Episode 1: The Billion-Dollar Blind Spot: How 6lock Is Reinventing Secure Money Movement for Private Markets With Todd Sorrel and David Beisner

Private equity and venture capital firms move billions of dollars every year — and most of them are doing it in ways that haven't fundamentally changed since the days of the telegraph. Wire fraud, business email compromise, and sophisticated deepfake attacks are exploiting the very trust that private markets run on. And the bad guys are winning.

In this inaugural episode of the 6 × 6lock Podcast, host Mike Langford sits down with 6lock co-founders David Beisner (COO) and Todd Sorrel (CEO) to trace the origin story of a company built to solve one of private markets' most urgent and under-appreciated problems: the complete absence of identity verification in high-value money movement.From a chance introduction over coffee in Austin, Texas, to building a platform that ties payments directly to verified identity, David and Todd walk us through the genesis of 6lock, explain why the timing has never been better (or more urgent), and reveal what they've learned walking into the offices of PE and VC firms to pitch a new way of thinking about secure capital movement.

You'll hear about:

• Why the way most firms move money today is fundamentally broken
• How AI is turbocharging fraud attacks — and why 6lock sees it as a tailwind
• The six security tenets behind the 6lock name
• The surprising inertia they faced selling into private markets
• What the future of verified money movement looks like in an AI-powered world
• If you manage capital, move capital, or protect capital — this episode is for you.
