Jane.VC, a new fund for female entrepreneurs, wants founders to cold email them

Want to pitch a venture capitalist? You’ll need a “warm introduction” first. At least that’s what most in the business will advise.

Find a person, typically a man, who made the VC you’re interested in pitching a whole bunch of money at some point and have them introduce you. Why? Because VCs love people who’ve made them money; naturally, they’ll be willing to hear you out if you’ve got at least one money maker on your side.

There’s a big problem with that cycle. Not all entrepreneurs are friendly with millionaires and not all entrepreneurs, especially those based outside Silicon Valley or from underrepresented backgrounds, have anyone in their network to provide them that coveted intro.

Jane.VC, a new venture fund based out of Cleveland and London wants entrepreneurs to cold email them. Send them your pitch, no wealthy or successful intermediary necessary. The fund, which has so far raised $2 million to invest between $25,000 and $150,000 in early-stage female-founded companies across industries, is scrapping the opaque, inaccessible model of VC that’s been less than favorable toward women.

“We like to say that Jane.VC is venture for every woman,” the firm’s co-founder Jennifer Neundorfer told TechCrunch.

Neundorfer, who previously founded and led an accelerator for Midwest startups called Flashstarts after stints at 21st Century Fox and YouTube, partnered with her former Stanford business school classmate Maren Bannon, the former chief executive officer and co-founder of LittleLane. So far, they’ve backed insurtech company Proformex and Hatch Apps, an enterprise software startup that makes it easier for companies to create and distribute mobile and web apps.

“We are going to shoot them straight”

Jane.VC, like many members of the next generation of venture capital funds, is bucking the idea that the best founders can only be found in Silicon Valley. Instead, the firm is going global and operating under the philosophy that a system of radical transparency and honesty will pay off.

“Let’s be efficient with an entrepreneur’s time and say no if it’s not a hit,” Neundorfer said. “I’ve been on the opposite end of that coaching. So many entrepreneurs think a VC is interested and they aren’t. An entrepreneur’s time is so valuable and we want to protect that. We are going to shoot them straight.”

Though Jane.VC plans to invest across the globe, the firm isn’t turning its back on Bay Area founders. Neundorfer and Bannon will leverage their Silicon Valley network and work with an investment committee of nine women based throughout the U.S. to source deals.

“We are women that have raised money and have been through the ups and downs of raising money in what is a very male-dominated world,” Neundorfer added. “We believe that investing in women is not only the right thing to do but that you can make a lot of money doing it.”

Blockland Solutions conference is over: What’s next for blockchain in Cleveland?

New Post has been published on https://cryptnus.com/2018/12/blockland-solutions-conference-is-over-whats-next-for-blockchain-in-cleveland/

Blockland Solutions conference is over: What’s next for blockchain in Cleveland?

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Blockland Cleveland delivered what its organizers promised: a sold-out crowd, hundreds of developers learning new skills and highly-lauded technology CEOs explaining why blockchain matters and why Cleveland might have a shot at leading the way.

What the conference didn’t do was lay out a step-by-step route to Cleveland’s success as a hub for blockchain, a technology still in the research-and-development stage at major companies like IBM and Accenture. Cleveland’s Blockland initiative aims to work on different fronts simultaneously, pushing blockchain forward in areas like policy creation, education and philanthropy.

And what organizers hope the conference did was convince attendees that blockchain is the next phase of the Internet — and inspire action. Organize preach that the technology is not just for major companies; it matters to local manufacturing businesses, entrepreneurs and technology consultants, too.

Jim Cirillo, a management consultant from the Cleveland area, came to the conference to figure out whether big companies are really dedicating resources to blockchain and whether the technology would affect businesses. After the event’s keynote speakers, he bought in.

“It’s clearly possible (to make Cleveland a leader in blockchain),” he said. “There’s no need to go anywhere else … It’s an issue of widening your vision.”

Cirillo pointed to Ohio state government accepting cryptocurrency for business taxes.

“That’s telling everyone, ‘We’re open.'”

Bernie Moreno, a local car mogul who is spearheading the Blockland initiative, said he thought John Donovan, CEO of AT&T Communications, put it best when he said that moving forward requires persistence and collaboration. Blockland Solutions 2, the second annual Cleveland conference, set date for next year. After a short rest, the volunteer group will meet in January.

“We all all have to keep each other accountable,” he said.

So what’s coming? A downtown technology hub, to be announced in February or March. A new think tank dedicated to blockchain, technology adoption and research. A slew of universities trying to incorporate blockchain into the curriculum, with schools like Baldwin Wallace University already offering certificates.

The goal, Cleveland State University president Harlan Sands said in Tuesday morning remarks, is to create a pipeline. Cleveland will have to educate coders, whether through degrees or in career development. Coders will need to know traditional coding skills, as well as how to work with different blockchain systems. Some applications run on private blockchains; some on public.

Then Cleveland has to make sure that there are jobs for these coders when they finish training. JumpStart and FlashStarts announced Sunday millions of dollars will become available to Ohio blockchain start-ups in their early stages.

“The more success stories that can come out of Cleveland about real solutions to real business problems started by entrepreneurs like us — I think that’s the impetus we need,” said Votem CEO Pete Martin.

Votem, a Cleveland-based mobile-voting program, is used as a prime example of blockchain in the real world. In interview with cleveland.com, Martin said there’s a real opportunity with small businesses and entrepreneurs.

“This is a real thing. It’s not going away. Over time, we won’t be talking about blockchain as much — like the way we don’t talk about the internet — we’ll be talking about the things we do with blockchain.”

Working in this space isn’t new for Adam Gall, a Cleveland native and entrepreneur who presented at the conference. Gall has worked in blockchain technology for years and founded Crypto Cleveland, an ever-growing cryptocurrency MeetUp group. He is working on a new product, Topaz, that will help businesses use public blockchain to confirm parts of their processes, like verifying information through automatically-generated and inalterable timestamps.

Civic leaders and advocates can support blockchain and technology development in Cleveland simply by asking what small businesses and entrepreneurs what they need, Gall said. For those who want to be involved, talking with the tech community or coming to a Crypto Cleveland meet up is a good first step.

“The only reason I’m sitting here today is because I started doing things,” Gall said in a interview with cleveland.com. “Let’s talk about how we can build things together.”

Several funds around Ohio want to support blockchain development.

Yesterday at the Blockland Solutions Conference in Cleveland, Ohio, it was announced that technology funds JumpStart, FlashStarts, and several others plan to financially support nascent blockchain startups. Ray Leach, CEO of JumpStart, said his organization and six other groups want to invest $100 million, while FlashStarts is offering a $6 million pre-seed fund, according to a December 2 Cleveland.com report.

Investors are interested in startups that focus on blockchain's role in business or government solutions. Indeed, these two realms – business and government – are Cleveland's "niche," according to Bernie Moreno, one of the key organizers behind the conference.

Leach added that within the next three years, investors intend to make $200 million available to blockchain startups, among other companies, that locate in poor neighborhoods designated as Ohio's Opportunity Zones. The Opportunity Zones program, part of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, offers tax incentives to investment teams that re-invest their unrealized capital gains into Opportunity Funds, which then invest the capital into Opportunity Zone businesses.

Ohio's funding announcement arrives against a backdrop of blockchain initiatives within the state. The Blockland Solutions Conference, which runs until tomorrow, December 4, is one part of Blockland Cleveland, a movement throughout the greater Cleveland area to cultivate an ecosystem for blockchain-based solutions.

Moreno, in addition to helping organize the conference, has been a cheerleader for the Blockland initative since its inception several months ago. Although there are various components to Blockland, such as multiple "nodes" working on projects to support the movement, Moreno also believes a gathering such as the Blockland Solutions Conference is important to attract people to the city and the state. He told ETHNews:

"The main goal is to have people … not from Cleveland say, 'Whoa, this amazing conference happened in … Cleveland?' That later becomes, 'Of course a conference like this would happen only in Cleveland!'"

Brenda Kirk, co-chair of Blockland's Talent Development node, added, "Cleveland is well suited to expand its technology ecosystem, and the success of the Blockland conference shows our dedication to remaining at the forefront of blockchain thought leadership." As a member of the movement, she looks forward to "put[ting] Cleveland on the map" to further bring blockchain talent to the city.

Moreover, Ohio's Lt. Governor-elect Jon Husted recently announced the InnovateOhio initiative to help modernize both state and local government. Though not strictly focused on blockchain, the program includes an effort to generate blockchain-based digital records for documents such as car titles, vehicle recall notices, and proofs of insurance.

With all the recent advancements, Ohio (especially Cleveland) has made tangible progress toward becoming a blockchain destination. "[People] would be shocked at what they'd find here," said Moreno.

Update (12/3/2018): This article has been updated with information from Brenda Kirk, co-chair of Blockland Cleveland's Talent Development node.

Штат Огайо: Семь фондов планируют инвестировать 300 ��иллионов долларов для запуска блокчейн стартапов до 2021 года

Огайо выделит более 300 миллионов долларов на стартапы блокчин до 2021 года, ежедневный новостной магазин Northwest Ohio Cleveland.com сообщил 3 декабря. Выступая на текущей конференции Blockland Solutions, некоммерческий генеральный директор JumpStart Рэй Лич объявил, что в общей сложности семь фондов инвестировали 100 миллионов долларов в «стартапы на ранней стадии, которые сосредоточены на использовании технологии blockchain для бизнеса или правительства». Еще 200 млн. Долл. США были выделены «дополнительными инвестиционными командами» для блокчейн, работающих в рамках проектов социального обеспечения штата Огайо, получивших название «зоны возможностей». В штате Огайо запускает новаторскую схему, позволяющую предприятиям и, в конечном счете, физическим лицам платить налоги, используя Биткойн (BTC). Отдельно, местный венчурный фонд FlashStarts хочет внести 6 млн. Долл. США в фонд, также ориентированного на запуск блокчейнов. Планы еще не стали официальными, отметил Cleveland.com, с политиками в Blockland, тем не менее, оживленными в плане повышения привлекательности Огайо в качестве инновационной технологической среды. «Это будет разрушительно, конструктивно, что поможет создать эффективность, сэкономить деньги», - заявил во время своей речи в воскресенье во время своего выступления губернатор Джон Хюст, добавив: «Мы хотим быть государством на Среднем Западе, к которому все обращаются».
