About Sharon Stevenson

Sharon Stevenson co-founded Okapi Venture Capital to focus specifically on the intersection of IT and healthcare, backing technologies where computing, software, and medical science converge rather than generic software plays. She brings an unusually deep scientific background for a VC—including a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, M.S. in Veterinary Pathology, and Ph.D. in Comparative Pathology—combined with senior operating experience as Senior VP at SkinMedica and President/CFO of Volcano Corporation, which she uses to rigorously evaluate what it really takes to move technologies from lab to clinic.

Okapi Venture Capital is Southern California's original seed-stage venture capital fund, created at the request of local business leaders and structurally intertwined with the region's university system and innovation infrastructure through organizations like Octane. The fund focuses on capital-efficient, multidisciplinary tech companies in underserved geographies outside the Bay Area, with partners bringing founder-to-IPO experience and Fortune 500 backgrounds who underwrite each investment on the premise that it could return the entire fund.
