Brittany Davis is a builder-turned-investor at Backstage Capital who personally led the investment selection process for their first accelerator cohort, choosing 24 companies across four cities and then designing hands-on programming for founder support. She focuses specifically on correcting structural access gaps that cause women and minority founders to be overlooked despite strong business quality, using a highly systematic approach that includes tracking early-stage founders over years and concentrating follow-on capital on existing portfolio companies rather than constantly seeking new deals.

Notable Investments
Backstage Capital was founded by Arlan Hamilton while she was homeless with no finance or tech background, making it one of the only institutional VC funds created from that level of financial precarity and outsider status. The fund requires at least one founder to be a woman, person of color, or LGBTQ and openly treats capital allocation as activism, arguing that "underestimated" founders are systematically mispriced assets that create alpha rather than requiring concessionary returns.
