Concrete Rose Capital
Concrete Rose Capital is a Menlo Park based early-stage venture capital firm, founded by Sean Mendy and Ian Beadle. The firm was incubated by Alan Waxman and his team at Sixth Street who committed to helping Mendy build a purpose-driven organization that could have real impact on underserved communities. The firm invests in ventures led by underrepresented founders of color, founders addressing the needs of underrepresented consumers of color, and founders with a demonstrated commitment to creating inclusive cultures and building diverse teams. The firm believes that capital is one element of success for underrepresented founders and that supporting founders is critical to success and achieving competitive returns. Concrete Rose’s portfolio companies get access to the “Concrete Rose Network” of operators and investors who have built some of the world’s most successful technology companies. The Network commits their social capital — serving as coaches and mentors. Concrete Rose commits 50% of their carry to The Concrete Rose Foundation. The Foundation funds organizations expanding the pipeline of underrepresented talent and connecting it with opportunities throughout the broader Concrete Rose Network.
