In this episode of the Wealthing Podcast, Alicia Castillo Holley sits down with Ivan Montoya, a seasoned venture capitalist and operator who brings a rare blend of insight from both sides of the entrepreneurial table. Ivan is Managing Partner at NextGen Venture Partners, where he helps back early-stage startups with a network-driven approach to VC, combining capital with real-world support from hundreds of experienced professionals.
Ivan shares his unique journey into venture—from growing up as the son of immigrant entrepreneurs to building companies of his own and finally stepping into the investor role. He reflects on what it means to be a value-added investor, the importance of founder resilience, and how VCs can foster long-term, sustainable growth instead of chasing short-term wins.
This candid conversation explores how innovation ecosystems are evolving, how funders and founders can better collaborate, and why trust, timing, and transparency matter more than ever in today’s startup world.
