Recast Capital announces latest emerging manager cohort

Wednesday, March 27, 2024
Opalesque Industry Update - Recast Capital, a platform dedicated to investing in and supporting emerging managers in venture, today announced the eighth cohort of its Enablement Program.

Since launching in 2020 and with this latest cohort, Recast has welcomed 109 funds to the program, 79% of which are led by at least one GP who identifies as a woman or non-binary, and 62% of which are led by at least one GP of color. The program was designed to support US-based emerging managers that are pre-launch or mid-launch for their first or second fund. Over the course of 12 weeks, participants will gain access to networking, community engagement, and one-on-one guidance from venture professionals, LPs, and trusted service providers. The program is supported in 2024 by Gunderson Dettmer, Strut Consulting, Antares Capital, Banc of California, Citizens Bank, Cornerstone Fund Services, Frank, Rimerman & Co., and Sydecar, among others.

"In light of the current fundraising environment for emerging managers, programs like Enablement are all the more imperative," says Recast Capital Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Sara Zulkosky. "At Recast, we've seen how candid and actionable feedback, a stronger peer network, executive coaching, and more LP relationship-building opportunities help move the needle for emerging managers' firm building and fundraising journeys. The Enablement Program offers emerging managers an opportunity to access all of those things and more."

The Recast Enablement Spring 2024 cohort includes:

Maximilian Diez - Twenty Five Ventures

Emily McMahan, Sherman Williams - AIN Ventures

Anna Garcia - Altari Ventures

Carli Sapir - Amboy Street Ventures

Jeffrey Truong - Broadway Venture Partners

B. Pagels Minor - DVRGNT Ventures

"Recast Capital remains committed to serving the emerging manager venture community. Emerging fund managers represent tremendous opportunities for outsized returns and create a path toward greater diversity in venture," says Courtney McCrea, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Recast Capital. "It's a privilege to be able to offer the kinds of resources and tools that our Enablement and Accelerate programs provide and to work alongside so many formidable emerging managers."
