This week we had the chance to talk with Molly Fowler who serves as the CEO of Dorm Room Fund.
Dorm Room Fund is the OG student-run venture fund, and since launching in 2012, the fund has invested in over 200 startups, and the community has grown to 300+ founders and 50+ mentors. Molly serves as the head of the ship for this massive and growing community of startup talent, and we are very grateful that she let us borrow 30 minutes from her extremely busy schedule.
In this talk, we ask Molly about her unusual path into venture, the thesis behind investing in student-run startups, how DRF has built an unfair advantage over other similar initiatives, and how her team goes about identifying talent in an increasingly-large applicant pool.
