In this episode of My Perfect Failure, I’m joined by the dynamic Senofer Mendoza, co-founder of Mendoza Ventures. Senofer shares the remarkable story of how she and her husband Adrian transitioned from startup founders to venture capitalists, creating one of the few VCs with a mission deeply rooted in transparency, opportunity, and supporting underrepresented founders. We dive into what sets Mendoza Ventures apart—a VC firm that does so much more than write checks. Senofer reveals how their boutique approach blends capital, resources, and education to help founders not just survive but build lasting, generational wealth. We talk candidly about entrepreneurship, navigating the highs and lows, the power of representation, and how today’s tools like AI are empowering a new wave of founders. If you’re a dreamer, builder, or future founder—you’ll find gems of wisdom here!
