Atlanta Startup Podcast

In this podcast episode, Triet Nguyen, a Senior Associate at Louisville-based Render Capital, sits down with William Leonard to discuss Render's strategic approach towards backing early-stage founders in the Southern and Midwestern US. The conversation also explores how venture capital firms, including Render, are leveraging their "platforms" to win allocations in highly competitive deals, especially in the current market with fewer deals being done. Triet and William break down effective networking hacks for breaking into venture capital, and Triet elaborates on Render's shift to writing fewer, yet larger investment checks to focus on high-conviction opportunities.
