Arlan Hamilton, the mastermind behind Backstage Capital, dropped some big news on Friday. After over a decade of hands-on work, she’s making a change in her role at the company she founded back in 2015.
In a statement posted online, she spilled the beans: “I’ve decided to step into a chairperson and advisory position.” Yep, she’s moving up the ladder from managing partner to chairing the board and focusing on spreading Backstage’s mission far and wide.
But that’s not all. Hamilton revealed that Backstage Capital is teaming up with 360 Venture Collective. Together, they’re cooking up a $200 million fund set to launch in 2025. Talk about going big or going home!
Now, Backstage Capital has had its fair share of ups and downs. Despite investing in over 200 companies like Guava and Career Karma, the firm hit a rough patch a while back. But with this new partnership and game plan, things are looking up.
Hamilton is pumped about what the future holds. She’s all in on supporting underestimated founders and building a legacy that lasts. And with this fresh chapter kicking off, she’s ready for whatever comes next. Let’s see where this ride takes us!
