In the latest episode of Skin in the Game VC, hosts Tom Wallace and Saxon Baum sit down with Jenny Friedman, the solo General Partner of Four Acres Capital, to discuss her path into venture capital, investment strategy, and what’s happening in today’s fast-moving startup world.
From Goldman Sachs to Running Her Own VC Fund, Jenny’s journey into venture capital wasn’t linear. After growing up in New York City, attending Horace Mann, and studying at Penn, she began her career in investment management at Goldman Sachs. But she quickly realized that traditional finance wasn’t for her and pivoted to the startup world, joining MiniBar Delivery, a liquor marketplace. This hands-on tech experience gave her the edge she needed to transition into venture capital.
While pursuing her MBA at Columbia Business School, Jenny networked relentlessly, eventually landing a role at ENIAC Ventures, a leading seed-stage VC firm. She later joined Supernode Ventures, where she helped raise their first institutional fund. During the pandemic, she took a leap of faith and launched Four Acres Capital as a solo GP, giving her full control over investments and fund strategy. Tune in to hear the full episode.
