Summary
Every investor will tell you theyre different, but most of them arent really... Ive probably talked to at least 100 funds in the last 5 years, and Janet Bannister is the exception, people. Nearly every early stage investor Ive spoken to says that the founder* is one of the primary influences in their decision to invest. Janet is focused on truly supporting the founder through a very thoughtful and well designed holistic program (mind, body, and bank account). In addition to providing her founders with resources for their personal and financial well-being...she gives them carry in her fund!! Janet and I spoke yesterday because I am featuring her in my next edition of Women to Watch in Venture, alongside 4 other baddies youll hear more about in the coming weeks.
