Profile bio
About Charu Sharma
I'm a tech entrepreneur and angel investor in Silicon Valley. Most recently, I was Entrepreneur-in-Residence / seed investor at a $2.1B VC fund called Signalfire, and I'm currently working on something new. ;)I had a blast building startups from my college dorm room, working at Linkedin for a few years, building a Future of Work+AI company (scaled to clients like Splunk, Twitter, Logitech, Coca-Cola), building a healthtech API company (6M users, ~100 employees; backed by General Catalyst CEO), working with various VC funds and mentoring over 300+ startups. The best parts were the people along my journey and the personal growth they inspired in me. To pay it forward, I founded Go Against the Flow in 2013 to educate 1 million women to take risks and build their own businesses. I published a book and produced a documentary film that was screened all around the world – from the Empire State building in New York to the National Gallery of Singapore. I also produced educational documentary films such as Real Moms of Silicon Valley on working mothers (screened at 1k+ locations across 75 countries) and I Want to Believe (featuring resilient founders of Tesla, Gitlab etc.). I also enjoy giving keynotes and workshops on AI for CEO's, entrepreneurship, career growth and leadership. I've done over 600 talks and panels over the years, and hosted & spoken at 3 TEDx conferences. I especially love sharing my passion for technology, risk-taking and living a life of congruence. Some recognitions: AI entrepreneur of the year by VentureBeat, Top 10 Woman in Cloud by Sheryl Sandberg and Cloud-now, Power Woman alongside Oprah & Melinda Gates, Forbes 30 Under 30 alum. Media features: CNET, Techcrunch, Forbes, Inc, Yahoo! Finance, ABC7, Huffington Post, Venture Beat, Business Insider among others. Education: BA in Physics & Economics from Mount Holyoke College, Executive MBA from Booth School of Business at UChicago.Fun fact: In 2003, my brother and I were awarded the National Bravery Award by the Prime Minister of India for fighting with goons in a train robbery and saving lives of women, making us ‘national heroes’ overnight. I became an advocate for self-defense training for women, and went on to earn black-belts in Karate and Taekwondo, and represented India in South Korea. The education board dedicated chapters to us in the 10th grade English textbook and the 9th grade Hindi textbook in high schools in Maharashtra, India.I went to all 7 continents and wrote a travel memoir during my college years.

Go Against The Flow - Book & Documentary Film
We educated a million women around the world on starting their businesses. Young women around me were seeking traditional career paths because they did not have exposure to the entrepreneurial path or access to the right female mentors. To help solve this, we brought together audacious women entrepreneurs and founded the GO AGAINST THE FLOW movement- through our book, award-winning documentary film and Huffington Post Q&A series- to inspire other millennial women to take intelligent risks and consider building their own startup companies.
