ABOUT SIMONA BALI
tl;dr: Investor, educator, enabler and mentor for the next wave of startup innovation. Entrepreneur at heart, challenge and mission-driven. Keen observer and contributor to the technology, investment and startup ecosystems, I am currently CIO at GoingVC Partners, the investment vehicle for GoingVC, a pioneer in VC education. I am also leading GoingVC Europe. Previously I was investing and venture building within the London-based corporate-backed venture studio and accelerator Founders Factory, working alongside L\'Oreal, RB, Aviva, EasyJet in corporate venture capital initiatives. With extensive commercial experience in MNEs like Coca Cola/Innocent, or YC-backed startups like Superside, I have a flair for identifying opportunities and problems, and for creating ways to scale and amplify value-adding initiatives. Looking ahead, I believe the future is being created by the visionary startups that want to change the world and the brave people who make them happen. I aim to prove myself as one of them, and an enabler for many other diverse, driven founders.Avid promoter of remote-first, I have managed and mentored cross-functional distributed teams long before the whole world joined into the worldwide experiment we are currently living through. EU/ London based, but with extensive time spent across Europe, North America and LatAm.Always up for a chat re. technology-enabled brave ideas that put a spin on our current view of the world, especially in longevity, community, travel, future of work and psychedelics.
