    How Founders Become Investable | Tyrus Shivers on Capital Raising, AI & Going Public
    May 30 2026

    In this episode of Arthur’s Round Table, Tyrus Shivers shares his journey from military service and government contracting to entrepreneurship, capital raising, and building Legacy Wealth Capital Group.


    Tyrus explains why many founders struggle to raise capital—not because they lack good ideas, but because they have not yet built investable businesses. The conversation explores what it takes to move from operator to owner, from hustle to infrastructure, and from startup founder to capital-ready entrepreneur.


    We discuss how investors evaluate opportunities, why systems and structure matter, how AI is changing entrepreneurship, and how founders can leverage pathways such as Regulation CF, Regulation A+, Reg D offerings, OTC markets, and public company strategies to accelerate growth.


    Whether you're a founder, investor, family office executive, or entrepreneur looking to scale, this episode provides practical insights into building companies that attract capital and create long-term value.
