It reminds me that education includes lots of curiosity, critical thinking and learning from past experiences and real-world challenges.

Why GSV?

I love Greater Sum Ventures because of the tight-knit, mission-driven team that really rolls up their sleeves to support founders. From my experience, early-stage startups benefit so much from hands-on partners who are involved in helping them grow and navigate challenges. Being part of a team that’s active, collaborative, and focused on building strong companies feels like a perfect fit for how I like to work and where I can add the most value.
