Aaron Samuels of Collide Capital Talks Building Generational Wealth, Empowering Black Founders, and the Role of Venture Capital in Economic Justice

Aaron Samuels is Founder and Managing Partner of Collide Capital, a $66M fund, and the first VC fund to be simultaneously backed by Amazon, Alphabet, and Twitter. He is also the co-founder and former COO of Blavity, the largest global Black media company for Millennials and Gen-Z, and AfroTech, the world’s largest Black tech conference.

Aaron began his professional journey as a spoken word artist before transitioning into strategy consulting at Bain & Co. and later serving as a Product Manager at TeleSign.

On this episode, Aaron speaks with AfroTech's Will Lucas about his journey to becoming a venture capitalist, the creation of his $66 million fund, and the opportunities and challenges in supporting underrepresented founders in today’s legal and economic landscape.
