Building a Fund that Feeds the Soul

On this episode of Access and Opportunity, we welcome investor Mallun Yen, partner and founder of Operator Collective. Operator Collective is a disruptive new approach to venture capital which brings senior operating leaders from diverse backgrounds together with founders of startup companies. We also hear from one of the leaders of those startup companies, Kieran Snyder, the co-founder and CEO of Textio, an augmenting writing platform that analyzes text to find the patterns that cause some to succeed, where others fail. In this episode, Mallun and Kieran take us on a journey where we explore what it takes to build a diverse and well-rounded portfolio company, what leadership looks like during a time of crisis and why having the right tone when sharing messaging means everything. Come on and join us for the ride.https://www.morganstanley.com/what-we-do/inclusive-innovation-and-opportunityThe guest speakers are neither employees nor affiliated with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC.
