Katelin Holloway with Mikel Ellcessor
<p>Katelin is passionate about helping founders build scalable, diverse, and inclusive cultures. First introduced to the notion of intentional cultural development at Pixar Animation Studios, she studied alongside some of the most brilliant creative business minds of this generation. From there, she spent a decade building teams as a senior executive at some of the internet’s most influential startups, including Klout and Reddit. In early 2020, Katelin made the leap from operator to investor, supporting a new generation of leaders. Through the course of her career, the one common denominator remains: enabling people through belonging to create beautiful, innovative products that move the world.</p> <p>Katelin is currently a Founding Partner at Alexis Ohanian’s venture capital firm Seven Seven Six, where she invests in people-first companies and manages the firm’s programs, including the 2% Growth & Caregiving Commitment and Operator in Residence Program. She is deeply committed to helping founders and the broader venture ecosystem evolve their diversity, equity, inclusion & belonging practices, creating new opportunities and access to wealth for people and products typically underrepresented in the tech industry. As an investor, she is passionate about supporting the companies that will shape the future of work, life, sustainability, and the delicate balance that enables us to thrive.</p> <p>ask is made by @shanemac @mikelellcessor & Paul Chuffo at Joyride Media</p> <p><strong>Key Seven Seven Six Initiatives referenced in the show:</strong></p> <ul> <li>2% Growth & Caregiving Commitment: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sevensevensix_at-the-early-stage-founders-are-their-startups-activity-6733061139955011584-tZzB"><u>https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sevensevensix_at-the-early-stage-founders-are-their-startups-activity-6733061139955011584-tZzB</u></a></li> <li>Operator in Residence Program: <a href="https://www.sevensevensix.com/news/announcing-our-2021-operators-in-residence"><u>https://www.sevensevensix.com/news/announcing-our-2021-operators-in-residence</u></a></li> <li>Twitter thread from @Intentionaut: <a href="https://twitter.com/Intentionaut/status/1386746223709806593?s=20"><u>https://twitter.com/Intentionaut/status/1386746223709806593?s=20</u></a></li> </ul>

Chris Ruder with Shane Mac
<p>Spikeball CEO Chris Ruder is NOT the quick-hit, hockey stick growth guy. That said, Spikeball just crossed $100m in total revenue, so... In this episode of ask, Chris shares his thoughts about starting a business <strong>without risking it all. </strong>While building Spikeball, he kept his corporate job for over 5 years and we sit down to discuss the conversations with his wife and brother which led to him going full-time. It's a story of quiet confidence, patience, persistence, <strong>and </strong>is a powerful example of a less risky way to start a business.</p>
