Alexandra Burbey

Seasoned venture capitalist and angel investor with experience vetting and investing in companies of all stages from seed through pre-IPO. Breaking into VC can be a black box - do I use a recruiter? If not, how do I find out about roles? How do I stand out as a candidate? What does the interview process look like? Once I'm in the seat, how do I network? How do I source? How do I evaluate an investment? How do I navigate compensation negotiations? How can I be a great board member? All questions I myself and everyone in venture has had (if they say they haven't they're lying). I'm here to help you navigate the competitive world of VC investing and to help answer those daunting questions. As an Investor at Sound Ventures and a former Vice President at G Squared, I have a deep understanding of generalist investing, having invested in AI, Enterprise SaaS, Vertical Software and consumer businesses. I have successfully coached nearly a dozen individuals, guiding them to secure positions in top VC firms and/or guiding them to build out their own personal portfolios in the angel investing world. Whether you're looking to break into the industry or advance your career, I'm excited to share my insights and strategies with you.
