GP at Transform Capital

If you are a new or seasoned VC, you need to join the The Sutton Capital community. It is great community to learn and network with other VCs and investors. The relationships and friendships I’ve built and feedback I’ve gotten have been invaluable.

Unicorn Growth Capital

It's been a great experience with Sutton Capital. As a GP, I'm more focused on raising capital so through Sutton Capital, I get alot of value from connecting with LPs on a weekly basis and getting feedback from them.Barbar

Weave VC

Joel did a fantastic job bringing together a highly engaged group of LPs, helping give new GPs feedback and actionable insights on how to improve their offering to make it more appealing to serious fund investors. I would highly recommend this program to new fund managers. Joel is a wonderful person as well. He's super kind and always available to chat and bounce ideas off of. Thank you Joel and Sutton Capital!

The Sutton Capital Fund Accelerator has been an incredible experience. I highly recommend it for any emerging fund manager. Joel has created an amazing platform for VCs and LPs to meet and learn about each other.

We've been a part of the Sutton Capital's VC fellowship program at Santa Barbara Venture Partners. Joel and his team have done a great job building a vibrant and supportive ecosystem for GPs/LPs. We're excited to continue participating and collaborating with Joel and team. Thank you!
