ABOUT SHAFFER WOODY
I am driven by the intersection of venture capital and early-stage startups. Through hands-on experience in venture capital, startup analysis, and sales, I have developed a strong foundation in fundraising, deal sourcing, market analysis, and strategic support for both investors and founders. Alongside my passion for venture capital, my MBA experience has provided me with opportunities to work closely with and support tech startups through strategic consulting engagements. This has fueled my interest in management consulting, where I can leverage analytical problem-solving, market research, and strategic planning to help startups and high-growth companies scale effectively. I am actively seeking full-time opportunities in venture capital, with a focus on early-stage startups, as well as roles in management consulting where I can apply my skills to drive business success.
