Hi Everyone!I’m an active angel investor in early stage tech companies, and have been for the last nine years. Previously I was a Managing Director at 137 Ventures, a later-stage VC firm that specializes in structured secondary transactions. Prior to that, I was a partner at Andreessen Horowitz and an early employee at Twitter, where I had the opportunity to start the Corporate Development and Product Marketing teams and also focus on the corporate culture. I started my VC career nearly twenty years ago at Menlo Ventures and then Institutional Venture Partners. I have an MS in Management Science and Engineering and a BA in Economics from Stanford. I absolutely love connecting people across a variety of industries, interests, experiences, and more.I’m also a mother of 3 high-energy, super-fun kids. Matthew is 5 and Kate and Alex (twins!) are 3. To keep sane, I’m an ultra-marathon runner. My best ideas, friend-time, and conversations seem to happen out on the trails. I even met my incredible husband, Kevin, in grad-school at Stanford while we were both on the triathlon team.As far as the right-side of my brain goes, 15 years ago, I was given my first letterpress-printed business card, and I seemed to catch the bug for the historic craft of letterpress printing. Thirteen years ago, I founded Paperwheel, a custom letterpress and design studio nestled in Portola Valley, California. Fun fact, I think I may be the only angel investor that also prints custom logo stationery for each investment I do.Ask me anything about becoming an investor, evaluating early stage startups, working on a passion project, being a working mom, doing LEGOs, long-distance running, or anything else!p.s. If you’d like to contact me one on one, I’m @elizabeth on Instagram and Twitter
