How did Q1 go by already? Where has the time gone? VCFamilia members have been hard at work building their empires with formidable track records, new GP raises, and more milestones than we can capture here in this newsletter.
As we're nearing the end of Women's History Month, we're highlighting our incredible women in VCFamilia in our inaugural Twitter space next Tuesday!
We've been working on several great partnerships with mission aligned organizations and are excited to announce our first one with LBAN, see more below. If you're interested in partnering with VCFamilia more formally feel free to reply.
