What Happens After VC Lab? Building a VC Fund from Scratch with Ashley Marín
An honest conversation with Ashley Marin, Managing Partner at Scirena and VC Lab alumna.
What happens after VC Lab?
In the last week of Venture Institute cohort 7, some of us will be thinking about VC Lab as the next obvious step... but completing VC Lab is only the beginning.
What happens when the program ends, and you actually have to build a fund?
In this conversation, we’ll sit down with Ashley Marin, Managing Partner at Scirena and VC Lab cohort 6 alumna, to hear the story behind her transition from VC Lab to building and fundraising for her own venture fund.
We’ll talk openly about:
Her career journey and why she decided to build a fund
Her experience during VC Lab
The reality of fundraising for a new VC fund— what's been challenging, what surprised her, and what turned out to be easier than expected
Advice for emerging fund managers starting their own journey
The final part of the session will be dedicated to audience Q&A, so come with your questions!
Format: 30 min conversation + 30 min audience Q&A
