Platform Spotlight 🔎✨

⚡ FAST FACTS

# Years in Platform: 2
Size of Platform Team (including you): 3
# Years in VC prior to current Platform role: 0
📍 Tulsa, OK

1 // How do you define VC Ops/Platform?

Platform is all about wearing multiple hats to support and grow our portfolio companies. It involves:

• Handling Immediate Needs: Working directly with our startups to help them plan for the future, get ready for fundraising, and find the right people for key positions.

• Building Efficient Systems: Creating and improving processes that make our operations smoother and more efficient, turning what used to be reactive tasks into streamlined routines.

This role is dynamic and constantly evolving, offering new challenges and opportunities every day. It's about creating a solid support system that helps our companies succeed while also fostering personal and organizational growth.

2 // What was your Path to Platform?

I was an early employee (#10) at Venture for America, working directly for the founder and CEO, Andrew Yang, to build a fellowship program for college graduates who wanted to work at startups and become entrepreneurs. After 4.5 years there, I ran the Studio at Cornell Tech for 5 years, where I led a team that steered students through a series of intensely immersive courses, where they developed tech solutions for leading startups, companies, and organizations in NYC, and learned how to build their own ventures. During this time I had my eye on Platform roles as they become more common. By the time I was ready to leave Cornell Tech, I was sure that Platform was the right next step for me. You can read more about it in my LinkedIn post here.

3 // Favorite part of the Platform role?

Sharing in the highs (and lows) of our portfolio companies, particularly when I have had a direct role in a big win or milestone.

4 // What part of the Platform role surprised you?

One part of the Platform role that really surprised me was just how dynamic and varied it is day-to-day. I expected to be busy, but I didn't realize how much I'd be switching gears—one minute I'm deep-diving into a portfolio company's fundraising strategy, and the next I'm helping them recruit key talent or build scalable systems. To a much lesser degree, you are on the emotional roller coaster with the founders. This is both exhilarating and challenging and not for the faint of heart. Self-awareness and good communication skills are essential to thrive in this role. It's a constant juggling act, but that variety keeps things exciting and never boring. Plus, the proactive part of creating efficient processes to streamline operations was something I didn't anticipate but have come to really appreciate.

5 // Break down your Platform role by function.

• 70%: Portfolio Support

• 10%: Community

• 20%: Operations

6 // Pitch a founder on the value of your firm’s Platform in 280 characters or less.

Atento's Platform is designed to give our startups the best shot at success. We'll jump in with our startups and get our hands dirty when necessary, plus we love connecting the dots between our networks and the companies who need customers, advisors, great talent, and more.

7 // What is your advice to Platform job seekers?

To anyone looking to break into a Platform role, my biggest advice is to be intentional and strategic. Do your research to understand what you want and how different firms define the role. Don't be afraid to move for the right opportunity—sometimes the best roles aren't in your backyard. Network like crazy and use resources like #SoYouWantToWorkInPlatform and VC Platform Jobs to get your foot in the door. And remember, it's about finding a firm that has clearly defined their Platform role so you can truly excel.
