Hey there 👋 I’m an entrepreneur, operator, investor, advisor, and community connector. I am currently in NYC pursuing my MBA at Columbia, looking to weave my operational experience with the opportunity to fund the next gen of founders through venture capital. I am an Investor at Draper Associates VC, where I focus on funding the next generation of innovators across healthcare, biotech, and beyond.I had kicked off this VC journey at SOSV - IndieBio NY to fund and develop the next-generation of deep tech founders focused on human & planetary health.At Switch, I was an Advisor to the exec team and I loved the concept & team so much, I avidly joined more hands-on as a Director to revolutionize group payments / spending for the next generation. As the Head of Community Growth at Outpace, I brought together ambitious people to supercharge their success at work through guided sprints & 1:1 guidance from experienced coaches. Prior to Switch & Outpace, I worked at On Deck, building out the longevity biotech arm and special projects.Before these opportunities, I was a founder myself! My Co-founder, Ravina Anand, and I built FLIK, a community connecting female leaders with learners worldwide through career experiences, that was acquired by Rumor Avenue in October 2021. We launched FLIK to merge the gap between female founders looking for helping hands on their businesses and female students looking for mentorship. It was truly a life-changing journey to build out a community of 15,000+ early-stage founders and ambitious women - one day I'll find my way to being a founder again.👋 Say hello! I’m always excited to connect with mission-aligned founders, investors, and operators.🎤 Hosting a startup event? I've spoken at 100+ events on startups, women's empowerment, and unconventional career paths and been featured in publications like Forbes, The Hustle, and more. And I love to host Founder & VC events myself!🚀 Looking to join any of the programs I’ve been a part of? Happy to connect about my experiences as an alum of NEXT 36, League of Innovators, the Entrepreneurship Hub University of British Columbia, Startup Edmonton, and UNLEASH.
