The Next Iteration Podcast

What’s it like to leave Italy at 17, dive into Wall Street, then become a VC at one of the top firms in Silicon Valley? Or what it means to actually be a partner, when so many firms throw the title around?

Today on The Next Iteration Podcast, we’re joined by Carlotta “Lotti” Siniscalco of Emergence Capital —an absolute force in early-stage fintech and enterprise investing, and a fierce advocate for #womenInVenture. Trust us, this one’s a gem. Link in bio to listen on all platforms 💎

P.S. She also talks a bit of shop about the amazing Federato and Emergence’s decision to invest! :)
