Hey everyone. I'm Stacy Havener, the founder of Havener Capital and host of billion dollar backstory podcast. I've raised over 8 billion that has led to 30 billion for investment boutiques. That's right. Startup firms, new funds against the odds. How did I do this? Storytelling. We know that the best brands are riveting storytellers yet in the investment industry,
we talk data charts performance. Where are the stories of the people behind the portfolios? Who is helping founders and fund managers get their story out there? That's why I started this show, to demonstrate that words matter in a numbers industry. I interview founders, portfolio managers, and investors who have launched, seeded, and scaled billion dollar businesses.
I also shine the spotlight on emerging managers, the ones under the radar, but on the rise. This show also explores strategies that can help you turn your stories into sales. Get actionable advice from experts that I've used to help investment startups raise billions while battling the odds myself as a female founder in a male dominated industry.
These are the tips I wish I received when I started my entrepreneurial journey over a decade ago. Tune in for the inspo, stay for the stories, then go and tell yours.
