Emerging Managers Podcast Launches, Highlighting New Players in Venture Capital Outperforming the Status Quo

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - EntSun -- Debuting in the venture capital podcasting space, the Emerging Managers Podcast breaks ground covering an in-depth exploration of the often-overlooked landscape of first fund venture capital firms. Hosted by seasoned investor Scott Kelly of Black Dog Venture Partners and Podetize Founder, Tracy Hazzard, this series aims to shed light on the 1,800+ emerging fund managers who are driving innovation and delivering exceptional returns, yet often remain hidden from mainstream attention.

In a venture capital ecosystem where 70-80% of capital flows to a select few established funds, the "Emerging Managers Podcast" seeks to recalibrate the narrative. The podcast dives deep into the unique stories, investment theses, and operational strategies of these emerging fund managers, providing valuable insights for Limited Partners (LPs), angel investors, and entrepreneurs alike.

"We've identified a critical disparity in the VC landscape," states Scott Kelly. "While the lion's share of capital is concentrated in a small number of mega-funds, our research and conversations reveal that emerging managers are frequently outperforming these giants in terms of alpha and innovation. These are the funds driving the future, and they deserve a larger platform and greater LP engagement."
