From Grit to Growth: Justis Mendez on Building OneSixOne Ventures

This week’s guest on Unlocking Venture Capital is Justis Mendez, General Partner at OneSixOne Ventures. Sydney and Justis dive into his extraordinary journey from surviving personal adversity to building one of the fastest-growing early-stage VC firms rooted in community and grit.

In this raw and inspiring interview, Justis shares:

• Why OneSixOne backs technical and mission-driven founders, including early bets like Daniela Blanco, who turned her journey from Venezuela to NYU into a thriving startup and Blake Richardson, whose company EaseAlert grew out of their first accelerator cohort.
