Julie Castro Adams brings a distinctive background rooted in gender and racial justice activism, having spent most of her career building women-owned companies and economic power for women rather than entering venture from traditional finance or tech tracks. She positions herself as both an investor and board architect, deliberately building diverse boards while treating getting women into VC as a movement with quantified goals like bringing 10,000 more women into the venture ecosystem.
