At this year’s Martha’s Vineyard Founders and Funders Retreat, J.P. Morgan joined us and led “Designing the Endgame: Corporate Exits and Personal Wealth Readiness,” a panel about preparing founders for what comes next, from positioning a company for liquidity events to personal wealth and legacy planning.

Now, that conversation continues. Where is capital moving in 2026? 👀

J.P. Morgan recently released its midyear 2026 Innovation Economy Update, surmising that the ecosystem may be entering a new phase defined by focused momentum and improving quality.

For founders, these conversations are connected. Understanding where capital is moving, how investors are thinking, and how to position your company for long-term value can help you prepare for the next stage of the founder journey.
