Episode guiding points:
Learn about Beezer’s sunrise in London and then Boston with her
British father, who was a professor and American mother, who was
the first in her family to attend college.
Questions our host Vidit asked Beezer for her transparent views
on include: Her relationship with money growing up, what made her
decide not to pursue an initial career interest in Politics, how
Sapphire created their LP arm from the ground up and how to build
a brand as a newbie — and we dive into various aspects of the VC
ecosystem today including What should be the right size of VC
funds, geographical and thematic diversification, investing in
emerging managers and key criteria to factor in, value of
pre-marketing and relationship building, how many fund ones
graduate to fund three and beyond and why that matters.
And as always we cover areas you may not have heard before
including 5 hall of fame LP’s Beezer would love to be in a room
with to learn from, her personal biggest learning to date and the
announcement of Sapphire’s new emerging manager program with
CALstrs, the California State teachers retirement fund, one of
the biggest pools of retirement savings in the world.
It’s now time to explore your curiosity. Please enjoy!
