In the wake of the devastating wildfires that affected our city just a few weeks ago, we at Struck Capital are proud to support the LA Tech Community Cares Fund. This initiative, born from a concerted effort among LA’s VC community, aims to pool resources towards a unified cause — aiding those hit hardest by the tragedy. Many of our friends and colleagues have suffered immense losses, and it’s our turn to give back. The fund directs resources to families, small businesses, and the valiant firefighters who’ve been on the front lines. Join us in rebuilding and strengthening our community. Every donation, large or small, makes a significant difference and is fully tax-deductible. Together, we can help our city recover and emerge stronger. Support here: https://lnkd.in/gWzdN39u Thank you for your generosity and commitment to making a difference. #LongLA #LATechCares

Thanks to Riece Keck and Seed to Exit Podcast for a great conversation with Managing Partner Adam B. Struck - check it out below!
Just dropped a new Seed to Exit episode with Adam Struck of Struck Capital! We covered: • How Adam built a proprietary in-house talent acquisition engine to supercharge early-stage teams. • The scrappy journey from SPVs to a full-fledged venture fund (and eventually a venture studio). • Why “sweat equity” and genuine, hands-on support can give founders an edge in today’s market. • Adam’s framework for identifying product-market fit (hint: velocity + ACVs + net dollar retention). • Honest advice for new founders on dealing with adversity and leveraging their investor network. If you’re interested in the intersection of venture funding and true operational help, you don’t want to miss this one. Links below:

Thank you David Pack and everyone else who came out to our Office Warming Party! #longLA #venturecapital
There's a lot of hate on here about going to VC-hosted events and how founders should be in the "lab" building instead of socializing. I disagree. VCs are super connectors. On Tuesday, I attended an event hosted by Struck Capital (thanks Sam N. Adams and Adam B. Struck for the invite). • I was offered an intro to a 100+ property hotel group—a massive opportunity for my business. •Another founder I brought (in the AI fashion space) connected with the founder of one of the largest fashion brands in the country (500+ locations). 10x more effective for business development than the hour I would have spent doing outreach. Also, I got free tacos. 🌮 #Startups #Networking #BusinessDevelopment #VC #HotelCommerce
