Last week’s Venture Cooperative call took us deep into Laconia’s investment process, covering everything from deal sourcing to the core of due diligence. Cohort members got an inside look at how Laconia assesses potential investments and what it truly means to build a venture portfolio. We also defined a “Laconia founder”—someone with grit, self-awareness, and humility. They know their strengths and weaknesses, share the spotlight, and build up their team. What has been the biggest takeaway you’ve learned so far?
Huge thank you to Alejandro Grau-Perales, Ph.D. for your feedback on the Venture Cooperative program 🙏 As we dive into Cohort 7, we're excited to see the energy and passion each new member brings. It’s inspiring to watch everyone—regardless of background—embrace the journey of learning venture capital together, supported by our robust resources and the amazing network we’re building. Thank you all for your enthusiasm and for spreading the word!
Taking a moment to congratulate Preeti Adhikary, a Venture Cooperative fellow, on becoming a General Partner at Momo VC! From founding The Great Nepali Diaspora to connect global Nepali professionals, to her new role at Momo VC, Preeti is always looking to make a difference, and we know this is just the beginning. Congrats, Preeti!

Working to uplift underrepresented people is in my DNA. It’s what I was born to do 😇 From building my #community The Great Nepali Diaspora two years ago to connect global Nepali professionals to now supporting #entrepreneurs that are often overlooked, I think it’s high time I publicly share that I’m a General Partner at Momo VC with Sajan Gautam! MOMO isn’t just food for folks from #Nepal (& the region). It’s comfort, it’s love, it’s home. It’s the ethos we’re bringing to #venturecapital in terms of building ecosystems and democratizing access to information, resources & networks 🙏🏽
