Backing Underrepresented SaaS Founders with John Francis, Stout Street Capital

In this episode of SaaS Half Full, host Lindsey Groepper chats with John Francis, Founding Partner at Stout Street Capital. The microfund has always focused on investing in underrepresented founders in the middle of the country, but 2020 brought to light the opportunity to also focus on those founders from underrepresented groups.

John shares how 2020 encouraged Stout Street to pivot and support more diverse founders, what he believes later-stage VCs can do to help and what investing trends look like inside the coasts.
