Join us as we chat with Shila Nieves Burney, Founder & Managing Partner at ZANE Venture Fund about how to smartly build your company and invest wisely in the evolving markets.

The founder of Zane Venture Fund’s first introduction to venture capital was not ideal. Weeks before trying to invest in a fintech startups,  her daughter was hit by a bullet when mother and daughter were innocently caught up in gun violence. Zane sustained non-life-threatening injuries and it would have been understandable if Burney decided to quit. Instead, she dug in deeper. She has recently launched a 12-week pre-capital program for diverse teams called Zane Access. In this episode, we dive into how founders can leverage the current times to find their passion and change the way they do business. Whether you are an entrepreneur or an investor, this episode will leave you with a new way to think about how you do business!
