The Bootstrapped VC

What it does

Welcome to the wild world of The Bootstrapped VC! The official podcast of Backstage Capital, a venture capital fund that invests in exceptional women, people of color, and LGBT tech founders. Created & hosted by @arlanwashere, and produced & co-hosted by @bryanlanders, the show covers a broader range of topics than you'd expect from a VC podcast.

This podcast takes you behind the scenes at Backstage Capital. What's it like to build a VC fund from scratch? What do investors really look for?

Backstage Capital is a venture capital fund that invests in exceptional women, people of color, and LGBT tech founders. Started from scratch in the Fall of 2015, we have now invested nearly $5M across 100 companies in the U.S. I'm your host, Founder & Managing Partner Arlan Hamilton. We'll go behind the scenes to show you what it's like to build a fund from scratch, and give you deep insights into what investors are really looking for. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You might steal a donut. But that'll have nothing to do with us. Keep it fresh! Brian Brackeen, Founder/CEO of Miami-based Kairos, shares about how technology can help us better understand humanity, the Miami startup scene, and more.…from backstagecapital.com
