Managing Director, Copper Wire Ventures

About

Jessica Millstone brings 25+ years as an edtech practitioner—from teacher to professor to product lead at BrainPOP—and now applies that operating expertise as an investor at Copper Wire Ventures, focusing on game-based learning and women-led startups. Beyond direct investing, she takes an unusual approach by also investing as an LP in larger funds to push them toward more diverse cap tables, while co-organizing the 9,000+ member NYEdTech Meetup and helping women shift from philanthropic to investor mindsets.
