WORK HISTORY
Limited Partner @How Women Invest
How Women Invest is an early stage venture firm seeking to realize untapped economic potential by focusing on the intersection of female founders and female investors. Only 2% of companies founded by women get venture backing, though 40% of companies were founded by women, and they generate 26% greater return than those founded by men. Together, with sister organization How Women Lead, a professional network of women, we see female founders as a force to be reckoned with and work to create ecosystem change by investing in and amplifying female-led and female-majority owned companies with venture capital and mentoring resources.
