Are you building a life you love, or just buying things to fill it? In this episode of Generational Growth, KK Hart sits down with Laurel Mintz, founder of Elevate and General Partner at Fabric VC, to dismantle the "pale, male, and stale" world of venture capital. We dive deep into the transition from the "messy middle" of entrepreneurship to becoming a check-writer. Laurel shares her journey from taking over a family business to launching a venture capital fund that prioritizes diverse founders. We discuss why women need to stop gatekeeping, the concept of the "Access Class," and why your data privacy might be the next battleground for personal freedom.
