Happy Women's History Month! Before introducing this week's guest, we want to take a moment to honor all the women before us and today who have improved our society and lives. We would not be where we are today without them! We begin our celebrations by welcoming Zoe Brewer on the Girls Into VC podcast!
Zoe is an investor at Stripes, a VC/Growth Equity Firm based in New York City investing in companies like Monday.com, A24, Dataiku, On Running, and more. Prior to investing, she served as a 0-to-1 product manager at two mission-driven startups: Clair, a neo-bank combatting payday loans, and Vial, a biotech enabling next-generation clinical trials. She graduated from Harvard University with a B.A. in Government, focusing on emerging technology regulation.
We enjoyed hearing Zoe share her story of how she explored finance and venture capital in college after coming in with little background about the fields from high school. Her story reassures us that it is never too late to start pursuing our interests, no matter how unique they are! She also shares advice for young women facing impostor syndrome and those who are unsure about their future career paths.
Thank you for listening to this week’s episode, and be sure to tune into our next episode highlighting a new guest in the field!
