Term Sheet — Tuesday, July 19

Treas Sec: If elected, Trump is planning to name Steve Mnuchin as Treasury Secretary. Not only is this Scaramucci’s belief, but apparently it’s also something Trump told prospective donors during a recent fundraiser in The Hamptons. For those who don’t know Mnuchin, he is a former Goldman Sachs banker who later chaired controversial mortgage lender OneWest. More recently, he has been serving as Trump’s national finance chair. For more background on Mnuchin, check out this NY Times piece.

Speaking of fundraising, Scaramucci acknowledges that it has been difficult to get some of his Wall Street brethren on board, but believes the difficulties have been overstated. Overall he expects the campaign will raise a total of between $500 million and $600 million, including contributions from Trump himself (who already has loaned the campaign $50m, and Scaramucci believes another $50m is likely to come). Scaramucci's confidence is buoyed by what he says has been an uptick in big money donations over the past two weeks. That said, he does not believe that fundraising is nearly as important in this election as in recent presidential elections.

More appointment stuff: Scaramucci believes that Trump would name Chris Christie as Attorney General and Rudy Giuliani as head of homeland security.

Scaramucci is a longtime Republican, although he did break with the GOP to support Harvard classmate Barrack Obama in 2008. He says he became disillusioned with Obama over how the Administration treated Chrysler creditors back in March 2009.

Some of you might recall that Scaramucci and I recently got into a lengthy Twitter battle over Trump's immigration plans and, in particular, his (since walked-back) call for a temporary ban on any Muslims from entering the United States. We didn't exactly resolve these differences over dinner, but Scaramucci did talk a lot about his family's long memory of discrimination against Italian immigrants ("Teddy Roosevelt is still despised by my family") and believes Trump is a "good listener" who is gaining a better appreciation of such issues. "He will definitely want people with diverse opinions around him" if elected, Scaramucci says. "He's shown that by spending so much time talking with me."

First 100 days: Scaramucci believes that Trump's initial focus will be on cutting energy industry regulation in order to stimulate the economy, but also laid out some burgeoning plans for healthcare reform (beyond repealing ACA) that include tort reform (an old GOP chestnut), increasing doctor supply and "breaking the American Medical Association and hosital oligopoly."

• Corporate venturing: Bloomberg Beta, the early-stage venture capital arm of Bloomberg LP, today announced that it has closed its second fund with $75 million. That's the same size as Bloomberg Beta's debut fund, with all of the money again coming from the parent company.

Three quick notes on this: (1) Bloomberg Beta continues to avoid fin-tech investments, so as not to create competitive conflicts with Bloomberg LP. It has, however, invested in Slack and some companies within the Slack ecosystem. Not fin-tech, but possibly a challenger to part of the Bloomberg machine's dominant sauce. (2) Any of Bloomberg Beta's four partners can greenlight a deal (i.e., there are no votes). Fund head Roy Bahat says: "At the seed stage, the cost of missing is very high but the cost of betting wrong is very low." Indeed, typical first checks are now between $500,000 and $1 million. (3) Bloomberg Beta regularly sets up meetings between entrepreneurs and Bloomberg LP but, according to Bahat, fewer than 10% of such conversations last year were with startups in which Bloomberg Beta had an equity stake.
