Bio

Investor and biz builder. Been around the block with 130+ companies through both equity and non-equity investing. Today: Managing Partner of RevUp Capital. Focused on innovating the capital toolkit for startups and improving the experience of founders.

Then: Grew up in world of life sciences, found my way to Econ Dev, became a founder. Made my way to professional investing about a decade ago.

I care about company storytelling, racial, gender and socioeconomic justice in entrepreneurship and gin drinks. Most mentoring in the C-Suite with women founders and those who come into entrepreneurship from outside networks of privilege. Outdoorsy 4 life. Good with a microphone, terrible on roller skates.
