The moment you have been preparing for – and dreading in equal measure – is finally here. Your child is flying to another city or country to join college. The moment of parting is still a few days away, and your days are taken up in a flurry of preparing your child for the move, getting their paperwork and baggage in order.

Amidst the rush of preparing your child for new experiences, you must be hard at work, reminding them to eat their meals on time, not rely too much on junk food, and keep healthy habits; chief among them being to sleep well. After all, in the rush of new friendships, assignments and newfound independence, it’s necessary to take the time to recharge. The best way to guarantee this, of course, is by arranging the right kind of bedding for them, so they can be comfortable while resting.

You’ve been meaning to buy new bedding for your child for their fresh new start. The choices are immense, but you can’t overload their trunk.      You need to ensure they have      just enough to use comfortably without running out of their stocks. There must be extras so that they don’t have to think about laundry day and get stressed about it. You also need to buy bedding that will last all the years of their college without the need to buy more. To achieve these goals, here’s      how you can shop for what they need without wasting too much time:

*What to keep in mind as you shop for bed linen.

The choices in bedding today are vast, and it’s easy to get lost in the various collections. That is why it’s important to make a note of a few things before you begin your shopping expedition. The main point is to make note of the weather conditions of where your child is headed. If it is a tropical location, where the temperatures run on the higher side, you can look at dohars, bedsheets with moisture-wicking technology and more. but if it’s a colder area, it’s better to consider comforters and quilts of a thicker consistency. It’s also a good idea to invest in temperature-regulating bedsheets and quick-drying towels.

Since kids are often impatient about making their beds, it’s also a good idea to consider fitted bedsheets, since they are very convenient to use. Additionally, you should also consult the colour theory and pick the bed linen accordingly. For example, if your child is worried about leaving home for the first time, get cheery colours like yellow or orange that will keep them feeling positive.

* Online shopping is faster and more cost-effective. At a time when the Coronavirus continues to rage around the country, it is also safer than going to an offline store. Besides, there is no time to run to the stores to buy what you need. While it feels good to feel the product before purchase, you can be assured that the products you see in the offline stores will be readily available in the SPACES online portals as well. There is even the added advantage of discovering exciting deals and offers for all your favourite bedding sets with the convenience of doorstep delivery and multiple payment options.

Start with bedsheets in single sizes, with matching pillow covers and comforters. Single comforters are best for a single bed – double comforters will be too large both for their bag and bed. Don’t insist on your child taking their kids’ comforter from home to college, unless they don’t mind doing so. About three or four bedsheets and two single comforters should suffice.

* We suggest looking at comparable brands having similar products on offer before making a choice. This is easily done online – you can open multiple tabs for different online stores and compare the products on various factors: price, size, fabric, pattern, thread count, etc. You should of course pay special attention to the quality of the bedding you’re looking to buy. Afterall, the other factors pale in comparison to getting a product that suits your needs best and lasts for a longer time. This is where the product range from SPACES shines bright. They include bed and bath linen made from organic cotton and through sustainable processes, so you can rest assured that you’re buying the finest for your child. These products also have the added advantage of becoming softer with each wash, making them a great investment for the long run.

It’s also important to check the reviews posted by other buyers, as it will give you a better idea of the actual usage of the bed linen in question. This will tell you which brand is trustworthy and has the best bedding for your needs.      You can also check    probable delivery dates from these websites, since you are already strapped for time.

* Check on delivery and payment options.

Since you have less time to shop and you still need to help your child get their belongings together and pack their trunk, you must ensure that the bed and bath linen you buy are delivered to your address well in time for their departure. Check the estimated delivery time for the product by keying in your area PIN code in the website’s designated field. The site checks the code and tells you if delivery is possible, and the estimated time for delivery. You might also check if it would be faster to pick up the purchase from the brands nearest offline store. We recommend using digital payment modes to pay instead of paying cash at your doorstep in the interest of your safety.

We hope you have a pleasant experience preparing your little one for their future ahead. With the right bedding, they’ll be on their way to a well-rested college experience, so they can fill their days exploring and learning more. Keep the above points in mind as you carry on with your shopping and visit SPACES for the finest selection of bed and bath linen, that’s easy to care for.

These is very superficial – we can mention – tips on what things to keep in mind while browsing online

Derik Fay and the Quiet Rise of a Fintech Dynasty: How a Relentless Visionary is Redefining the Future of Payments

mm

Published

on

Long before the headlines, before the Forbes features, and well before he became a respected fixture in boardrooms across the country, Derik Fay was a kid from Westerly, Rhode Island with little more than grit and audacity. Now, with a strategic footprint spanning more than 40 companies—including holdings in media, construction, real estate, pharma, fitness, and fintech—Fay’s influence is as diversified as it is deliberate. And his most recent move may be his boldest yet: the acquisition and co-ownership of Tycoon Payments, a fintech venture poised to disrupt an industry built on middlemen and outdated rules.

Where many entrepreneurs chase headlines, Fay chases legacy.

Rebuilding the Foundation of Fintech

In the saturated space of payment processors, Fay didn’t just want another transactional brand. He saw a broken system—one that labeled too many businesses as “high-risk,” denied them access, and overcharged them into silence. Tycoon Payments, under his stewardship, is rewriting that narrative from the ground up.

Instead of the all-too-common “fake processor” model, where companies act as brokers rather than actual underwriters, Tycoon Payments is being engineered to own the rails—integrating direct banking partnerships, custom risk modeling, and flexible support for underserved industries.

“Disruption isn’t about being loud,” Fay said in a private strategy session with advisors. “It’s about fixing what’s been ignored for too long. I don’t chase waves—I build the coastline.”

Quiet Power, Strategic Depth

Now 46 years old, Fay has evolved from scrappy gym owner to an empire builder, founding 3F Management as a private equity and venture vehicle to scale fast-growth businesses with staying power. His portfolio includes names like Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships, BIGG Pharma, Results Roofing, FayMs Films, and SalonPlex—but also dozens of companies that never make headlines. That’s by design.

Where others seek followers, Fay builds founders. Where most celebrate their exits, Fay reinvests in people.

While he often deflects conversations around his personal wealth, analysts estimate his net worth to exceed $100 million, with some placing it comfortably over $250 million, based on exits, real estate holdings, and the trajectory of his current ventures.

Yet unlike others in his tax bracket, Fay still answers cold DMs. He mentors rising entrepreneurs without cameras rolling. And he shows up—not just with capital, but with conviction.

A Mogul Grounded in Real Life

Outside of business, Fay remains committed to his role as a father and partner. He shares two daughters, Sophia Elena Fay and Isabella Roslyn Fay, and has been in a relationship with Shandra Phillips since 2021. He’s known for keeping his personal life private, but those close to him speak of a man who brings the same intention to parenting as he does to scaling multimillion-dollar ventures—focused, present, and consistent.

His physical stature—standing at 6′1″—matches his professional gravitas, but what’s more striking is his ability to operate with both discipline and empathy. Fay’s reputation among founders and CEOs is not just one of capital deployment, but emotional intelligence. As one partner noted, “He’s the kind of guy who will break down your pitch—and rebuild your belief in yourself in the same breath.”

The Tycoon Blueprint

The playbook Fay is writing at Tycoon Payments doesn’t just threaten incumbents—it reinvents the infrastructure. This isn’t another “fintech startup” with a flashy brand and no backend. It’s a strategically positioned venture with real underwriting power, cross-border ambitions, and a founder who understands how to scale quietly until the entire industry has to take notice.

In an age where so many entrepreneurs rely on noise and virality to build influence, Fay remains a master of what can only be called elite stealth. He doesn’t need the spotlight. But his impact casts a long shadow.

Conclusion: The Empire Expands

From Rhode Island beginnings to venture boardrooms, from gym owner to fintech force, Derik Fay continues to build not just businesses—but a blueprint. One rooted in resilience, innovation, and long-term infrastructure.

Tycoon Payments may be the latest chess piece. But the game he’s playing is bigger than one move. It’s a long game of strategic leverage, intentional legacy, and generational wealth.

And Fay is not just playing it. He’s redefining the rules.
