In this interview excerpt, Recast Capital co‑founder Sara Zulkosky reflects on her favorite memories when meeting diverse emerging fund managers. She explains that after working with about 65 managers, the most rewarding moments come from the long‑term relationships built during a 12‑week program and continued post‑program engagement. She highlights the joy of watching managers confront and overcome challenges they identified, seeing them differentiate themselves, launch their funds, and secure anchor investors. Celebrating these milestones alongside the managers feels super rewarding and heart‑warming for her.

I want to hear more about like some of your favorite memories when meeting new diverse fund emerging managers. Like, can you name some specific moments for you that have been really heartwarming? Oh gosh. I mean, honestly, this sounds like a cop-out, but there's just, there's so many. It's like so hard to pick just one. You know, having worked with 65 of them now, like each one of them has had, you know, really heartwarming moments. I think, I think what I take away from it most is it's just, It's some of my favorite moments are when you see these managers that you've built a relationship with over 12 weeks or more, because we do try and engage with our folks like post-program as well, as much as possible. You know, when they hit, you know, work through the challenges that they've identified, when they, you know, really set themselves apart, launch their funds, and have these things to celebrate, right? Get that anchor investor, you know, fill in the blank. It's just been, been awesome to be able to kind of cheer them on along the way and help them celebrate. Super rewarding.
