When a Homeless Woman Disrupted Silicon Valley's Boys' Club
What drives someone to bid $90,000 on a truck? In 2018, when the gavel fell at Julien's Auctions and Arlan Hamilton won Janet Jackson's 1956 Chevrolet Cameo, tears streamed down her face. This wasn't about owning a celebrity vehicle-it was about the impossible distance she'd traveled from sleeping on airport floors just six years earlier. That moment crystallized everything: a homeless, gay Black woman with no degree had become a venture capitalist investing in over 200 companies. Her journey challenges everything we believe about who deserves access to capital and why the system remains so brutally exclusive. Here's a number that should make you furious: in 2017, Black women received 0.02% of venture capital funding. Not 2%-0.02%. Meanwhile, these same women were starting businesses at six times the national average. The math doesn't just fail to add up-it exposes a rigged game. When underrepresented founders finally secured pitch meetings, they spent three-quarters of their time proving their basic worth rather than discussing actual business ideas, facing questions about their background that white male counterparts never encountered. Hamilton embodied everything Silicon Valley rejected: no wealth, no connections, no pedigree. Instead of fighting for scraps, she flipped the script entirely.
