Short-form video commentary and founder perspectives from active work across Value Alpha and Sonnerie VC.
Why Private Markets Need Better Valuation Infrastructure
After years inside corporate development watching deals get priced on gut and precedent, I built the thesis for Value Alpha. This is the full argument — why the tooling is broken and why it's a defining infrastructure opportunity.
Healthcare Investing Through an Operator Lens
Most VCs evaluate on market size. I evaluate whether operational claims hold up.
What Corp Dev Taught Me About Private Company Pricing
Valuation models in private markets are mostly fiction. Price is the buyer's strategic rationale.

About
Meet Tomasz Felpel
I'm a 3× founder, corporate development veteran, and the youngest EMBA graduate in Columbia Business School history. I grew up navigating institutions that weren't built for immigrants — and that experience taught me how to find the structural gaps others miss.
Today I build infrastructure for private markets through Value Alpha, back healthcare founders through Sonnerie VC, and give back to the next generation of entrepreneurs as a mentor and former Vice President of both the Columbia Venture Capital Club and the Columbia Entrepreneurship Organization.
