Paige Doherty and Joshua Schlisserman are the co-founders of a start-up company called Behind Genius Ventures. Paige is only twenty-three years old and Joshua is only twenty-four years old. This company is dealing with venture capital. This passion and drive for venture capital started for Paige Doherty after authoring a kids’ book for adults explaining the contents of venture capital called Seed to Harvest. Paige Doherty and Joshua Schlisserman cofounded Behind Genius Capital in March 2021. The duo together made twelve fundamental, core investments so far into what they call the “future of work” and “future of play” companies which deployed one million and two hundred thousand dollars. They were backed by limited partners from other capital ventures like Bain Capital Ventures, Tribe Capital, and Bonfire Ventures, as well as partners from Andreessen Horowitz, which is a popular capital venture firm in Silicon Valley that helps fast-forward companies like Apple. Other executives too from the likes of Figma, Stripe, and Webflow. The creators of a beginner’s guide to angel investing. Doherty says their mission is “to inspire, educate, and empower the next generation of venture investors.” Doherty and Schlisserman’s goal was to create a unique and different venture capital firm that was different from other venture capital firms. Doherty’s goal is “…to make the venture more transparent. I want more people to feel welcome here.” Doherty believes that the current system of venture capital firms is not transparent and not straightforward with their clients. Later on, Doherty also learned that this behavior was very common in the capital venture industry culture. Doherty found an opportunity in the capital venture industry where no one else was heading towards and she exploited that missing need in the capital venture world. Doherty and Schlisserman made the process more efficient resulting in saving time with their own capital venture and saving their clients’ time too.

I love this passage because it points out two things. First you can be Entreprenurial in any business, even a set-in-their-ways industry like venture capital. The second is that it points out there are two founders. So many people focus on one founder companies, and the idea that anyone with the right idea could be a millionaire. But co-founded companies like this give me hope that we might see more people co-operating in the entrepreneurship space.
