Daniel Fetner, General Partner at Alpaca Ventures kicked off our 2022 Venture East Conference last week in Miami, FL. Fetner shared his insights about what it takes to create a startup and carry it through the growth stage. Daniel’s dad Cliff was a 3rd generation AEC leader, who ended up launching a B2B e-commerce platform for dirt (the goal of being Amazon for dirt) with a little help from his son, called Soil Connect, embracing the digital advantages that our global economy now relies on. Fetner’s inherited passion for advancing the built world is unmistakable and supported by his experience-backed knowledge of this nuanced market, his convictions are ones that you won’t want to miss.
