Most of the world’s talent goes untapped. Unrecognized.

With that in mind, I interviewed Laura González-Estéfani, founder of Miami-based VC firm TheVentureCity in May 2024.

We talked about the potential of global talent and why more investors need to broaden their scope beyond major tech hubs.

This episode provides valuable insights for founders who don’t have large networks or a business background. She offered practical advice on navigating the VC approval process, building trust with investors, and avoiding common pitfalls such as overdilution of equity.

She also talked about what she’s looking for, and how she prefers to be pitched.
