    I'm partner at Sapphire Ventures, where I invest in and support innovative growth-stage companies in SMB/vertical SaaS, fintech, and proptech. At Sapphire I'm on the board of Side, Restream, Degreed, and Collectly, and have led/am active in our investments in AvidXchange (NASDAQ: AVDX), Current, Gorgias, Mercury, Podium, Splashtop, and Tonal. Prior to Sapphire, as Trulia’s President and COO, I helped lead Trulia’s growth from a private 100-person company with $20 million in revenue, through a successful IPO, to Trulia's eventual $3.5b acquisition by Zillow, creating a company with more than 3,000 employees, $1 billion in revenue and $10b billion in market cap. I've experienced first-hand all the ups and downs of startup life, and am an empathetic supporter of CEOs as they navigate hyper-growth. Sapphire is a growth-stage VC firm with ~$10 billion under management. We invest in "companies of consequence" including Square, Transferwise, Monday.com, Docusign, Looker, LinkedIn, Segment, Auth0, Box, and 23&Me.
