Triet Nguyen is Empowering Entrepeneurs!

Welcome to another thrilling episode of the Founders Pack Wolfcast! Today’s guest is Triet Nguyen, a Senior Associate at Render Capital, who brings valuable expertise from roles in sourcing startups at MicroVentures and supporting portfolio companies at CapitalFactory.

Triet started his journey at Render Capital by reflecting on what he truly connected with in the industry. By looking into some of the great investors that he has admired over the past 10-20 years and what they have done compared to other good investors, he saw that good investors have a way of building communities in Tech hubs that are already built such as Austin, Miami, the Bay Area, etc. However, the great investors are the ones that have built these startup ecosystems in those cities for other investors to come and build their community. If it’s something worth doing and trying to be great, it is worth the risk to Triet and his company. With everyone thinking that the Midwest and Kentucky specifically are just ‘flyover states,’ Render Capital is trying to change this narrative by building a Tech hub here.

Founded in 2020 by Access Ventures, a private operating foundation based in Louisville, Render Capital emerged as a deliberate local investment strategy aimed at enhancing access to capital for entrepreneurs in the regions of the Midwest and South. This initiative has played a pivotal role in their mission to foster an inclusive and dynamic economy, prioritizing creativity and opportunity.

Now with over $6.5 million deployed, 50+ companies funded, and 60+ syndicate partners, Render Capital is turning this vision into a reality.
