Human capital takes center stage at SXSW

Backstage Capital’s Arlan Hamilton speaks on a panel about inclusive workforces at SXSW 2022.

The pandemic has served as a wake-up call for employers that the status quo isn’t working anymore, and that perhaps it never did.

At South by Southwest this year, the future of work was top of mind for people. Whether it was a conversation about mental health, empowering employees to have side hustles or unionizing, the big trend this year ultimately revolved around human capital.

We put together a short podcast highlighting the future of work and other trends from SXSW. In it, you’ll hear from:

• Kerry Schrader, CEO at Mixtroz
• Christie Pitts, General Partner at Backstage Capital
• Brittany Davis, General Partner at Backstage Capital
• Chacho Valadez, Principal at Backstage Capital
• Arlan Hamilton, Founder and Managing Partner at Backstage Capital
