Chief Investment Officer

Sentinel Capital Management

Thrive on Chaos.When others hesitate, our team and co-investors with Sentinel march forward - lockstep - as one unit. Sentinel sets target risk-adjusted returns and invests in private and public assets, globally, to achieve them. We learn from our mistakes and measure risk with Ben Funk's Apt Quantum of Capital ("AQOC") risk metric and bespoke operating system. The code has been regularly updated since his PhD thesis and the original collection of his IHFRC dataset. There is currently internal consideration such that AQOC may become an open source for academia or industry more broadly (TBC). Please stay tuned...Sentinel is presently interested in collaboration with and accepting capital from other Family Offices and High Net Worth Individuals - subject to law and contract. Please let our CIO, his team, or one of our assistants know if you are interested in the exploration of investing alongside our team.At present all of Sentinel Capital Management's investment vehicles (if existent) are hard closed to outside investors, but we explore new ideas and are doing due diligence on potential investments every day of the year (save for rare holidays and weekends). More information may be coming soon with some limited amount in the public domain.Please reach out to the Chief Investment Officer's team and or assistant with sincere interest. No sales or marketing requests are accepted presently but will be in the future.More details will be revealed upon only in person or secured VCR's. IMPORTANT NOTE: AT PRESENT WE AT SENTINEL ARE ALL BUT BLOW AWAY BY ALL OF THE INBOUND INTEREST - THANK YOU - AND, OF COURSE, PLEASE KEEP IT COMING - WE WILL ULTIMATELY GET BACK TO EVERYONE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND WITH THE ONBOARDING OF MY NEW INVESTMENT TEAM, INVESTOR RELATIONS, AND NECESSARY DEPARTMENTS. WE SHALL ALWAYS STAY LEAN AS GREAT TEAMS DO IN MY OPINION AND 25 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.Thank you,Benjamin Funk, PhDChief Investment OfficerSentinel Capital Management

Visiting Scientist

Current

Indianapolis, Indiana, Us

In my guest (and non profit) role as a Visiting Scientist at Indiana Biosciences Research Institute, I have the privilege of working alongside Dr. Alan Palkowitz to advance scientific knowledge and improve the lives of others. I am a data scientist with a PhD in Technology Management and am uniquely qualified to expand awareness, promotion of important ideas and capital raising from the lens of a technologist and lead investor.I collaborate with the Foundation as much as my time, ability, and wallet allows. I am passionate about life sciences with rage to help others with brain diseases and anxiety. Therefore, I am blessed to serve IBRI's spectacular team, who crucially develop novel solutions in biosciences research, contributing to impactful projects that push the boundaries of innovation.I am aptly positioned to assist IBRI as I was originally a native Indiana Hoosier of some note in the seed corn industry but with a truly global network having lived in London, UK, most all of my adult life. From London I founded a Hedge Fund that was later sold to a Fortune 500 company,I can currently assist them as not-for profit as I am simutlaneusly the newly appointed Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of Sentinel Capital Management with which I can earn income and wealth to support my family and hopefully even more for IBRI itself.If you have interest as a Family Office, HNW investor, and/or financial institution please reach out to me or my team at Sentinel for an introduction - as we do deep due diligence on both public and private - generally. Tech companies - we have unique and special talent relative to others, particularly VC's as we are generally the largest investor in all of our portfolio holdings and are very transparent with and apt incentive structure - we do generally charge performance fees but only sporadically management charges contingent on the amount of time me and my team must spend on research.
