Investment Stage
Description

Jesse Draper is a fourth-generation venture capitalist who built her career through an unconventional path as an actress and creator of the Emmy-nominated tech talk show "The Valley Girl Show," where she interviewed major founders like Elon Musk and Mark Cuban before entering venture capital. She focuses on investing in women-led companies after realizing during her show that she struggled to find female founders to interview, positioning this as a business opportunity rather than charity while integrating her identity as a mother of three boys into her investment approach.
