Kathy brings a builder's lens to early-stage investing, with a focus on AI infrastructure and technical buyer markets where product quality and community compound over time.
A recovering engineer turned investor, Kathy is drawn to the maturing AI stack, specifically the infrastructure layer that makes AI real in production and at scale. She gravitates toward technical buyer markets where product quality is the primary wedge and community-driven distribution compounds over time, and looks for teams building the durable primitives underneath.
Kathy grew up as the youngest of her family (which she credits for her very strong opinions about food) and went on to study Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford, where she also earned her MS in Computer Science. When she's not meeting with founders, you'll find her attempting to master her sewing machine, decorating cakes with suspicious precision, or honoring the sacred ritual of Waffle Sunday.
