FINGER dfingers

Dumpster Fingers: a dumpster adrift at the ends of the earth; an old-fashioned burger restaurant at night; behind it, a dumpster, drums of yellow grease, spilled chicken tenders, a rat, and a gloved hand reaching in; a gloved fist of chicken tenders before a red sunburst; and a bar chart of the partner's personal capital falling below zero after buying a boat.

PLAN

Dumpster Fingers will go to the ends of the earth, and to the back of a Wendy’s, to make things work. Both have been necessary. The handle is descriptive.

Sits on the board of W2 Research and handles sourcing for the firm’s marine positions. Small autonomous systems are built from parts that can be found, salvaged, or bought at retail, and Dumpster Fingers has found, salvaged, or bought a great many of them. Currently at sea. Position reporting is disabled, in keeping with the thesis.

PRIOR VENTURES

Built and sold a used cooking oil recovery business serving restaurant fryers in three states. Used cooking oil trades as yellow grease, a feedstock for biodiesel, and is stolen often enough that the industry tracks it. Every drum the business collected was collected under contract, which in that industry is a distinction.

Proceeds from the 2019 sale were deployed personally and in full, as charted above. The partner regards the boat as a long-term position.
