Arlan Hamilton doesn’t look like your typical venture capitalist. She wouldn’t be a woman at all, but a middle-aged white man. Hamilton, on the other hand, is black – and a woman. The 43-year-old is also a lesbian and married to a German, the composer Anna Eichenauer. Hamilton created a business model out of her difference and built her own venture capital fund from nothing: Backstage Capital, which has already raised almost $30 million and redistributed it to more than 200 founders.
