About The Episode

Join us for an insightful episode of the Dakota Live! Podcast featuring Andrea Lo, Founding and Managing Partner at Main Character Capital. Andrea shares her unique journey across venture capital, fund operations, and blockchain innovation—and how those experiences led her to launch a GP seeding strategy focused on backing the next generation of bold, high-conviction fund managers.

In this episode, Andrea breaks down the art and science of sourcing emerging GPs, conducting institutional due diligence, and designing bespoke GP staking deals with long-term alignment in mind. She also shares how she identifies "main character" managers, what makes a differentiated fund strategy, and how LPs can access uncrowded opportunities in venture, private equity, and digital assets.

Whether you’re a current allocator, emerging manager, or student of the industry, Andrea’s perspective offers a masterclass in identifying and cultivating long-term investment franchises.
