He shares an overview of Composer and the different trading strategies they give you access to, including ones by the likes of Swensen, Dalio, Buffet, Markowitz, and yes, even me. We touch on how ease of mixing and matching some of these strategies, who the early users have been, and what future expansion into things like crypto and options may look like. </p> <p>As we wind down, we talk about his fundraising journey and what it was like to get investments from firms like First Round, Not Boring, Basecamp and Draft Ventures.</p> <p>-----</p> <p>Follow Meb on <a href= "https://twitter.com/MebFaber"><strong>Twitter</strong></a>, <strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mebanefaber/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">LinkedIn</a></strong> and <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKvWzzrVUA_DSCoKXL6GU2w"><strong>YouTube</strong></a></p> <p>For detailed show notes, click <a href= "https://mebfaber.com/2022/04/25/e409-ben-rollert/"><strong>here</strong></a></p> <p>To learn more about our funds and follow us, subscribe to our <strong><a href= "https://theideafarm.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=6750faf5c6091bc898da154ff&id=7249739cdb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mailing list</a></strong> or visit us at <a href= "http://www.cambriainvestments.com/"><strong>cambriainvestments.com</strong></a></p> <p>-----</p> <p>Past guests include <a href= "https://mebfaber.com/2017/02/08/10017/"><strong>Ed Thorp</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href= "https://mebfaber.com/2021/08/04/e337-richard-thaler/"><strong>Richard Thaler</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href= "https://mebfaber.com/2021/02/08/episode-286
