Austin Clements brings an unusual combination of experiences to venture capital, having worked as a private wealth manager at AllianceBernstein, founded a web development company for small businesses, and invested at TenOneTen Ventures before launching Slauson & Co—a fund literally named after the South LA street he grew up near. He frames economic inclusion as an alpha source rather than an impact side-effect, developing specific frameworks like Pattern Breakers to identify founders whose lived experience gives them structural advantages with overlooked customer segments.
