 SXSW 2017 panel “Beyond the Bottom Line”
True Wealth Ventures Founding General Partner Dr. Sara Brand speaks on SXSW 2017 panel “Beyond the Bottom Line: Setting a New Bar for VC.” She speaks along with venture capitalist and Founding General Parter of Rethink Impact Jenny Abramson,  CEO of Austin Community Foundation Mike Nellis and psychologist and Co-Founder of the Tingari-Silverton Foundation Dr. Pam Ryan.
