DR. KIM VAN DUSEN: Stop the Tantrums: How Play Can Transform Your Child’s Behavior

ARLAN HAMILTON: What the 1% Don’t Want You to Know About Building Wealth
Q: What sparked the idea for Backstage Capital and its mission?
The realization that less than 10 percent of VC funding went to women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ founders inspired me to create a fund dedicated to investing in the unseen and undervalued, with the aim of changing the landscape by aligning money with the people who build communities and jobs.
ARLAN HAMILTON: What the 1% Don’t Want You to Know About Building Wealth
Q: How did you first get noticed by major players in Silicon Valley?
I started by researching and reaching out strategically, leveraging personal introductions, and using a persistent, targeted approach to connect with people who could validate my concept. When one introduction opened doors, it created a ripple effect that eventually brought in investors who could see the value of backing underrepresented founders.
