It’s been more than a decade since I left Capital One where, for 17 years, I leapt out of bed each morning to go to work at a job I loved. There were many reasons I stayed as long as I did, the culture was truth seeking, we were decisive, we cared deeply about people and ultimately created a purpose-led strategy that ensured we were doing good in the world. For more than a decade it’s felt like I was working for a paycheck. There were some moments, highlights, people with whom I formed meaningful and lasting relationships of course, but by and large I drew the conclusion that what I stumbled into at Capital One had become a permanent part of my past, experiences not to be replicated yet with many years of my career still to unfold. Enter ClearScore. I pinch myself each day at the idea that I am, once again to my unexpected delight, finding purpose, creating impact and having fun at what I do. Justin Basini and the amazing team have built an exceptional culture of which truth-seeking and radical candour are cornerstones - we say what we think, are decisive but willing to change our minds based on the data and fail fast. In other words, No BS. We compete in the market rather than against one another and we are led by a consumer-oriented mission that grounds all we do. We win when our users and partners win. And, I leap out of bed to go to work everyday (albeit fighting through a bit of jet lag!). This is me “signing the wall” yesterday, a 6 months right of passage for former newbies like me.

At MPowered Capital, we know that there are many obstacles that founders face when contemplating the launch of an investment firm – and these are only compounded for female and other underrepresented talent. We’ve made it our mission to come alongside diverse emerging managers with capital, commitment, and connections. This includes: 1. Working capital that can enable a manager to build out its team (both investment and operations) sooner and put in place essential infrastructure to meet institutional investor requirements and be able to take on large institutional commitments. 2. Strategic guidance / operational support that can reduce start-up or scale-up risk and remove business friction costs, thereby improving business certainty and accelerating progress. 3. Pre-fund deal capital and warehouse capital that can support a manager in establishing its independent, attributable track record, which is a key evaluation criterion for many institutional investors.   If you’re a female or other underrepresented investment manager who wants to talk about getting started, contact us or submit your firm here: https://lnkd.in/gwq8TsJQ   #MPowerTheTalent

BiV is such an amazing program and significantly impacted my life. I was interested in venture but didn’t know a ton about what it took to break into the ecosystem. BLCK VC taught me so much about VC and connected me with mentors to help me navigate the industry. If you’re thinking about venture at all I highly recommend applying for cohort 8! #blackinvc #blckvc #blackventures
