Peri’s Venture Capital Qualifications
Experience level: Associate
I'm a current VC investor with prior experience at another venture fund as well as Goldman Sachs. I am passionate about helping others break into VC without IB experience. I also love helping give pre-seed and seed stage founders feedback on their businesses or pitch decks. I also lead the Chicago Chapter of the Emerging Venture Capitalists Association, the largest venture capital organization in the country supporting pre-partner investors. Prior to spending nearly 2.5 years in venture capital, I worked in the asset management division at Goldman Sachs. My experience at Goldman Sachs, combining deep public market expertise with strong sales skills, has provided me with a distinct advantage in identifying and supporting high-potential investment opportunities within the venture market. A bit more background on myself: I graduated early from Northwestern University with a degree in Economics, along with a certificate in Integrated Marketing Communications and a Religious Studies minor. Outside of work, I sit on several Chicago-based junior boards.
