Linnea Conrad Roberts transitioned from a Goldman Sachs partnership to founding GingerBread Capital, naming her firm after her mother Ginger Conrad who championed minority business ownership in the 1990s and connecting her investing focus on women founders to that family legacy. She publicly sets specific portfolio metrics for capital allocation to women of color and Black and Latinx founders while positioning herself as both a venture investor and a guide helping other women become investors themselves, working to build what she calls an old girls' network of capital allocators.

Notable Investments
GingerBread Capital is a $50 million fund that operates as a women-investing-in-women platform, not only backing female founders but also building networks of high-net-worth women as check-writers and serving as an LP in 25+ emerging funds led by women and underrepresented managers. The fund positions "betting on women" as a contrarian alpha thesis rather than philanthropy, arguing that women-led companies are often stronger due to being hardened by underfunding, while systematically teaching women how to become investors themselves through content that tackles barriers like risk aversion.
