Being an Emerging Manager Isn’t Easy
From developing your thesis, building your network, raising from LPs, and getting into deals, emerging managers are always doing more with less—so the last thing that should be hard is executing your deal.
Sydecar is a frictionless deal execution platform for venture capitalists. By pioneering a standardized approach to private investing, they enable capital allocators to identify and back entrepreneurs who are changing the world. Their platform reliably handles back-office operations, automating banking, compliance, contracts, tax, and reporting so that their customers can focus on making deals and building relationships.
Sydecar makes deal execution easy so you can focus on what counts—and what better way to sharpen that focus than with coaching. They’re partnering with nextNYC to giveaway three two-session VC coaching packages from Charlie O’Donnell, a VC with over 20 years of experience at Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, and his own fund, Brooklyn Bridge Ventures.
Brooklyn Bridge Ventures was the first venture capital fund based in Brooklyn and it backed over 100 local startup companies including Hungryroot, Petal Card, Brigit, Shortcut, Radformation, and Imagen—a portfolio where 40% of the companies were female-founded, 30% have a BIPOC founder and 9% have a Black founder, reflecting the diversity of the city’s entrepreneurial workforce and the firm’s dedication to inclusivity.
He currently coaches new and emerging venture investors—from analysts just getting started to GPs running their firms.
Apply below by 11:59PM PT on Friday, 6/21 to win two free coaching sessions. Three emerging managers will get selected and all applications will receive an invite to an exclusive webinar on emerging manager best practices on June 27th at 12PM ET.
