Our Team

I love seeing such passionate, engaging, brilliant minds working to solve some of the world's biggest problems. I love that each person can take something they're interested in—from the environment to medicine to computers to so much more—and use technology to find innovative solutions to everything you can imagine.

If I wasn't a tech lawyer, I'd either be a doctor or a primary school teacher. I love science and medicine – I worked in clinical research for years before law school. Teaching/mentoring is another huge passion of mine and I volunteer regularly teaching English as a foreign language. I'm honestly not sure how I'd choose between the two.

My ideal weekend would consist of getting coffee and pastries with my husband and taking our two adorable rescue dogs to the park, binging a new tv show, seeing friends or family (especially our cute nieces and nephews), reading a good book, and cooking a good homemade dinner. It's the simple things for me.

The best advice I've ever received was from a mentor when I was a young lawyer. He told me that we should always, no matter what, view the glass as half full and not half empty. Optimism is contagious in every aspect of our lives and so very important for entrepreneurship. It strikes me that the best entrepreneurs and investors have this uncanny ability to be realists and optimists at the same time.

I've always thought of myself as an entrepreneur, but I never had the risk tolerance early in my career to make the leap my clients make. I draw inspiration from the incredible entrepreneurs I work with every day who were able to take that leap of faith, and also the sharp, sophisticated and talented investors who support them. My life may not have taken me to a place where I could grow one or two big ideas. Instead, I get to play a small role in the growth of hundreds of great ideas.

Out of high school I was heading full steam ahead towards a major in physics before making an enormous life pivot early on in my college career at Middlebury. I still love math and physics. I enjoy applying those skills to complex cap tables and funds flows.

Any weekend is pretty great when I'm with my family ski touring or riding our bicycles. If I can throw in an early morning gravel bike ride, it's perfection.

I believe in the power of relationships to solve problems and the democratization of access and agency. Both drive the innovation economy. Partnering with founders and investors to not only create, but help deliver change on a global scale, inspires me every day.

The people around me. We operate in a whirlwind of an ecosystem that changes daily, but there is always a human element to the work we do. The power of relationships is what it is all about.

Never stop being curious and ask the real questions. Control what you can and acknowledge what you cannot, but do not let it control you.

I’d have to pick two, but they go hand in hand. Do less, better. And have more fun!

The constant drive to push boundaries and create new systems that re-define industries is incredible.

Family and friends who challenge me to be my best self.
