Recast Capital

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!

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

🎉 Looking forward to the Consumer Technology Association's event celebrating Women's History Month tonight in DC! 🎉 During the event, I'll have the pleasure of joining a powerhouse panel highlighting women-led funds, including Melissa Bradley of 1863™ Ventures and Jill N. of Rethink Impact, LP. Thanks so much to Tiffany M. Moore and Megan Hauck of CTA for coordinating this event and inviting us to the stage to discuss the opportunities and challenges for women investors today. As a special treat, we get to see a screening of the trailer for Show Her The Money, an upcoming documentary that showcases women investors who are helping fund fellow women and underrepresented entrepreneurs. I can’t wait to see it! ⏳ It’s not too late to RSVP by following the link 👉 https://lnkd.in/dzA_iw2k Please be sure to say hi if you’re planning to attend! 👋 #ConsumerTechnologyAssociation #womeninventure #WomensHistoryMonth #venturecapital #emergingmanagers CC: Recast Capital Courtney Russell McCrea Ava Alemazkoor Caroline Fernandez Ethan Finkelstein
