Sharon Stevenson co-founded Okapi Venture Capital to focus specifically on the intersection of IT and healthcare, backing technologies where computing, software, and medical science converge rather than generic software plays. She brings an unusually deep scientific background for a VC—including a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, M.S. in Veterinary Pathology, and Ph.D. in Comparative Pathology—combined with senior operating experience as Senior VP at SkinMedica and President/CFO of Volcano Corporation, which she uses to rigorously evaluate what it really takes to move technologies from lab to clinic.
