Arlan Hamilton Biography
Arlan Hamilton is the Founder and Managing Partner of Backstage Capital, a venture capital firm dedicated to minimizing funding disparities in tech by investing in high-potential founders who are people of color, women, and/or LGBTQ+. Started from scratch in 2015, Backstage has now raised nearly $30 million and invested in more than 180 startup companies led by underestimated founders. In 2018, they launched a four-city accelerator program in Los Angeles, Detroit, Philadelphia, and London.
Hamilton is the author of "It's About Damn Time," an inspirational and tactical business book for budding entrepreneurs and aspiring investors. She hosts the popular podcast, "Your First Million;" has been featured on CNN, PBS, and others; and in 2019 became the first Black woman to have an entirely devoted episode of Emily Chang's Bloomberg 1.0.
In October 2018, Hamilton was featured on the cover of Fast Company magazine as the first Black woman non-celebrity to do so (following Oprah, Serena, and Beyonce).
In 2019, Hamilton and her mother, Mrs. Earline Butler-Sims, announced their new scholarship program, which kicked off with Oxford University's first-ever undergraduate scholarship for a Black student, as well as a commitment to fund a full-ride scholarship for a Psychology student at Mrs. Sims' alma mater, HBCU Dillard University.
Hamilton's favorite TV show is "General Hospital," and her favorite musician is Janet Jackson.
