Supporting and investing in emerging managers in venture
About us
Recast Capital is a 100% women-owned venture capital platform that invests in and supports top-tier emerging fund managers, with a focus on diverse partnerships. The platform was founded by seasoned, institutionally-trained fund investors Courtney McCrea and Sara Zulkosky, and built to drive returns and create change in the venture industry. The core of the platform is a fund-of-funds providing LPs diversified exposure to top-performing emerging, diverse managers (US-based, Fund I-III), as well as access to a pipeline of tomorrow’s industry-leading franchises. As strong complements to the fund-of-funds, the platform also includes a tuition-free, virtual educational program called the Enablement Program, providing learning and development for emerging venture managers (109 funds have participated to date) and Recast Accelerate, a new program to support women- and nonbinary-led emerging managers in venture, including educational programming and $100k to be leveraged in support of their fund backend operations. Both the Enablement and Accelerate programs are powerful differentiators for Recast, helping Recast support more of the community than just those that it can invest in.

Community is everything, and Recast Capital has one of the best! So grateful to spend a few days with so many incredibly talented GPs and LPs this week as part of the Recast Capital summit in Sonoma. I'm always inspired by my peers, and enjoyed having some time to step back and soak in knowledge from so many incredible investors. Too many people to acknowledge, but so much appreciation for Courtney Russell McCrea, Sara Zulkosky, Caroline Fernandez, Ava Alemazkoor, Lissa Villani and the Recast team. Appreciate everything you do for emerging managers and the venture community as a whole.

Are you actively investing in emerging managers in venture capital? Or are you interested in exploring this part of the ecosystem? If so, you won't want to miss the inaugural Recast Capital Summit, this June in Sonoma, CA! Since Recast’s founding in 2020, we’ve supported 113 amazing emerging venture fund managers. Our team is planning our first Summit, bringing together the GPs in our community and the LPs (Limited Partners, e.g., high net worth individuals, family offices, wealth advisors, foundations, endowments, etc.) that actively invest - or want to actively invest - in this part of the venture market. The Summit will be held from June 11 - 13th in Sonoma, CA. 💫 We care deeply about inclusivity and accessibility at Recast - so while our Summit is invite-only, we've reserved a portion of our LP slots for those new to our network. 💫 ➡️ If you or an LP you know would be interested in attending, please share your information with us using the form linked below and we'll reach out with more details. We’re looking forward to creating more authentic connections in the space!

⏰ APPLICATION DEADLINE APPROACHING for Recast Capital's Accelerate Program ⏰ Applications are due TOMORROW, Friday, 5/17 at 5pm PT/8pm ET. Program details and the link to apply can be found below 👇 and on our website at: https://lnkd.in/gZxtWWZt We look forward to learning more about you and your fund!

✨More exciting news coming out today from Recast Capital ✨ We’re officially accepting applications for the 2nd cohort of our Accelerate Program 🥳 Last August, we invited 36 talented and inspiring emerging managers to join our very first cohort. Over the past few months, they’ve forged new connections and relationships with their peers, received executive coaching from top development practitioners in the industry, participated in our educational programming, received $100k (!!!) in operating support, and so much more - a full recap on the progress from cohort one to come soon! 😀 📣 Now, we’re looking for a new group of women and nonbinary-led emerging funds to join our second cohort 📣 Who should apply? The application criteria is below: 🌎US-based emerging venture funds (I-II) led by at least one general partner who identifies as a woman or non-binary, and 75% of companies funded are/will bebased in the US. 📈Venture funds should be focused at the early-stage, and have less than $25M in AUM at the time of applying (not including any closed capital for an open fund for which you're raising capital currently, any SPVs or personal capital invested). 💰Participating funds will be required to report on the demographics of the founders in which they invest. The data will be combined with other participants, anonymized and analyzed; findings will be published by Recast. 💪Passionate about changing the face of venture capital and building relationships with like minded individuals Our Accelerate Program is designed to tackle the institutional barriers that persist in venture capital. Unfortunately today, it still takes women 2x+ longer to raise a venture fund, on average. If this is the river that high-potential, women and nonbinary-led emerging funds are swimming in, then our program is meant to help navigate the currents. Interested in applying? You can access the application here (https://lnkd.in/eFXrfPeb) and via the link below. Learn more about the program from our website at https://lnkd.in/eSKctTuR. ❓ Questions ❓ We will hold an information session on Friday, April 26, 2024 at 9am PT/12pm ET. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/e6a6RXEv. You can also send questions to acclerate@recastcapital.com. A very special thanks to my team, responsible for bringing this amazing program to the community: Courtney Russell McCrea, Ava Alemazkoor, Caroline Fernandez & Ethan Finkelstein. 💪 Let's go! #venturecapital #privateequity #emergingmanagers #womeninvestors #diversityequityinclusion

Like many, I'm fortunate to host a number of events that align with my and the Consumer Technology Association's policy priorities and values. And often, you wonder if you've made an impact, whether it's relevant, and whether you're making a difference. Our event, honoring #WomensHistoryMonth and celebrating women in venture capital, unequivocally and affirmingly answered those questions. We are making an impact. The conversation on women in the venture space is always relevant and timely. And we are making a difference through the Consumer Technology Association's $10 million commitment to invest in women and diverse-led venture funds. Importantly, it was evident in the women (and men!) who wanted to learn more about investing themselves (me too!) in women-led startups, the young lady who was excited to attend because she had just accepted an offer for her first internship in venture capital, and how long our panelists and guests lingered to connect with each other. I wanted to share some action items that I took away from our event. ➡ First, second, and third from our distinguished speakers, invest in women. Full stop. ➡ Go see Show Her The Money, a documentary on the opportunities and challenges of being a woman VC, and listen to Marcia Dawood’s podcast, The Angel Next Door. https://apple.co/43wnOkh ➡ Read Melissa Bradley’s essay on the opportunity costs of fear and how underfunding Black founders hits the U.S. economy. And if you ever have the opportunity to have her as your Georgetown professor on venture capital, take it. https://bit.ly/4akwCMq ➡ As Jill N. says, “harness 'the unfair advantage of lived experience' in building a startup. Also, check out Rethink Impact, LP’s impressive list of portfolio companies, all run by phenomenal women. ➡ From Sara Zulkosky, building the ecosystem for emerging managers is critical. Learn more about Recast Capital’s platform to invest in and support emerging managers in venture capital. ➡ Of course, Kinsey Fabrizio, Megan Hauck, and I would love for you to learn more about the women and diverse-led funds the Consumer Technology Association has invested in. https://bit.ly/3J48HWY ➡ Finally, check out the incredible women of the Consumer Technology Association discuss the significance of Women’s History Month and how to get more women involved in tech. https://lnkd.in/eS_Bu4S8 #WomenInTech #VentureCapital #InvestInWomen #DiversityInTech #WomenEmpowerment #WomensHistoryMonth #FemaleFounders #DiverseLeadership #TechInvestment #VCCommunity #EmpowerHer #Innovation #EqualityInTech #SupportDiverseFounders #StartupDiversity #WomenLeaders #TechEcosystem #SupportFemaleFounders
