What SIRS Say
I absolutely adore the commitment to diversity. I really admire the setup of the 3 branches in order to maximize the impact and access to resources for diverse founders. I am interested in impact ventures and hope to delve into that in my experience with this startup.
I have admired the work of Zane since I first became interested in the industry of Venture Capital. My desire to work with Zane stemmed from the desire to learn from a leading venture firm that aims to enhance equity within the VC space.
