Saxon Woods
Company
Saxon Woods is creating an enterprise-scale preferred-equity software system called FormYield™ that reduces the time, cost, and friction of commercial real estate development and investment through digital optimization, improving the economics of high-performance real estate through reduced property operating expenses, capture of green-premium rental revenues & asset appreciation, decreasing the cost of capital through long-term preferred-equity investment, and increasing the market share for high-performance buildings. FormYield™ is designed to create recurring economics through real estate investment income rather than relying primarily on conventional software subscription revenue.

Plustick Partners
Alternative Investment Manager
Plustick Management is an opportunistic, event-driven alternative investment firm. Its mission is to generate strong absolute returns over a long period of time. Plustick focuses on a limited number of ideas and employs a flexible style across equity, credit, and high yield, seeking to capitalize on opportunities across sectors and security types. Common across Plustick investments is a return profile deemed to be open-ended, and with an identified upside possibility of 2x or more. Investments are typically found in companies with overlooked, misunderstood, or underestimated assets; businesses in areas undergoing significant change; situations with 'maximum pessimism' created by operational or financial distress; and entities at financial or operational inflection points.
Dwight Mortgage Trust
Real Estate
Dwight Mortgage Trust is a private mortgage REIT focused on providing senior secured, short-term (12-36 months) floating rate loans on multifamily and senior housing assets with a dedicated Fannie, Freddie, or HUD takeout. Since the strategy's inception in 2018, we have originated over $8.3 billion in loans and have delivered net returns of 12%-16% annually to investors.
Final Quest Capital
Venture Capital
Final Quest Capital is a $240 million fund that applies the proven Prints & Advertising film-financing model to the premium PC and console games market, an $85 billion sector where the retreat of publishers and venture capital has left a growing pool of high-quality, near-finished titles without the go-to-market capital they need. The Fund provides last-mile financing for final development, marketing, and launch across a diversified slate of roughly 25 titles over a six-year life, in exchange for first-position recoupment, a 20% premium on invested capital, and backend profit participation. By investing only in mature projects with validated demand signals, including established IP, proven teams, and strong wishlist and community engagement, the Fund makes data-driven, risk-adjusted decisions and benefits from the front-loaded revenue curves typical of game launches. Modelled outcomes project a median net investor IRR of approximately 14.4%, with breakeven or better in 98% of simulations, led by a team combining 40+ years of film-financing experience with senior AAA games production and publishing backgrounds.

New Mexico Venture Studios
Venture Studio
New Mexico is home to Los Alamos National Lab, Sandia National Lab and a network of research universities that generate world-class science. But without adequate lab infrastructure and commercialization support, the state becomes an R&D incubator for other states’ economies, bearing the cost of innovation development while losing the economic benefits when companies relocate to grow. New Mexico Venture Studios addresses this gap with a comprehensive venture studio model: IP-centered infrastructure design, integrated support services from concept through commercialization, and capital partnerships that don’t require relocation. We embed New Mexico startups into a global startup ecosystem that provides increased visibility, customer base and investment opportunities.

TESTIMONIAL
“I thought the Trade Mission was one of the most unique fundraising assets I’ve ever seen. The ability to have 50+ warm leads provided over the course of 1 day is phenomenal. It would have been impossible for our fund to have done anything like this ourselves and I doubt any financial service organizations could have provided a stronger group. I would highly recommend the Trade Mission, not just because of the quantity of potential investors but the quality of investors.”
