VC Uncovered
A newsletter and podcast series to profile the next generation of venture capital leaders
"Only invest in companies you are so bullish on that you would legitimately be excited to quit your VC job and work with that founder on that startup."
"Too much credit is given to venture capital firms for their contributions. While capital can speed up hiring or product development, it simply can't manufacture the passion, grit, and perseverance that make a company successful."
"Being part of a firm based in Atlanta and not on the coast has helped me look at opportunities differently."
“I used to spend hours in a biophysics lab, but I found my real experiment in venture—test, fail, pivot, test again.”
“Large funds create misalignment—founders often raise more capital than they need, which can stifle a company’s real potential.”
“After more than 160 job rejections, I learned that success often boils down to resilience and resourcefulness.”
“The relationship between investors and founders needs to go beyond capital.”
“One check can trigger a ripple effect—from new hires to more diverse cap tables—impact in motion.”
“My path to venture was a ‘backdoor’—a contractual right-to-invest that changed everything.”
“Talented people who are given a shot—regardless of logos—consistently outperform.”
