Breaking Into Venture Capital Without Prior Experience, Featuring Connor Sattely

Connor Sattely, Yu Li Shein
Connor Sattely is a venture investor and startup ecosystem contributor serving as Deals Team at Decile Group. Connor Sattely’s journey is a strong example of a non-traditional path. He began as a journalist, said yes to a startup opportunity, and went on to build two startups across three continents, including one platform serving more than 320,000 users. After 12 years in the startup ecosystem, he transitioned into venture capital. In practice, that perspective connects founder quality, market evidence, investment fit, and the long-term work required to build a company that investors can continue supporting. Connor is particularly relevant to conversations around fundraising readiness, investor decision-making, venture-scale growth, and the signals that help founders build conviction with capital partners.
