Kathryn Schox came into venture investing through cultural anthropology and education rather than finance, and she shaped Trucks Venture Capital’s focus on making transportation decarbonized, safer, and more accessible, with a particular interest in overlooked areas like vehicle maintenance and options for people who can’t afford cars or lack good transit. She also created Schox Philanthropy, a system that turns startup equity into funding for Bay Area charities, reflecting a career that blends business experience—including running operations as a COO—with a strong focus on helping people who need it most.
