This week, in the StrictlyVC download, TechCrunch Eic Connie Loizos and StrictlyVC's Alex Gove explored how Decile Group founder Adeo Ressi and former TechCrunch journalist Sarah Lacy became entrepreneurs, and one of Ressi's new projects, VC Lab, won $12 Menture $12 $12.
In fact, while traditional media focuses on the struggles of emerging managers, four stories show why small checks are strategically advantageous in overregistered rounds, how experts enforced from traditional VCs despite their proven track record, and Lacy's theory that a diverse network of managers is lifting the shortage of LP pools.
Additionally, they talk about Lacey's path from the owner of a bookstore in Palm Springs back to the Silicon Valley Ecosystem Building. It's about whether this micro-fundle nassance can actually achieve 50/50 gender parity in venture capital, and what Elon Musk's former roommate Ressi is thinking about Musk time in the federal government this year.
