Jocelyn Kinsey came into venture through building founder-support systems, having helped start StartX while at Stanford and later taking on active fundraising and relationship-building work at DFJ Growth, and she says one of the most telling questions to ask a founder is why they're building their company in the first place, looking for the lasting infrastructure behind trends like crypto and gaming rather than the hype itself. Her investments span very different fields, from consumer products like Giphy and Patreon to healthcare robotics and, more recently, defense tech companies like Vannevar Labs, where she talks openly about how deals are won through things like government relationships and lobbying rather than technology alone, and she's also been involved for years in women's professional networks like 85 Broads and All Raise.
