        Manages the fund and invests

        As a Latina emerging manager and general partner at Ganas Ventures, I always want to work with or invest in community-driven founders, funders, and friends. I have a strong track record with 15 years of experience in the Silicon Valley ecosystem. I have sold over $70 million in tech products and services, made over 90 investments as an angel investor and venture capitalist with Backstage Capital, Lightspeed, and The Community Fund, and had 3 successful exits from my portfolio.

        Forbes, Inc Magazine, Nasdaq, and others acknowledge my efforts in advocating investment in founders who are underestimated and undervalued. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Southern California and earned my MBA from the IE Business School.

        In addition to my professional accomplishments, I am a dedicated community builder with a group of more than 76,000 founders, funders, and ecosystem friends. And I want to back founders who care about the community, invite LPs into the Ganas Ventures family, and build wealth in the community that will last for generations.
