We’re starting Rihs Ventures Pulse today to share what’s happening across our portfolio, community, and the NYC operator scene.
1. Portfolio Spotlight: Daneel Dynamics x Wharton PE/VC
Daneel Dynamics is building the deal-making engine for roll-ups. They provide fast, accurate quality of earnings audits for buyers and operators.
We’re supporting Daneel on BD and ecosystem-building. They took the main stage at the Wharton PE/VC Conference with a product demo. Nice to see that partnership come together, and catch up with Konstantin and the team.
2. Event Recap: Wharton FinTech x Rihs Ventures NYC Reception
April has been a Wharton-heavy month for us. We hosted an NYC fintech reception with our friends at Wharton FinTech, connecting senior operators from mature fintechs (PayPal, Mastercard) with early-stage founders, operators and investors from Rarible, Kalshi, a16z, Tidemark Capital, and more. Find our video recap on IG.
3. Our Next Event: NYC Founders & Operators Mixer Tue May 5
Our NYC Founders & Operators series is returning to the Harvard Club.
Join us Tuesday May 5, for drinks and high signal conversation.

So long,
PS: We’re hiring a Founder’s Associate (remote).
Our favorite market of the week: Who will acquire TikTok?
Given their infancy, prediction markets can display quirky mispricings. For instance, you can currently make a 10+% return by betting on Walmart not acquiring TikTok by June 30 2026. We like those odds.
Where to Meet Us: Prediction Markets Evening Th Apr 30 @Solana
If we’ve talked before, you probably know that we are fascinated by prediction markets. Early, problematic, and immature as they may be, they open up exciting new horizons for hedging against geopolitical events, and complex trading strategies across different asset classes. That’s why we’re looking forward to Thursday’s Prediction Markets Evening at Solana (hosted by Gondor and Kreo).
