Tristan Wilkerson is one of the few venture capital investors whose background is rooted in political organizing and policy work rather than tech or finance, having spent years as a political organizer on Capitol Hill before co-founding Think Rubix and later High Street Equity Partners. He co-leads what's described as Arkansas's first Black-led venture capital firm, deliberately named after a historic Black business corridor in Little Rock where his family lived, and focuses on investing in underrepresented founders from underrepresented geographies once they've crossed $100,000 in annual revenue.
