About
Deborah Buresh Jackson is a former Goldman Sachs investment banker who deliberately disrupted her own career multiple times, leaving Wall Street to start a boutique firm and later reinventing herself as a tech entrepreneur, and who views herself as a builder of institutions for those historically excluded from capital flows, explicitly modeling women-led venture platforms on how early Jewish-founded Wall Street firms emerged to solve discrimination in finance.
