Join us in welcoming our newest cohort of Venture Partners to Republic. As Republic continues to expand internationally, so does the Venture Partner community.
This cohort adds 42 new VPs from 13 countries to our network. These mission-driven VCs and partners specialize in industries ranging from social impact to climate change to crypto and more. We’re thrilled to continue building out the VP program and expanding our deal flow pipeline for the whole Republic community. Read their bios and learn more about them here!
What started as a way to connect during the pandemic has evolved into a robust international community of investors, ecosystem builders, and founders who share one mission: to democratize access to capital for everyone. The VP program provides a safe space for partners to ask questions, network, and grow within the competitive VC industry. By bringing these thought leaders together, we’re able to create holistic solutions to some of our most pressing challenges.
If you don’t already know our VPs, you should. This growing community helps bring amazing companies to the Republic platform—which ultimately translates to even more deal flow for our investors. In return, we connect them with a massive network of other mission-driven innovators and help them achieve their investing goals. In the last year alone, we’ve seen a variety of impactful companies launch on Republic thanks to our VPs, including KweliTV, a streaming service highlighting Black filmmakers, GRID, a no-code SaaS platform to build purposeful video games, and We Are the New Farmers, a sustainable urban farm with a CPG twist.
This year, we’re excited to transform the program from a fully virtual experience to one that blends in real-life opportunities to connect in person. Our team has been on the road meeting Venture Partners in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta, Austin, Washington D.C., Toronto, and London—a huge value-add for our community (and for us!) after two long years of Zoom calls.
As we head into the second half of the year, we are doubling down on our efforts to support our portfolio of founders through 1:1 mentoring with our Venture Partners, in-person networking events around the globe, and getting more VPs involved in our international expansion efforts (starting with our new colleagues across the pond at Seedrs).
Last but absolutely not least, we couldn’t launch this cohort without taking the time to congratulate its founder and our fearless leader, Cheryl Campos. She’ll be heading to Stanford Business School this fall—and we are so honored to celebrate her accomplishments and continue her legacy by welcoming this newest cohort of VPs.
We’re currently accepting applications for our next cohort, launching this fall. If you want to join our network, challenge the status quo, and help get more founders funded, just click here to apply.
