Kristina Simmons built Overwater Ventures' $20M debut fund as a solo GP while pregnant, using unconventional methods like sending curated Spotify playlists to potential investors as prep docs and conducting founder diligence through audio-only calls with nonlinear questions, working sessions, and even pitching while climbing mountains. She integrates holistic founder support into her investment model, offering portfolio companies services like virtual workout classes and mental health access, while bridging technical innovation with consumer brand-building for biotech and AI startups in areas like fertility and brain health.
