Get from underestimated to iconic: every week, I deconstruct the Billion Dollar Moves of top founders & funders across the global venture ecosystem, in the most raw & unfiltered form: you won't get this anywhere else.
👋🏻
Hey, I'm Sarah Chen-Spellings; venture capitalist & strategist.
Based in Washington DC, I’m currently co-founder of The Billion Dollar Fund for Women (now known as Beyond The Billion), the world’s first and largest consortium of venture funds pledged to invest and actively deploying over $1Bn to female-founded companies. To date, over $638 million has been deployed to close to 800 female-founded companies, with 14 unicorns recognized from Canva to EverlyHealth.
My work is the merger of two elements I care about: venture capital and women in leadership; and this is what you'll see on here.

What the heck is impact washing?
Claiming anything to everything is creating real impact when it's not! Think 'pink washing' - just because a product is pink doesn't mean it's well catered to women and girls if it isn't taking into account their real needs, desires and nuances as a consumer as an example!
Great podcast 👍👍💚💜🩵
Some of this stuff goes over my head as a layman. I am curious, though, how Illumen's fund managers deal with the experience paradox. Where, just as in hiring, an entrepreneur doesn't get funded because they've never started a startup that has been funded before, on top of their gender and/or colour of their skin.
I COMPLETELY agree about AI. Adapt or die. Generative AI saves me SO much writing time and dramatically cuts the learning curve.
Thanks for sharing! It's folks like you LEVERAGING AI that will continue to succeed.
Very humble and grateful person

He might have been scum but still better than any and all governments! They are so much worse
Amazing interview that opened so many doors!
I worked in Taika as a Principal Software Specialist and was one of the first people to be hired. The experience was equivalent to a college degree and has carried me for the past 20 years. I still consider the former employees as family.
Wow! Thanks for sharing, love how you had that powerful experience in your formative years! #billiondollarmoves
How can we say it doesn't exist in finance?! A full chartered CFA is going to have a very different perspective with a very different toolbox than a CMA or CPA. Picture Elon as CFO 😂

Thanks @Zinfinite! Appreciate you tuning in. Don't we love how real Jack is?
@@SarahChenGlobal Loved it! Yes hes a pretty real authentic kind of guy! Passionate about what he does and doesn't seem to caught up in the world as it is today. He seems to just love the simple life and doing great things. Legendary.
Enjoyed this! Your rapid-fire question machine gun landed some surprisingly meaningful answers too xD

At 23:30 - people being paid based on their worth - not their geography - is going to have a dramatic impact on countries most impacted by brain drains due to lack of local opportunities. It will be exciting to see how this business effects human migration during the growth of the new AI enconomy.
Completely agree, Steve! Economies need to continue to innovate, and the war for talent is going to be so real, even with the growth of AI. As seen in the many issues that have emerged despite the excitement of GPT3, there will be still a need for high-skilled talent that can work and make the most of AI.

Sarah can you please tell me how I can connect to kalsoom. I want to raise early stage investment from her.
True, women hedge more when it comes to pitching. They frequently use words like, maybe, could be, i think and etc.
Thanks @maxpaynestory for your comments! So true and so much to say about this. Let's work to change this. Notably while "confidence" is often blamed to be the issue; it is also weaponized against them per recent article by HBR: lnkd.in/eAEgsHAy "When women demonstrate high levels of confidence through behaviors, such as being extroverted or assertive, they risk overdoing it and, ironically, being perceived as lacking confidence. No matter the outcome, women’s lack of career progression is blamed on them, an attack they share with other underrepresented groups. Self-help guides commend women to “lean in” to reach their goals, “stand their ground,”.. women have to do all this while balancing on a knife edge the need to remain likeable/warm by appearing unintimidating, unforceful, and undomineering."
I agree with the Startup Owner on evaluating core values every year. Computer Vision is evil and it is really easy to abuse it. Facial data is sensitive and prone to survelllance and profiling which makes it more risky.
