Jessica Verrilli is a venture capital investor at GV who co-founded #ANGELS, a women-led investing collective born from her shared operator history at Twitter, where she was one of the company's earliest business leaders and helped scale it from a small startup to a global platform through corporate development and high-profile acquisitions. She brings a distinctive "builder-operator turned investor" approach that emphasizes hands-on company-building experience, communication and narrative as investing tools, and operates frequently at the intersection of technology, media, and decentralization rather than focusing solely on traditional patterns.

• Enthusiasm for AI's practical application in daily work and consumer behavior. Frequently notes personal use cases to illustrate shifts in the landscape, such as using ChatGPT to reformat unreadable websites cluttered with ads or finding non-toxic rain jackets for kids when Google Search results were unsatisfactory.
• Admiration for high-pace execution and determined founders. Highlights the intensity required to succeed, sharing an anecdote about a founder who took a call at 10:30 PM during their vacation because they were finishing checking in production code.
• A strong focus on community building and direct engagement with engineers. Actively organizes and promotes events like the Builder Breakfast Club in the Presidio to connect technical talent with founders and her investment team.
• Acute awareness of the broader market landscape and software trends. Observations include the commoditization of software making distribution a critical competitive edge, and the strategic dominance of hyperscalers like Amazon and Google capturing ownership in next-gen disruptors.
• Passion for baseball and its parallels to the tech industry. Draws comparisons between the two worlds, noting that new media formats treating Silicon Valley news like major league sports coverage feel effective and relatable.
