Jill Chase brings unusual hands-on operating experience as a former founder and CEO to her growth-stage investing at CapitalG, where she spends significant time inside portfolio companies working on practical challenges like building AI product roadmaps and helping re-architect go-to-market strategies. She has established herself as a specialist in applied AI for traditional and regulated industries, serving as a public translator between cutting-edge AI research and pragmatic enterprise adoption while building a visible niche as a thought partner to technical founders on infrastructure questions that most growth-stage investors don't address in public forums.
