About

Arian Simone brings an unusual background to venture capital, having built her career as a PR and marketing entrepreneur serving major entertainment clients like Sony Pictures and Disney before becoming an angel investor and then VC, which gives her a storyteller and brand-builder perspective rather than a traditional finance background. She combines her role as a motivational author and speaker with investing, teaching founders about abundance mindset and resilience while creating hands-on pitch programs and platforms specifically designed to help women of color entrepreneurs gain visibility and funding.
