Episode guiding points:
Learn about Beezer’s sunrise in London and then Boston with her British father, who was a professor and American mother, who was the first in her family to attend college.
Questions our host Vidit asked Beezer for her transparent views on include: Her relationship with money growing up, what made her decide not to pursue an initial career interest in Politics, how Sapphire created their LP arm from the ground up and how to build a brand as a newbie — and we dive into various aspects of the VC ecosystem today including What should be the right size of VC funds, geographical and thematic diversification, investing in emerging managers and key criteria to factor in, value of pre-marketing and relationship building, how many fund ones graduate to fund three and beyond and why that matters.
And as always we cover areas you may not have heard before including 5 hall of fame LP’s Beezer would love to be in a room with to learn from, her personal biggest learning to date and the announcement of Sapphire’s new emerging manager program with CALstrs, the California State teachers retirement fund, one of the biggest pools of retirement savings in the world.
It’s now time to explore your curiosity. Please enjoy!
