Recast Capital
Venture Capital and Private Equity Principals
Supporting and investing in emerging managers in venture
About us
Recast Capital is a 100% women-owned venture capital platform that invests in and supports top-tier emerging fund managers, with a focus on diverse partnerships. The platform was founded by seasoned, institutionally-trained fund investors Courtney McCrea and Sara Zulkosky, and built to drive returns and create change in the venture industry. The core of the platform is a fund-of-funds providing LPs diversified exposure to top-performing emerging, diverse managers (US-based, Fund I-III), as well as access to a pipeline of tomorrow’s industry-leading franchises. As strong complements to the fund-of-funds, the platform also includes a tuition-free, virtual educational program called the Enablement Program, providing learning and development for emerging venture managers (109 funds have participated to date) and Recast Accelerate, a new program to support women- and nonbinary-led emerging managers in venture, including educational programming and $100k to be leveraged in support of their fund backend operations. Both the Enablement and Accelerate programs are powerful differentiators for Recast, helping Recast support more of the community than just those that it can invest in.

Our Co-Founder Courtney Russell McCrea chatted with LeeAnn Shelton of Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management to discuss all things Recast, Accelerate, and why being true to yourself is the most effective form of leadership. Check out the full story below👇
As we head into March and Women’s History Month, I’m grateful to have spent time reflecting with LeeAnn Shelton on my journey since graduating from Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management Kellogg School of Management - and sharing my optimism about where venture capital is heading. Sara Zulkosky and I founded Recast Capital with the mission to support rockstar emerging VC managers. We both saw a huge untapped opportunity to put capital in the hands of fund managers that come from atypical backgrounds relative to most in this industry. Through their unique lenses we could access startup and market opportunities not identified by others. Fast forward to the present day: we’re proud to have worked with 134 emerging managers from so many different backgrounds through the Recast Enablement and Accelerate programs. The impact is real: this diverse community of investors is raising capital, building firms, and backing the next generation of innovative startups. Still, there’s still plenty of work to do. Raising a fund remains disproportionately difficult for women, people of color, and those not brought up in wealth—a gap we’re committed to closing. Change is on the horizon. I’m constantly inspired by the network of women I have the pleasure of interacting with every single day. These leaders aren’t just asking for a seat at the table, they’re creating new tables together. Thank you LeeAnn for putting my story to paper and sharing it with the Kellogg community. It was a pleasure! Be sure to give it a read 👇

Recast Capital reposted this
Community is everything, and Recast Capital has one of the best! So grateful to spend a few days with so many incredibly talented GPs and LPs this week as part of the Recast Capital summit in Sonoma. I'm always inspired by my peers, and enjoyed having some time to step back and soak in knowledge from so many incredible investors. Too many people to acknowledge, but so much appreciation for Courtney Russell McCrea, Sara Zulkosky, Caroline Fernandez, Ava Alemazkoor, Lissa Villani and the Recast team. Appreciate everything you do for emerging managers and the venture community as a whole.
