A word from this week’s sponsor:

Private Markets Aren’t Just for the 1% Anymore.

Institutions invest billions into private markets because they may provide superior market positions and steady cash flow, even in a shaky market–now you can too.

For the first time ever, elite private assets are available to all investors for as little as $500 with Hamilton Lane Private Infrastructure Fund.

If you’ve seen our roadmap, you already know - big things are coming. The best time to explore Junction was during alpha, the second-best time is right now. You’re still early, and if you think this looks exciting… just wait. It only gets better from here.
