Julie: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! I'm an investor with 2048 Ventures, where we work with early-stage startups, especially those that are differentiated and defensible through data and technology. Our firm invests in all types of technologies. I work mostly with biotech and digital health startups. I love working with founders. We meet with our founders regularly to provide mentorship, suggestions, and see where we can help solve problems.
Martin: Happy to be with you, Spiffy! In my work, I lead a team of seven communications specialists to promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our challenges include how to communicate the SDGs to people in an exciting way and get them to understand that each of us has a role to play in helping the SDGs succeed. People taking action is our main focus, and we do that by developing key messages that will help drive our campaigns. We identify ways to do this via special events, social media, and engagement of partners all around the world. Our work is multilingual, and we brief partners on how to use all our assets for their own means, allowing them to customize them to fit their audience. If the message resonates and inspires people, there is no limit to what we can achieve together.
Meagan: Glad to be with you, Spiffy! Gen Z VCs is a collective of 17,000+ young venture capitalists (VCs), angel investors, founders, startup enthusiasts, and aspiring VCs. The community and now movement strives to make venture capital (VC) more transparent and welcoming for the next generation of investors through several initiatives. We serve as the central place where young people in venture capital can collaborate, connect Gen Z founders with like-minded young investors, and elevate the Gen Z perspective and voices.
