Ep 125: "Diversity Drives ROI in the 21st Century!" with Adela Jamal

Adela encourages us all to bet on what we want the future to look like! She reminds us that exponential change is sometimes as simple as inviting one more friend along the way, and she forces us to explore the reality that thinking differently is the most obvious key to unlocking great investment returns, not groupthink. In this really thought-provoking episode, Rob and Adela Jamal, Managing Partner at MileMark Capital, dig deep into the crucial role of diversity and inclusion in the entrepreneurial economy, in Los Angeles, and globally. Adela brings every bit of her own diverse life experience and cultural perspective, to the pursuit of sustained change in the Venture industry and Entrepreneurial Economy. Together they explore the pressing need for more women and women of color in investment capital and leadership roles, highlighting how diverse teams drive innovation and yield greater returns. Adela shares tactical steps to address investment inequities, such as increasing female fund managers and creating mentorship opportunities. With insights from MileMark Capital, a venture capital firm rooted in the MIT ecosystem, this conversation sheds light on the power of capital allocation to solve real-world problems and disrupt sectors like health tech, ag tech, and biomaterials. Tune in to hear Adela's inspiring journey and her work with All Raise, an organization supporting female and non-binary funders and founders, as she provides actionable advice for breaking into venture capital.
