"Growing up, I wanted to be an actress and an astronaut. I guess ending up in VC makes sense because it sits perfectly at the intersection of art and science. For a start-up to be successful, the boldness and originality of founders needs to be reinforced with a data-validated product-market fit. Working with founders who use tech to bring their imagination to life is a pretty exciting day job."
