<![CDATA[CapTable with Toby Kopecny]]>Conversations about capital flows. Who's allocating it, who's raising it, and the lessons learned doing it. Each episode, we sit down with the people moving capital and building companies: private equity managers, family office allocators, venture founders, and operators scaling large businesses. We explore how deals actually get done, how capital gets deployed, and what it takes to build and back great companies. If you're a founder, CEO, professional investor, or senior operator, this show is for you.

However TerraCap is just the most recent chapter. Over nearly three decades, Steve has founded and sold a remarkable string of companies: TechWare, launched during the dot-com boom; ORUS Information Services; Collegiate Images; and Landmark Bank, later acquired by Nasdaq-listed Centennial Bank.

He started TerraCap in the depths of the 2008 financial crisis, and in 2019 founded Live Fest, now the biggest music festival in Southwest Florida.

We dive deep on his full journey — from putting himself through college with three jobs to becoming a self-made millionaire by 31. Steve shares why integrity became the foundation of every company he built, how he reverse-engineered his career toward his long-term goals, and how getting fired became the turning point of his career. We also get into how he raises institutional capital, builds great teams, navigates cyclical markets, and protects his reputation, relationships, and wealth as success grows.

I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Mr. Hagenbuckle, and I hope you do as well.
