Episode 71: Venture Capital and Representation with Justin Kang
Have you ever felt imposter syndrome take over your life, so much that it prevents you from seeking out career opportunities you're truly passionate about? You're not alone.
Justin Kang, our guest today, taught me that these feelings are incredibly pervasive throughout underrepresented communities because we are just that — underrepresented.
Though the climate is changing, there are still systemic and structural barriers that reject otherwise talented and creative people from pursuing their dreams. And one significant sector that’s trailblazing change? Venture capitalism.
For me, venture capitalism always seemed like such an intimidating world. Thankfully, now that I’m a mentor with the Founder Institute, triple digit million dollar revenue has become part of my normal vocabulary.
That’s why I’m excited you’re tuning into our conversation because Justin and I will talk about what VC means, how it's changing representation for the better, what Visible Hands and similar investing companies are doing to empower people of color to become entrepreneurs, and the importance of being vulnerable, real, and transparent about the struggles entrepreneurs face.
