Venture Capital Coaches

I bring over 8 years of comprehensive venture capital, operations, and investment experience across multiple stages and sectors. As a Venture Associate at Rethink Impact, I was team member number four, so I understand the ins and outs of what is required to build and run a venture capital firm, from due diligence to writing investment memos, building cap tables, deal sourcing, fundraising, and portfolio construction. I currently serve on the Investment Committee for Resilient Ventures where I continue to evaluate and invest in early-stage technology companies. With dual Harvard graduate degrees (MBA and Public Policy) and experience as Chief of Staff at a venture-backed fintech company, I understand both the investor and entrepreneur perspectives. I've personally navigated career transitions within the VC ecosystem and can provide practical guidance on breaking into the industry, advancing within firms, and building the skills that matter most to investment committees and senior partners.

Landed jobs and internships at top funds like Norwest, Floodgate, and Summit Partners. Have coached fellow students on breaking into the industry. Worked in the space for 2 years, ultimately pursued a full-time job operating due to fund economics at the junior levels. Can speak to breaking in but also thinking about building a long-term career in the space. I now work with emerging fund managers on fund launch strategy, and angel invest in ~5-10 companies a year.
