REDTAIL NEWS

Welcome to the July 2026 edition of Redtail in Motion!

July was a busy month, as we attended Freedom Fest in Las Vegas as an investor panelist and saw dozens of new startups. Then a week later, we were in Newport Beach at a TCA Ventures/Landmark Ventures event where we saw a dozen more incredible startups. The following week, we were on an investment panel for VC Fast Pitch, where we saw another half dozen startups pitching their innovations. In August we will be issuing reports on all of these meetings with recaps and opinions on these companies.

August will be busy as well, as we will be launching our Investment Lens for commercial use. This is an investor-based analysis of pitch decks covering eight dimensions with weighted scoring. We are using this at TCA Ventures Inland Empire to triage the many decks that come through on a weekly basis. The analysis provides two reports – one for investors and one for founders. One investment firm is using this now as a white label solution to their initial screening, and we are in discussions with a VC to use it as well. We plan on licensing the software to firms to help with their intake analysis.

UPCOMING EVENTS

August will be a little less hectic, as Redtail is currently committed to only one event for the month, another VC Fast Pitch on August 20^th.

Jay will be a guest on the BusinessRiff podcast as well, discussing startup funding challenges with Mary Scott.

In September, Redtail Capital will be attending the Small Business Expo in San Diego, where we will be introducing our Enterprise Value Creation Roadmap (EVCR) software to thousands of small and medium sized business owners. We will be giving a workshop on value creation strategies at the Expo and providing live demos at the event.

We’ll keep you updated on any new events or opportunities!
