"It's funny you mention not knowing anyone in the industry......I didn't know anyone in the country...." A couple of years ago, our host Vidit Agarwal met Sarah Nolet, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Tenacious Ventures for a walk, and felt a unique connection on their shared willingness to have a go, and being open to accepting rejection. Her fund recently announced a $18M first close on Fund II in a challenging market. To confirm her incredible talents, Sarah has engineering degrees from MIT and Tufts University AND she was a three-sport varsity athlete (soccer, basketball, and track & field) + recognised as an All-American (soccer)! This snippet from the recent episode #173 on The High Flyers Podcast is a fascinating insight into how Sarah and Vidit broke into their respective work. 🎧 Listen to the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/gwkN23KM
