BLCK VC For all the high-speed growth and innovation that venture capital is supposed to fuel, the industry itself isn’t structured for quick change. BLCK VC co-founder Sydney Sykes knows it first-hand. Since last summer, firms have reached out to Sykes for advice on changes they can make fast. Increasingly, her answer has been a program growing in popularity in VC: the scout. “Firms will hire a partner once or twice a year max, or an investment professional.
