Capital-less Capitalists: Running a Cashless Fund

Description:

How do you get investing experience without investing experience? This catch-22 is at the heart of getting into venture capital, private equity, and asset management. This presentation walks through creative ways to learn specific asset management skills, create a track record, and build a network. Access is easier than most people realize - it takes work, consistency, and a little bit of luck. Throughout the presentation, Jay and Eric, the co-hosts of the upside podcast, will tell you their story of building a cashless early stage venture capital fund using podcasting as a medium and growing their network from near-zero to over 200 startup founders, venture capitalists, and community builders across the country. In today's world, you don't have to have capital to be like a capitalist.
