4: Arlan Is Here and She's Not Going Anywhere

Shut Up and Listen with Heather Matarazzo

In this weeks episode, Heather is in San Francisco to talk with Founder and Managing Partner of Backstage Capital, Arlan Hamilton. Arlan has committed herself to founding the "under-estimated", founders/entrepreneurs, including people of color, women, and LGBTQ. With $3 million invested in 64 companies, including Haute Hijab, an ethically sourced fashion brand for Muslim women; Arlan has become a force to be reckoned with in the world of Venture Capitalism. Heather and Arlan dive into what she looks for when investing in founders, her goals for the future, and what TV show she'd love Heather to guest-star on.
