Capital, Calling & Long-Term Impact
We're discussing this and more today on Tales From The Pantheon.
In this episode, we sit down with Darrel Frater ✝️, Founder & Managing Partner of TGN Ventures (The Good News), an early-stage investment firm backing funds and companies that expand economic mobility while delivering strong, risk-adjusted returns.
Darrel operates at a unique intersection of venture capital, faith, and long-term impact. From his work investing in early-stage companies and funds to co-founding The Center for Faith & Business, he is building systems that empower founders to scale not just financially, but with purpose, discipline, and conviction.
We’ll explore:
🔷 How venture capital can drive both returns and economic mobility
🔷 Creating powerful impact through community
🔷 The role of faith and stewardship in leadership and investing
🔷 What founders should understand about long-term value creation
🔷 How small, consistent actions compound into outsized impact
🔷 Building institutions like Plaza 210 that shape ecosystems for the future
This conversation is for founders, investors, community builders, and leaders who are thinking beyond short-term wins and focused on building things that last.
