Fiat Ventures General Partner and co-founder Drew Glover fits the textbook definition of an emerging investor, but we had so much to talk about, the term itself never came up during our interview. Founded in 2022, Fiat Ventures is nearing the end of its $25M Fund One, which has focused on seed-stage fintech startups. “Seed is really the space that's optimized to our process, which is to work with them prior to investment,” said Drew. In addition to Fiat Ventures, he also co-founded full-stack consultancy Fiat Growth, along with Fiat Advisory, a business marketplace that connects founders with experienced operators. Working separately, Fiat's three arms strategically support early-stage founders from talent spotting to market entry in a capital-efficient manner. In our interview, Drew unpacked the firm's philosophy of assembling a consortium of experts tailored to each stage of a startup's growth, rather than relying solely on an in-house marketing team. We covered a lot of ground: Drew talked about his journey from football at UC Berkeley to venture capital. Because he's a person of color who navigated unconventional paths into the industry, he emphasized his commitment to accessibility and mentorship for underrepresented founders and fund managers. He also explained how and why Fiat Ventures actively seeks talent beyond Silicon Valley. “As a Black VC that had to find a backdoor into the VC space, I understand how few folks that look like myself are out there both as a fund manager, as a venture capitalist, as well as a founder of color,” said Drew. “I'm typically looking for ways to make myself as available as possible.” Episode breakdown Founding Fiat Growth, and how it evolved into Fiat Ventures Drew: “We believed we had a strategy around cost-efficient growth.” How Fiat Ventures is adapting to recent shifts in fintech? “Reverse-engineering venture” = working with companies prior to investment “Do not hire a growth team. Bring a team like us in who can build your entire growth foundation.” Common pitfalls in early-stage startup hiring and implementing growth strategy The criteria and process Fiat Ventures uses to select and support startups Fiat Advisors supports early-stage startups that aren't yet ready for direct investment “There is a relationship foundation in the VC space that needs to be honored.” Fiat's criteria for choosing investments and the importance of founder dynamics Drew reflects on navigating the VC world as a person of color Fiat Ventures' plans for expanding services and the long-term vision for Fiat's ecosystem Links Drew Glover, GP, Fiat Ventures 40 Under 40: Drew Glover, Fiat Ventures, San Francisco Business Times, 4/21/23 Alex Harris, GP, Fiat Ventures Marcos Fernandez, co-founder/managing partner, Fiat Ventures Fiat Growth Fiat Ventures Fiat Ventures, with $25M for first fund, brings ‘insider' approach to investing in early-stage fintechs, TechCrunch, 11/16/22 Steady App Chime Oakland Citizens Committee for Urban Renewal (OCCUR) David E.

Fintech Familia, I had a great time catching up with Drew Glover from Fiat Growth last week in San Francisco. After about an hour of solid conversation, we decided to finally hit record and turn this into a Podcast. Fiat Growth has partnered with some standout early-stage brands, rapidly growing tech companies, and well-established Fortune 500 teams, with Fiat helping generate over $1.6B in new revenue.We talked about Drew's upbringing, playing football at Cal with Aaron Rogers and Marshawn Lynch, and his early career before deep diving into Fiat. Drew talks about leveraging the scientific method in marketing, what he sees most often when working with these companies, hiring and a tone more.

In this episode, Alan and Drew discuss Fiat Growth, Fiat Ventures, and why it makes sense for them to go together. They also talk about the challenges of raising venture capital and the success companies can find by organically leveraging affiliate partnerships to add value for the user while driving revenue to the business. Drew explains total addressable markets, how he thinks about shifting an existing committed user base into a marketplace, and the reasons he sees fintech as the industry that will have the largest impact on generational wealth. Drew emphasizes the importance of taking risks, valuing different experiences, and learning that solutions and problems are not one-to-one. Finally, he notes that podcasts are becoming a force in marketing and that AI is not a competitor but a source of power. Drew Glover is a founding partner of Fiat Growth and a general partner at Fiat Ventures. He has experience leading go-to-market strategies, marketplace development, user acquisition, and growth teams. Drew further developed his skills at Steady, Namely, Fjord, and Portal A, and has helped companies like Root, JP Morgan Chase, Adidas, and Nike bring award-winning services and partnerships to market. Drew has a very diverse work history, and when he was younger, he was concerned that jumping from industry to industry would be a downfall, but it gave him a wide range of skills and knowledge he would need to find and succeed with Fiat. Those broad interests are still with him, and he tells us his biggest competition is a lack of focus.

The Fintech sector is responsible for the rapid transformation and digitalization of financial tools that help consumers intelligently manage and understand their money. Making an incredibly positive impact, financial services companies distance consumers from the legacy banking system and provide access to historically underrepresented communities. Despite this progress, it is a well known fact that a disproportionate number of entrepreneurs and decision makers within Fintech do not adequately reflect their consumer base. In light of this, there are calls for diversifying all levels of the industry to build a more inclusive financial system.When financial service products are developed through a narrow lens of beliefs, experiences, and assumptions, underbanked or marginalized communities may be affected in unintentional ways. Alternatively, financial tools built with a broader lens adequately predict these impacts and may ultimately translate to a stronger bottom line. Techworkers of today have a unique opportunity to rewrite a stained past of discriminatory financial practices by designing and marketing the inclusive financial tools of tomorrow. The diversification of perspectives within the Fintech community will provide immense benefit to US consumers as well as increase a solution's marketability to a global audience.In this episode, Malcolm sits down with Drew Glover, Founding Partner at Fiat Growth, a strategic marketing shop working with some of the largest fintech, insurtech & rewards brands such as Chime, Lemonade, and Motley Fool. With the vision to scale products accessible to all, Fiat Growth aligns the most impactful companies to collaborate and empower the global consumer, regardless of socioeconomic status. Drew focuses on providing growth, mentorship, and venture capital to start-ups that help streamline and diversify the FinTech acquisition funnel. He believes that everybody deserves access to financial tools that build wealth and simplify life.Drew Glover discusses:What legacy banking systems get wrong about serving underbanked communitiesWhat it means to earn the right to invest in a startupThe rise of affinity based fintechsWhat other problems fintech is close to solvingConnect With Martha:LinkedIn: Drew GloverFiat VenturesConnect With Malcolm Ethridge:The Tech Money Podcast LinkedIn: Malcolm EthridgeConnect with Malcolm @MalcolmOnMoneyAbout Our Guest:Drew is a Founding Partner of Fiat Growth and General Partner at Fiat Ventures.

If you're an entrepreneur looking to raise capital for your startup, you need to have a thorough understanding of venture capitalism and the various aspects associated with it. This guide will provide you with a comprehensive overview of venture capitalism and equip you with the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions when it comes to raising capital. Introduction to Venture CapitalismVenture capitalism is the practice of investing in newly established businesses with the expectation of a higher return on investment. It is a form of private equity and typically involves high-risk investments in startups and other early-stage businesses. Venture capitalists provide financial capital, managerial expertise, and access to networks in exchange for a stake in the company. Venture capitalists are typically wealthy individuals, family offices, or institutional investors with a high risk tolerance and a long-term outlook. Venture capital firms are specialized firms that invest in startups and other early-stage companies with the aim of generating a return on their investments. Venture capitalism is an attractive option for many entrepreneurs because it provides access to capital, resources, and expertise that would otherwise be difficult to obtain. However, venture capitalists typically demand a certain level of control over the company in exchange for their investments, which can be a difficult pill to swallow for some entrepreneurs. Investment StrategiesVenture capitalists employ various investment strategies when it comes to investing in startups and other early-stage companies. These strategies typically involve identifying promising businesses, conducting due diligence, and deciding...

Growing from Zero to One with Drew Glover S6 Ep. 2If you are struggling to find the right marketing strategy for your business or with figuring out which are the right hires to get your company to the next stage, keep listening. My guest will ube discussing what makes a hstrong go-to-market strategy and how to build a team from zero to one and beyond.Drew Glover is a founding Partner of Fiat Growth and a General Partner at Fiat Ventures. He is no stranger to the world of growth, technology, and marketing. From his time at Steady where he led marketplace development and growth to Namely, Fjord, and Portal A, he navigated the ins and outs of Go-to-Market strategies and user acquisition.In this episode we discussed: What makes a strong go-to-market strategy - ensure that you have done deep discovery How to build a business from zero to one -  who are the people to have on the bus to go from zero to one vs the people you need at the growth phase How to scale a team - when to hire generalists vs specialists Venture capital investing - what Drew looks for in founders he invests in Starting a venture fund - ways in which fundraising for a venture fund is similar to fundraising for a company and ways it's different.  Key takeaways: Thirty (30%) percent of venture dollars typically go directly to marketing for a startup. The companies that have a much higher likelihood of failing are the ones that aren't able to distribute that money in efficient ways.  What marketing is at its heart is testing and iterating, preferably cheaply to figure out what works and doesn't work.  Deep discovery and clarity about who your customers are is key to successfully marketing to them.  Business growth is not just hiring, it's hiring the right people at the right time. Founders must ensure they understand if the people they are hiring  are 0 to 1 people or are they 1 to 10 people. 0 to 1 vs 1 to 10: 0 to 1 is individuals who are more generalist versus specialist. They're able to do a lot of things. You need folks that can wear a lot of different hats that don't need a ton of guidance. As you start to grow you need very specific specialists for different parts of your business, these are your 1 to 10 people. Venture capital is a relationship business. It's a business of returns.

The companies that have a much higher likelihood of failing are the ones that aren't able to distribute that money in efficient ways. What marketing is at its heart is testing and iterating, preferably cheaply to figure out what works and doesn't work. Deep discovery and clarity about who your customers are is key to successfully marketing to them. Business growth is not just hiring, it's hiring the right people at the right time. Founders must ensure they understand if the people they are hiring are 0 to 1 people or are they 1 to 10 people. 0 to 1 vs 1 to 10: 0 to 1 is individuals who are more generalist versus specialist. They're able to do a lot of things. You need folks that can wear a lot of different hats that don't need a ton of guidance. As you start to grow you need very specific specialists for different parts of your business, these are your 1 to 10 people. Venture capital is a relationship business. Its a business of returns.

Founders must ensure they understand if the people they are hiring are 0 to 1 people or are they 1 to 10 people. 0 to 1 vs 1 to 10: 0 to 1 is individuals who are more generalist versus specialist. They're able to do a lot of things. You need folks that can wear a lot of different hats that don't need a ton of guidance. As you start to grow you need very specific specialists for different parts of your business, these are your 1 to 10 people. Venture capital is a relationship business. Its a business of returns.

Despite a concerted effort to stop the recall of Santa Cruz City Council members Chris Krohn and Drew Glover, the pair seemed to be ousted from the council in Tuesday's election, according to unofficial results from the county. The results (which have all precincts reporting but do not include many vote-by-mail and same-day registration ballots) show that Krohn and Glover will be replaced by 87-year-old former mayor Katherine Beiers and elementary school educator Renee Golder. In the Santa Cruz County Supervisor District 1 race, incumbent John Leopold will face a November runoff against challenger Manu Koenig. Santa Cruz Local hosts Kara Meyberg Guzman and Stephen Baxter talk about these and more county election results.

We press the candidates for Santa Cruz City Council on what we heard are your concerns: homelessness, housing, the environment, jobs and discord on the city council. We hear from Drew Glover, Renee Golder and Tim Fitzmaurice. We explain what a recall is and why it's on your ballot. We also discuss who's funding the recall campaign.

We start with what you need to know about planned power outages in Santa Cruz County. Then we update you on Tuesday's Santa Cruz City Council and the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors meetings. The council rejects a censure of Councilmembers Chris Krohn and Drew Glover for violating a city respectful conduct policy. We update you on plans for a new Kaiser Permanente medical clinic downtown. Plus, an idea for a point-of-sale real estate report dies. We share why the city punted on changes to rental inspection requirements. Meanwhile, the county board of supervisors takes on homelessness. The board also delays a decision on erosion protection for coastal properties. LINKS: www.pgecurrents.com , www.co.santa-cruz.ca.us/Departments/EmergencyServices.aspx

An effort failed Tuesday to formally reprimand Councilmembers Chris Krohn and Drew Glover for workplace misconduct. In an emotional meeting, the council took steps toward a new ethics policy and mediation among councilmembers. The council also took on new rules for marijuana dispensaries and syringe waste bins. Editor's note: The title of this episode has been updated. The previous title, 'Santa Cruz City Council censure vote fails,' was misleading.

A formal investigation, launched by the City of Santa Cruz's Human Resources Department, has looked into possible workplace misconduct by council members Chris Krohn and Drew Glover. An initial document shows that most of the allegations against Krohn have not been substantiated. However, the final report is not yet complete. We share with you what we know so far.

We talk with Santa Cruz City Councilmembers Chris Krohn and Drew Glover about a recall campaign that has been mounted against them. They respond to allegations of bullying and petitioners' concerns about how they handled a homeless camp closure.
