When people say someone got lucky in business or investing, I tend to smile.
Because more often than not, “luck” is just a word people use when they didn’t see all the deliberate advantages that were stacked ahead of time.
The truth is simple: luck favors the prepared — and the well-positioned.
If you’re trying to raise capital, grow your company, or close a transformative deal, waiting for luck is like waiting for lightning to strike while holding a rubber umbrella.
But if you stack smart advantages — informational, relational, structural, and technological — you're not just hoping. You're engineering your outcome.
🔧 The Tools That Shift the Odds
Let’s get practical.
One of the most powerful tools I’ve built is the Lean SPAC List — a simple excel spreadsheet that contains the list of the SPAC sponsors that still not have announced a transaction and that are looking for a target to merge with.
These are the people actually writing checks, signing deals, and closing transactions, and not just making noise.
Whether you're a founder, banker, or advisor, staying aligned with the right SPACs at the right time can open doors to institutional capital that others never even see.
If you know a CEO or a founder looking for the right tool, please send this to him or her.

Tools give you leverage. But you also need a framework.
That’s why I wrote The DREAMS Protocol, which is a practical guide for anyone trying to bring institutional capital into their business. You can find it on Amazon both in paperback or Kindle format.
It walks you through:
✅ How to structure your business to attract real capital
✅ What institutional investors and SPAC sponsors actually look for
✅ How to think and speak in terms that drive valuation and commitment
✅ Why timing, narrative, and governance are not optional
This is not theory. It's the playbook used by real founders who've raised real money.
🧠 Final Thought: Luck Isn't Magic. It's Momentum.
If you’re serious about building financial success — not just chasing funding — remember this:
"Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." – Seneca
So stack the deck:
✅ Use smart tools (like the Lean SPAC List)
✅ Learn proven strategies (in The DREAMS Protocol)
✅ And stay ready for your moment
Because in this game, luck isn’t random. It’s engineered.
Here is a sample of the excel spreadsheet. The free version of the list only carries the names and tickers. Get the full version by subscribing to one of the plans.
