Jennifer McCloskey at Swisscom Ventures brings an unusually policy-aware lens to venture capital, having studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford and worked with the Grameen Foundation in Uganda before helping build what became Lightrock as impact investing represented just 1% of VC deal flow. She advocates for a resilience-first investment approach that looks beyond sustainability headlines to find business models with durable economics, while publicly emphasizing that being explicit about what you don't know is critical for better decision-making in both investment committees and founder relationships.
