About
Stacy Brown-Philpot is one of the very few Black women to have led a major Silicon Valley tech company (TaskRabbit) and then intentionally parlayed that operating experience into founding the SB Opportunity Fund, giving her an unusual combination of late-stage operating leadership and early-stage investing focused on underrepresented founders. She brings a rare combination of big-tech operating experience (Google), marketplace/gig-economy CEO experience (TaskRabbit), and multi-board leadership (e.g., Nordstrom, HP, StockX) into her investing, giving her a perspective that spans consumer marketplaces, brand, retail, and enterprise technology in a way that is not typical for most early-stage VCs.
