New Podcast Episode: Finding Hidden Outliers with Jamie Finney, Alternative Capital OG

Happy Tuesday, friends. Today I’m excited to release a new episode of the RBFN podcast featuring Jamie Finney, co-author of the Innovative Finance Newsletter and cofounder and GP at the Greater Colorado Venture Fund and Kokopelli Capital. If you’re interested in building a fund that focuses on entrepreneurs off the beaten track, this is a must listen! We cover a ton of useful topics including the problem with developing innovative financial products without a true understanding of entrepreneur pain, why entrepreneurs take money from some investors and not others, and what he’s learned as he’s raised and deployed capital to support entrepreneurs in rural Colorado. I first met Jamie in 2018 at the first Alternative Capital Summit, and we’ve been friends ever since. Not only is he an early mover in our space, but he’s had the opportunity to experiment, start new things, learn and grow. Along the way he’s become a bit of a philosopher, and he puts that on display in our conversation. Enjoy!
