Director of Marketing & Communications @ Atento Capital | Transforming Ideas to Reality | Early Stage Investing | Venture Capital

The VCs are at AfroTech ✨ Attending #AfroTech has been a transformative experience, particularly the session “The Fundraiser’s Playbook: Behind the Scenes of VC Funding.” Austin Clements Managing Partner at Slauson & Co., shared invaluable insights into the venture capital fundraising process, highlighting strategies and challenges in securing capital for a successful venture fund. Moderated by Ryan Wilson CEO and Co-founder of The Gathering Spot, the discussion offered a comprehensive look into the realities of raising a venture fund. This session prompted me to finally drop one of my favorite podcast sessions to date. I had the honor of recording with the incredible Haley Bryant of Hustle Fund. Our conversation stands out as one of my favorites for several reasons: 1. Authentic Engagement: Haley embraced my curiosity with authenticity and openness, making me comfortable asking questions as I navigate my own journey into venture capital. 2. Depth of Insight: She provided substantive context, demystifying paths in venture capital, detailing what VCs seek in founders, and offering guidance on how to stand out to their fund. Haley’s light shines brightly, and anyone who shares space with her walks away enriched by her expertise. I’m excited to share our conversation on the latest episode of the Be Atento podcast, where we delve into these themes and more. The conversation was so great, we had to split it into two parts so let me know if you’d like part 2 in the comments ✨. WATCH: https://lnkd.in/gm_AzvsB
