106 - Orange Juice: Reinventing Private Equity With AI and Bitcoin

<p>In this episode, Ruben Zweiban and Nico Lechuga of Orange Juice share a different model of private equity: fully acquiring cash-flow businesses, optimizing them with AI, and holding Bitcoin on the balance sheet.</p>

<p>They explain why complete ownership beats traditional PE structures, how AI drives operational leverage, the realities of fundraising for this approach, and why pairing real cash flow with a Bitcoin treasury creates a more resilient, uncorrelated strategy.</p>

<p>A practical conversation for founders, operators, and Bitcoin-native investors focused on sound capital allocation.</p>
