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.
Alex: The Ali Forney Center addresses homelessness, food insecurity, poverty, medical/mental health and educational needs for homeless youth. Overall, we address the fight for equality, responding to the byproducts of hate, homophobia, and transphobia.
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.
