Jennifer Jeronimo transitioned from a 19-year banking career at Bear Stearns and JP Morgan to venture capital, where she built Gaingels into a nearly $1 billion platform with 2,500+ portfolio companies by treating it as a scaled financial-infrastructure problem with in-house tax delivery and institutional-grade reporting for thousands of small checks. She personally designed and launched WAVE, a structured six-month program that teaches women and gender-diverse investors everything from cap tables to building investment theses, positioning herself as both an allocator and curriculum-builder growing new diverse checkwriters.
