The Rise of VC Operations with Sydecar's Halle Kaplan-Allen

Operations with Sean Lane

Venture Capital firms are often the thought leaders and the tastemakers when it comes to new technologies and trends. But despite VC's focus on efficiency, they don’t really invest in internal efficiencies for themselves. Which brings us to VC Operations.

What exactly does Operations look like inside of a Venture Capital firm? Luckily to help us answer this question, we’re joined by someone who has been studying this very topic for years,

Our guest this week is someone who can help introduce us to what Operations looks like inside of a VC Firm. That guest is Halle Kaplan-Allen, Director of Growth at Sydecar, a deal execution platform for venture investors.

In our conversation, Halle and I talk about why VC don’t typically invest in Operations, we explore the differences between front office vs. back of office operations, and why when Halle couldn’t find anyone else talking about VC Operations, she started a newsletter about it herself.
