2018
Built seed-stage venture fund, Green Cow Venture Capital, from the ground up. The fund's thesis centers around building a resilient portfolio by investing in diverse founding teams leveraging AI & Robotics to solve problems in foundational industries from farming to finance. Green Cow Venture Capital ranks in the top decile for 2018 vintage fund by DPI (.81) with two exits - including John Deere's $250M acquisition of Bear Flag Robotics. I actively manage the remaining seven portfolio companies, including holding a board seat on CloudAdmin.

Drinks with a VC interviews venture capitalists in a lighthearted yet intimate setting, going deep into childhood, mentors, philosophy, with an attempt to understand they why behind their investing. If you're a startup, VC, LP, or just love startup ecosystem culture, grab a drink and join Bree and Vik for fun, friends, and five questions. Cheers!
