🧵 Today marks a major milestone for Base10 and - amazingly - for the venture capital industry. With our $460M Fund III, Base10 is the first black-led VC firm to cross $1BN in AUM. This is amazing for two reasons <steps on 🧼📦>:

Today, Base10 Partners is honored and humbled to announce that we have become the first Black-led venture capital firm to cross $1B assets under management. @kenrickcai / @Forbes shares details on our new $460M early-stage fund: forbes.com/sites/kenrickc…

At Base10, we work with founders solving problems for the 99%. Our Managing Partner, Ade, recently sat down with @fuelmckinsey, A McKinsey Company, to share more about how we got started and to share his unique perspective on purpose and investing.

As one of the leading Black VCs, Base10 has a unique perspective that could help lead to more opportunities for minority and other underrepresented founders. Listen to our latest McKinsey on Startups episode here 🎧: apple.co/3CKqgYx

Email hack: When you get inbound emails that ask for your time but you don’t want to completely just say no, you can reply asking them for their top 1-3 questions and you’ll respond when you free up.
