How do you like to work with and support founders?
GABBY — I try to be a thought partner. That means helping founders make decisions that feel right to them, but that they might not have the time or space to arrive at on their own. When you’re building a business, having that zoomed-out perspective or even just different data points you hadn’t considered can be helpful. I also think a big part of the job is providing access to a broader network so that even if a founder has a five-person team, they feel like they have a team of hundreds behind them. I’m always looking for ways to connect founders with the right people and resources while freeing them to focus and keep the main thing the main thing.
You’re a long-distance runner. What lessons has that taught you?
GABBY — When you’re training for marathons, you learn quickly that it’s not about race day; it’s about the other 364 days a year that aren’t race days. You have to show up every day, and you have to love the process. I use running to engineer discipline in my life. It gives my days structure and consistency. It doesn’t matter if I’m traveling; I’m a Strava power user with many saved running paths for when I visit Paris, London, and New York. As long as my sneakers are packed, I’m good to go.
What types of opportunities are you looking to invest in?
GABBY — Consumer tech is a big one for me. Anything with the potential to make people’s daily lives better, whether it’s eating, commuting, being more productive at work, supporting our families, or engaging in our communities—I’m interested in how we can do all the things we need to do to feel good as humans but with more efficiency and delight. Right now is an exciting time because we’re starting to see how AI can enhance the modern consumer experience, from the most mundane to the most fun tasks. I want to be a part of that.
