Farah Daou

Associate, Moonshots Capital

About

Farah Daou brings an unusual operator background to venture capital, having founded and run a vegan bakery in Los Angeles before moving into investment banking and then VC, giving her hands-on founder experience across both Main Street and high-growth startup contexts. She stands out at Moonshots Capital for publicly sharing detailed, step-by-step frameworks on networking tactics for junior VCs and actively building community-driven networks with an emphasis on underrepresented groups, reflecting a give-first, service-oriented approach to venture networking rather than transactional outreach.
