Arlan Hamilton: Turning Inequality Into Opportunity
Arlan Hamilton
“I hope ultimately, a fund like Backstage Capital, that invests in underrepresented people, is obsolete within my lifetime. Whereby we are no longer underrepresented.”
Arlan Hamilton built a venture capital fund from the ground up, while homeless. She is the Founder of Backstage Capital, a fund that is dedicated to minimizing funding disparities in tech by investing in high-potential founders who are people of color, women, and/or LGBTQ. I interviewed Arlan Hamilton last year right around the time she launched her first book, It’s About Damn Time: How to Turn Being Underestimated Into Your Biggest Advantage. Check out what she had to share about her incredible success.
