Rebecca Mitchem and Tom Ferguson to Host Live AMA on Fundraising Fundamentals at Strut’s VC Fund Operations Bootcamp

The venture capital landscape is more competitive than ever before, and knowing how to fundraise is—and always will be—a vital skill. Luckily, we've brought A-game knowledge to your table for our Fall 2022 VC Fund Operations Bootcamp: Rebecca Mitchem, Partner at Neotribe Ventures, and Tom Ferguson, Managing Partner at Burnt Island Ventures.

As partners in emerging funds, Rebecca and Tom know firsthand what it takes to raise capital. Tom’s Burnt Island Ventures, born out of both passion and necessity, was created to support founders who are tackling the global water crisis head-on and attempting to mitigate the effects of climate change. Fundraising for thesis-driven capital presents a unique subset of challenges and Tom will share his lessons learned along the journey. 

Rebecca currently co-leads Neotribe’s inaugural growth stage fund, Ignite (which launched in 2021). But she got her start on the other side of the fence at JP Morgan, where she spent nearly a decade. She has experience evaluating, and deploying capital into, both VC funds and startups. Rebecca has built her career in this category and brings a polished insider’s perspective to the VC fundraising landscape.

With these two joining forces to answer all of your burning fundraising questions, this is an AMA not to miss. The course begins on September 27th—reserve your spot today!
