It was also very important to me that I join a mission-oriented team with a self-transcendent purpose, beyond “making venture returns.” The fund managers and the network of Venture Partners at OVF are some of the most accomplished yet humble people I have ever met; I am excited to bring my experience to this community, and even more eager to learn from it. I’ll just put it out there that I am also obsessed with all the Douglas firs in this beautiful state!”
