In this episode of That Entrepreneur Show, we welcome Alex Chompff—U.S. Marine Corps veteran, serial entrepreneur, and seasoned investor—who’s on a mission to transform the venture capital space. As the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Evolution Ventures and Lead General Partner of MinervaFund, Alex is creating new pathways for women and entrepreneurs of color—groups often overlooked by traditional investors.
From bagging products at the kitchen table to directing tech at the world’s biggest VC firm, Alex shares his incredible journey, the concept of "ethical capitalism," and how intentional investing can create both financial success and social change. Tune in to hear how his military background shaped his entrepreneurial grit, why founder character matters more than pitch decks, and how understanding content-market fit is the underrated key to startup success.
Get ready for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation that might just shift how you see business—and your own potential.
