What People Are Saying

 

“Called the "Cardi B of VC" by people in the industry, Jenny's electric personality is a magnet for founders, co-investors and LPs alike. She hustles for her companies like no other, and is starting to build a portfolio of game-changing businesses. I had the pleasure of working with her at Eniac, where she cut her teeth and found her passion in pre product-market-fit companies. Today, I look to co-invest with her as often as I can.”

— Nihal Mehta, Founding General Partner at Eniac Ventures

“The first word that comes to mind when I think of Jenny is “unstoppable.” I’m inspired by her boundless energy and how hard she hustles. She’s also clever, charismatic, and unapologetically real, which I deeply appreciate.”

— Arielle Zuckerberg, Partner at Coatue

“There is no one like Jenny. She is an outlier in a business built on outliers. She has a unique ability to identify when new and important markets are beginning to emerge. When she builds conviction, she moves the speed of light. Entrepreneurs are attracted to her hustle, authenticity, and differentiated perspectives.”
