Gauri Jaswal stands out for treating venture investing as much like teaching as dealmaking—she writes detailed explainers on frontier-tech fundraising and semiconductor manufacturing, is known inside Overlap as its go-to person for mapping out the deep-tech landscape, and has said she once thought she'd become a physicist instead of an investor. Outside of work, she's lived as a digital nomad across places like Turkey, Mexico City, and Dubai, briefly started a travel-planning business during her travels, and draws ideas from unusually varied reading, from the economics of cancer research to how Pixar builds its creative culture.
About their Fund
Overlap Holdings is a venture capital fund founded by former Apollo Global Management Senior Partner Justin Stevens that focuses on frontier-tech companies at the intersection of scientific innovation and hardware, and rather than leading deals, it typically follows strong lead investors while adding non-dilutive financing support through its Capital Solutions arm (30+ years of structuring experience and 250+ lender relationships) and its Government Solutions arm, which offers a structured government-funding strategy led by former Pentagon industrial-base policy official Elizabeth Stockton. Its $33M first fund plans 30–35 mostly non-lead investments averaging about $700k each, backing capital-intensive companies like Impulse Space, Hadrian, Anthro Energy, Integrated Biosciences, Mendaera, Antora, Muon Space, and Starfish Space, based on the idea that frontier-tech companies need a financing strategy for their entire journey, not just capital for their next funding round.
