The thing I admire about Graham & Walker is that their community came before their investment fund. And as we know, community is the glue that holds VC Platform together - which is why G&W has excelled at creating such a tight-knit squad of investors, founders and other power players. Truly unique. I've never heard of a VC team doing it this way, prior to speaking with Divya on our podcast episode.
