In this very special episode of Associated we do the unthinkable - we interview a Partner! Matt Penneycard is one of two Founding Partners at Ada Ventures, the fund investing in overlooked founders and markets. Matt's refreshing candour paves the way for a landmark episode of Associated in which we showcase the classic route into VC from the perspective of someone who went on to raise a fund based on the principle of investing in people and ideas from more unexpected places. To explore what career paths might look like for the more diverse cohort of junior VCs on the scene today, we discuss how Matt hired an Associate who went on to be the other Founding Partner of Ada Ventures, how they raised their fund, and tips for people looking to do the same.
