Special Edition Newsletter: The VC Talent Who's Who

👋 I’m Cory, a VC platform consultant establishing community and talent strategies for the world's top VCs. In my monthly newsletter, I share framework-driven approaches to building a platform strategy that drives outsized fund returns.

In my most recent newsletter, we explored how a focus on talent is a strategic pillar for any VC fund's platform team. Today, I'm thrilled to present a special bonus edition: a curated list of 100 VC Talent Superstars.

Inspired by responses to my recent LinkedIn post seeking standout VC talent professionals, this list features those uniquely positioning their firms for success through innovative approaches to portfolio talent support. In a role that's as impactful as it is underappreciated, this edition is not only to give credit where it's due but also to foster a vibrant talent community. Each of these superstars has valuable insights to share.

While comprehensive, this list is by no means exhaustive. If you know of a VC talent superstar we've missed, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Click the image below to view the whole list and please share it to shine a light on these unsung heroes of the VC world. 🦸

🌎 Where in the world is Cory?
