About
Kimmy Scotti is a founding partner at 8VC who combines deep operating experience as a serial entrepreneur since age 15 with venture investing, having built companies including ScriptRelief (acquired by UnitedHealth) and Fig.1 skincare alongside her investment work. She uses what she calls the 3 a.m. Principle for backing founders—only leading investments in founders she'd be excited to take calls from in the middle of the night—and positions herself as an unusually hands-on partner who sits in on customer service calls and works alongside founders on day-to-day challenges rather than staying in the boardroom.
