Why?
Because founders don’t just need capital, they need collisions and conversations. And it's something you can’t replicate in a Google Meet.
In this episode of Visionaries, I talk with @camdoody and @__MattPatt__ about why they built Brickyard around space—a place where founders can show up, plug in, and grow together.

Q3 was tough in the public markets, but smooth at VentureSouth:

- $1M to 3 new companies

Bring on Q4!
