Ep 72: Funding Startups, Breaking Stereotypes & Reclaiming Your Seat at the Table w/Anastacia Gordon




The Minority Trailblazer Podcast with Greg E. Hill show

Summary: In 2014 Anastacia took a risk and left her job in consulting to become the first employee of a now venture-funded startup called Jopwell. She withdrew her admission to Columbia Business School in 2015 when Jopwell went through Y Combinator, the most renowned startup accelerator program in Silicon Valley. By the end of that summer, her work helped the company raise a $3.25M seed round of funding from Magic Johnson Enterprises and prestigious venture capital firms like Andreessen Horowitz, Kapor Capital, and more. Join us as we talk VC funding, business school and growth on Episode 3 of Season 4.
