Linnea Conrad Roberts transitioned from a Goldman Sachs partnership to founding GingerBread Capital, naming her firm after her mother Ginger Conrad who championed minority business ownership in the 1990s and connecting her investing focus on women founders to that family legacy. She publicly sets specific portfolio metrics for capital allocation to women of color and Black and Latinx founders while positioning herself as both a venture investor and a guide helping other women become investors themselves, working to build what she calls an old girls' network of capital allocators.
