I navigated the transition from ops and engineering in venture-backed startups to invest at Antler. I had the chance to work across a few different funds in the process of my pivot, and as a result I gained a broad perspective of the VC ecosystem and how to break through the common barriers. I am passionate about helping aspiring VCs and founders navigate the complexities of the industry. Let's connect to discuss how I can support your journey into venture capital!
