I had an eventful conversation on VC fellowship with interested participants in collaboration with SucSEED Ventures a few days ago, Did you attend it? If not and you need another collaboration - let me know! Find the deck that I used to discuss We briefly discussed the current venture capital ecosystem and the importance of understanding the thesis and portfolio company alignment before joining any VC. Further, the interview process, the roles at SucSEED, my personal experience and how could a person take the skills and take steps in the future, we also touch base on the different fellowships that were once active or ones that could potentially be open.

“Tyranny Of Scale” After ~15 yrs., I reconnected with GeoInvesting, LLC 1st. intern, Dan Kunze, who I met via a flag football league my brother and I owned. It was great learning of his success & desire to pivot to full-time investor. Dan discussed scaling issues at a small & big Co. level. His perspective is extremely relevant for microcap investors, as many of us know how hard it is for small companies to scale… from the right management team, to understanding how to build different levels of distribution & partnership channels to expand awareness of products and services.

⭐ I'm excited to be part of the 2024 PledgeLA Venture Capital Fellowship Cohort. This opportunity has been transformative, and huge thank you to the instructors and organizers who made it possible: Shane Kelly, Lisha Bell, Calvin, Trivia, Marcia, Lilia, Lesly, PledgeLA, Cinematica Labs.     Not long ago, I chose to attend USC Marshall School of Business for my MBA, pivoting from a medical scientist path to use business skills to effect positive and sustainable change for both people and the planet, focusing on health equity through entrepreneurship and venture capital.    Systemic discrimination and environmental destruction continue to harm our communities. Here are some stark statistics that drive my motivation:    ❌ Black infants in the U.S. have more than 2x the mortality rate of white infants. Black women are 3x to 4x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes (CDC).    ❌ LGBTQ+ youth are almost five times as likely to attempt suicide compared to their peers. 40% of transgender adults have attempted suicide (Trevor Project, UCLA).    ❌ White families have a median household wealth of $188,200, while Black and Latinx families have $24,100 and $36,000 respectively (Federal Reserve).    ❌ Since 2018, Black and Latinx women have received only 0.64% of VC funding. Women of color represent just 1% of C-Suite executives in the U.S. (Fast Company)   ❌ ~26% of People with Disabilities in the U.S. live in poverty, compared to ~11.5% without disabilities. (Statista)   ❌ Since 1970, biodiversity has declined by nearly 60% due to human activities, with 18.7 million acres of forests lost annually (WWF, WHO).    PledgeLA has equipped me with the skills to discover disruptive entrepreneurial ideas and empower voices that can change these statistics. I am committed to fostering a better future through innovative solutions.    A few gems from PledgeLA Fellowship Trainings:    💡 Democratizing access to venture capital is improving, but more work is needed.   ✋ Developing a clear, evidence-based point of view is crucial.   🦄 Unique business models can generate favorable returns beyond the unicorn model.   👽 "Have Delusional Vision and Pragmatic Execution."   💰 A VC's strategy is heavily influenced by its fund size.   🌟 Your investment thesis guides investment criteria and decisions.   🤔 Ask questions and challenge assumptions with genuine curiosity.   🚀 The movement for a more equitable world is gaining momentum.   🔎 Knowing customer needs and motivations is key.   🏆 The strength and dynamics of the founding and managing team are vital.  🧘♀️ Great founders acknowledge what they don't know and learn and evolve from their experiences.    With these lessons and more, I am excited join New Media Ventures (NMV) this summer. NMV invests in activists and entrepreneurs tackling the biggest challenges facing our democracy, supporting diverse leaders leveraging digital media to drive social change.    #PledgeLA #VentureCapital
