's hands)

New Mission: Be the Founder of a Micro Family Office to become Financially Independent.

Strategy:
 -Live within paychecks
 -Bonuses for extras
 -Invest all of our equity

I climbed the ladder to become a CIO. 

At the peak, I realized I wanted to build my DIY Family Office more than climb the ladder.

I changed roles and reduced my scope. 

On August 26, 2022, I graduated from my W-2 job to live a lifestyle by design.

I founded WealthOps in 2023 to equip technology professionals with the skills to build and run their portfolios.

My Portfolio:
 -3  Start-Ups I worked for IPOed (SPLK, YEXT, GTLB) <-Traded Time
 -Replaced paycheck with $200k+ of portfolio income
 -Built my Micro Family Office
 -Running a company structured around my life

My Results:
 -Highly Diversified Portfolio - Stocks, PE Real Estate, Debt, Businesses, and VC. 
 -$223 Million AUM with investors
 -7 Investments  gone full cycle with an Avg 19.4% IRR to investors
 -1000+ tech employees being educated on Managing Tech Millions
 -20+  and growing Portfolio CEOs

My mission - 1000+ Portfolio CEOs

I built my own family office from scratch.

Here's how.

I didn't need $100M in assets. 
I didn't hire a $500K/year staff. 
I didn't wait for permission from a wealth manager.

I spent a decade studying how Single Family Offices operate.

The ones managing $500M+.

And I stripped them down to their core operating system.

Here's what I found: 

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝟳 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀.

1) Vision
2) Structure
3) Protection
4) Process
5) Data
6) Advisory Partners
7) Governance

That's it. 

Doesn't matter if it's $500M or $5M, the operating system is the same. 

The scale is different. 
The architecture isn't.

I call this scaled down version the 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲.

Most wealthy families have 1-2 of these components partially in place. 

Maybe a financial advisor (Advisory Partners). 

Maybe a basic portfolio (Structure). 

But without all 7 working together, you're running a business with missing departments.

The families who get this right don't outperform because they pick better stocks. 

They outperform because they run better operations.

The infographic below breaks down all 7 components and how they connect. 

Screenshot it. 

In a few days, I'm hosting a live workshop on how to set up components 1 and 2 in your own Micro Family Office.

I Run My Own Micro Family Office and Teach Others to Do the Same | Founder @ WealthOps

The 7 components of a Micro Family Office.

Excited to speak this afternoon at the Best Ever Conference about Micro Family Offices.

Last night I had the pleasure to meet up with John Laine, a member of the Micro Family Office Accelerator.

As the community grows, it's great to have the opportunity to meet more and more members IRL.

150+ members. 18 countries. One problem.

When I launched this program, I thought I was solving an American problem.

I was wrong about the geography.

USA
UAE
Italy
Peru
India
Israel
France
Mexico
Nigeria
Canada
Australia
Germany
Singapore
Philippines
Hong Kong
Saudi Arabia
New Zealand  
United Kingdom 

Someone in each of these countries has crossed the $1M threshold. 

Built real wealth. And then... hit a wall.

Too complex for retail financial services.

Too small for traditional family offices.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺. 

𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺.

The industry wasn't built to serve you at this net worth... anywhere in the world.

So you have to build your own infrastructure.

That's what the Micro Family Office does.

The same 7 components that run a $500M Single Family Office, scaled for $1M-$30M portfolios. 

Same principles. Leaner execution.

150 people across 12 countries are building it right now.

Tonight, I'm teaching the framework that started all of them.

In a few hours, I'm hosting a live workshop on how to architect your own Micro Family Office.

You crossed $2M in investable assets.

Your wealth level changed but your wealth mgmt approach didn't.

At $250K, a retail brokerage and a traditional advisor made sense... the tools fit the job.

At $2M+, concentration is the threat. Income is the goal. But a portfolio still sitting 80% in public markets isn't built for either.

Here's what the top 0.1% actually hold:

28% real estate.
28% private equity.
23% public stocks.

This isn't a knowledge problem about which investments to buy.

It's a foundation problem.

Before you can shift your allocation toward income-generating assets at any meaningful scale, three things MUST exist:

𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀. Private equity deals don't wait. A good operator opens a fund once every few years. The window is short. Without a written document that defines what a yes looks like before the pitch starts, you make decisions under pressure — and expensive mistakes follow.

𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. What percentage goes to each asset class? How much can be illiquid at any given time? Without written allocation targets, you can end up 80% concentrated in a single category without ever making a single bad individual decision.

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. Your assets need legal separation from your personal finances. Without it, a bad outcome in one investment can threaten everything else you own. A properly structured Holding Company creates that wall. But only if the books match the entity. Commingled accounts mean a court can pierce the structure entirely.

The TIGER 21 portfolio allocation you see in the graphic isn't the starting point.

It's what you build toward AFTER the foundation exists.

I call this foundation building, the Architect phase.

In a few days, I'm hosting a live workshop on how to Architect your own Micro Family Office.

Your advisor taught you to build a grain silo, while the wealthy built orchards.

Here's what most wealth-building advice produces:

You work for 30 years. 
You accumulate assets. 
You build a big number on the screen.

Then in retirement, you start drawing it down.

Living expenses come out of the pile. 
Advisor fees come out of the pile. 

Every year, you chip away at what it took decades to build.

And hope it outlasts you.

That's the Drawdown Portfolio. 

It works exactly like a grain silo: fill it up, then drain it.

Now here's what the wealthy actually do.

They don't build silos. 

They plant orchards.

The Evergreen Portfolio generates income through things like REITs, dividends, real estate, private credit, covered calls, and syndications. 

These assets produce yield 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 liquidating principal.

You harvest the fruit. 
You reinvest a portion. 
The tree continues to grow.

Distributions come from yield, not from selling assets. 

The portfolio isn't depleting. It's compounding.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁.

Here's why some advisors never show you this model:

The Evergreen Portfolio has 3 pillars:

- Growth Assets
- Income Assets
- Preservation Assets

But income-generating assets don't generate AUM fees.

Follow the money. 

If they can't earn a fee on the strategy, the strategy doesn't get recommended.

This isn't cynicism. 
It's incentive alignment. 

The Micro Family Office is built on the Evergreen model.

You architect income-generating assets. 

You distribute from what the orchard produces, not from what you spent decades growing.

That's the difference between a portfolio that runs out and a portfolio that gets passed down from generation to generation.

What stands out to you most in this data the Fed released last month?

You can't steer a car by looking in the rearview mirror.

But that's how most high-net-worth people manage their taxes.

Tax filing is backward-looking.

It records what happened.

Tax strategy is forward-looking.

It plans what will happen. 

One is compliance. The other is optimization.

Most CPAs are trained for compliance. 

They're excellent at it. 

But compliance is not strategy.

Strategy requires a different professional. 

Such as a Certified Tax Planner.

The window for tax strategy closes long before your CPA sends you a summary.

This is why two people with identical incomes can pay radically different tax bills. 

One is filing. The other is steering the ship.

The Fed tracks the wealth composition of Americans every few years.

Here's what the most recent data shows across the top three tiers.

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟭𝟬%
Total Net Worth: $1.6M
Investable Net Worth: $842K
Real estate: 59% of portfolio
Business equity: 9% of portfolio

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟱%
Total Net Worth: $3.8M
Investable Net Worth: $2.0M
Real estate: 59% of portfolio
Business equity: 9% of portfolio

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟭%
Total Net Worth: $11.6M
Investable Net Worth: $9.3M
Real estate: 23% of portfolio
Business equity: 41% of portfolio

I found it interesting that the top 10% and top 5% have nearly identical portfolio compositions.

More assets but same composition.

But the top 1% looks different. 
Real estate drops from 59% to 23%. 
Business equity jumps from 9% to 41%. 

And the gap between TNW and INW narrows significantly.

Whether that composition causes the wealth gap, or results from it, the data doesn't say.

But the difference is there.

Tomorrow, I'm hosting a live workshop on how to architect your own Micro Family Office.

If you have between $1M - $30M investible net worth, I'd love to have you there.

In Feb 2021, I aired the very first episode of ‘Spicy Chai’ – my podcast for content creators. 

Today, ‘Spicy Chai’ is ranked in the global 10% of all podcasts! A fantastic achievement at any time, but so much more amazing in just my first year. 

A podcast is an excellent choice if you’ve been looking for:

✔️ A creative outlet to help people with your knowledge

✔️ A way to diversify your income stream

✔️ An idea for a side hustle

Having my own podcast has helped me become a more confident speaker, brought me speaking opportunities, connected me to people with millions of followers and helped me clarify my message.

But that’s not all. I thrive in fast-paced corporate environments too! As a remote leader for one of the top companies, I’ve launched an HR chatbot, driven process improvements in HR operations, and designed and implemented leadership and culture programs. 

Balancing a podcast and a demanding 9-5 has taught me how to execute and stay consistent, even with a packed schedule. 

In addition to podcasting:

🏏 I play cricket for Team Canada

🙊 I’m obsessed with my 5-year-old nephew (he’s my best friend)

🥘 I daydream about Pakistani Biryani a little too often!

A podcast isn’t for everyone but ready for your podcast to meet the world even though you are time-starved? I have a value-loaded, free training video where you can learn how to start a podcast today.
