Navigating and Transforming the World of Venture Capital for Minorities with Monique Villa

Twende: Empowering Black and Brown Entrepreneurs to Thrive

“The data exists” to show that investing in BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) founders pays off, says Monique Villa, co-founder of Build In SE and early-stage investor at Mucker Capital. Originally from Los Angeles, California, Villa organically found her way to Nashville and into the VC world. Today, she's paying it forward by starting a project called Unprocess that focuses on how paving a path for a career is more organic and less linear. She joins Brynn Plummer in this episode to help explain how venture capital works and how it’s changing for the better to support BIPOC.
