Last week, I wrapped up an enriching angel investing program, and I couldn't be prouder of the insights gained and the connections made along the way! 💫 🧠🧑🎓 I wasn’t “just” interested in learning about the mechanisms & tools of angel investing; I also wanted to learn how I could personally leverage this financial instrument to create positive impact in underrepresented communities. #missionaccomplished 💡I’ve gained super insightful learnings from black founders, VC fund managers, startup founders and this bright cohort with their various life + professional experiences. 📍It’s just the beginning of my journey but looking forward to applying these learnings and contributing to the success of underserved minority founders! #AngelInvesting #InvestmentJourney #ProudMoment #impactinvesting #blackfounders #blackvc Marlon Stéphanie Mahalia Melissa Bryan Urbain Bettara Nigel Javan Yann Aser Deborah Black Wealth Club

Relationships Matter… Being in venture capital I’ve noticed how ruthless and how promising this industry can be. Being a young black male assisting promising minority founders build their companies never comes without challenges but, I’m grateful for the journey nonetheless. I’ve been able to learn from some of the top emerging fund managers in this industry. Relationship building/management is the skill that the best fund managers have and is something I look to replicate. Be quick to listen and slow to speak. Always be open to connecting with others. You never know what you may learn from a 2 min convo. Just something I learned from connecting and reconnecting with some industry partners at the MidCon VC Summit.

How to make your mark in VC? 👩🚀 Recently, we hosted a panel at Serena in collaboration with baby vc. Paul Moriou, Principal, teamed up with Ahmed Mougou, Head of Baby VC France, to share insights on succeeding in venture capital. The 3 tips we walked away with: 🤝 Building strategic relationships with investors, entrepreneurs, and talents is essential for collaboration opportunities. Keeping your portfolio companies in investors' minds secures future funding and attracts top talent. ⚾ Seeking mentors from other funds provides diverse perspectives and valuable guidance. 🛠️ Junior investors play a crucial role in spotting emerging trends and shaping investment strategies. Recognizing patterns, learning from mistakes, and being transparent about them enhance personal growth and credibility. A big thank you to all the aspiring VCs who participated!
