K Street Capital
<p>#Throwback Take: This week, Jenny and Thanasis revisit a conversation with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/paigesoya/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Paige Soya</a>, Managing Partner at <a href="https://www.kstreet.vc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">K Street Capital</a>, a seed-stage venture firm investing in high-growth regulated markets. Paige shares her journey from launching GoTab—a fintech startup she created as an MBA school project and later sold—to leading K Street’s evolution from an angel group to a VC fund. She dives into the firm’s $26M fund-of-funds program in partnership with Washington, D.C., her take on why the DMV is an ideal hub for innovation, and how having a pulse on regulated markets can make or break scaling. Along the way, she shares what she looks for in team dynamics, why her weekly meetings always include discussions on latest AI tools, and her biggest founder lesson: a finance background alone doesn’t make you a VC.</p>

Rerun: Finding PROOF Sits Down with Bobby Franklin, President of NVCA
<p><strong>#ThrowbackThursday</strong> This week on <em>Finding PROOF</em>, we're revisiting our earlier conversation with NVCA and Bobby Franklin.</p> <p>While this conversation originally aired just over a year ago, with the election approaching, it’s a timely reminder of the vital role lobbyists play—and how fortunate the venture capital ecosystem is to have such a strong, passionate advocate for the innovation economy in Washington.</p> <p>NVCA has played an invaluable role in VC wins, such as securing block grant funding for entrepreneurial ecosystems through the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI), supporting tech-driven initiatives in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and advancing the CHIPS and Science Act, which originated as the Endless Frontier Act—a generational investment in technology and entrepreneurship across the country.</p>
