I wear a few hats at Chicago Ventures. But let's start with a bit about who we are:CV is an early stage venture firm that leads seed stage investments outside of Silicon Valley. We believe that enduring companies can be built anywhere, and have made nearly 100 investments that validate that our thesis is playing out. Check out our portfolio companies here: http://chicagoventures.com/portfolio/We have dedicated resources over the past 7 years to operationally support the companies we invest in - this is what we call Platform, or "post-investment," and is where I come in. I work with CV's portfolio companies on areas like matchmaking talent; connecting into customers; marketing, communication and PR; and building community, content, and events to help scale up and skill up more efficiently.Outside of Platform, I also own Investor Relations, and our Marketing, Communications and Brand.In 2018 I launched the non-profit Chicago:Blend, a collaborative effort of venture capitalists in Chicago who know that diverse teams and inclusive environments are critical foundations for both the startups we invest in and our own venture firms.I'm also a Kauffman Fellow Class 23; and serve as a Governing Board member at Lookingglass Theatre [a Tony-award winning theatre that focuses on the spectacular and the physical].I started swimming when I was 5 and got hooked on triathlons in 2012.
