Founding General Partner, True Wealth Ventures

About

Sara Brand brings an unusual combination of deep technical expertise from her mechanical engineering PhD and two decades in semiconductors, plus hands-on founder experience as co-owner of (512) Brewing Company, one of the largest self-distributing microbreweries in the U.S. She focuses on for-profit, for-good companies and applies a gender-lens investment approach backed by data showing women-led teams outperform on returns, while actively bringing high-net-worth women into VC as limited partners—resulting in True Wealth's investor base being predominantly women.
