The Value-Add

I sat down with D'Arcy Jade Whelan from Outward VC to learn about how she and her team support early stage fintech founders post-investment. This 30ish minute episode is jampacked with information and I'm so excited to finally release it!

Here are the topics we cover:
  • D'Arcy studied Art History before getting into VC. And so naturally, I had to ask how she adapted to the fast-paced world of venture capital when she first joined the fund.
  • We all have had episodes of imposter syndrome at some point in our lives, and she went through it too when she joined her fund. So I asked her for tips on how she got over it.
  • I found Outward VC's approach to investing and supporting founders very unique, so we chatted about the tactical ways they help founders today. They're just under 5 years old, and yet there's so many gems she shared here!
