911 Julia Krieger: Women in Venture Capital

Flow Vs Force: How to Innovate with Humility, Courage and Balance

Not all investors are equal, and not all money is the same. Some venture money comes with expertise and deep connections to potential team members and customers. Other venture money… is just money. Investors who have actually built companies themselves always offer more value to startups and emerging growth companies because they bring empathy, experience, and a deeper understanding of founders’ challenges.

Julia Krieger is an experienced venture investor and startup founder who has co-created an innovative new funding model with Pari Passu Venture Partners that connects entrepreneurs and investors for funding and strategic business mentoring and deals.

PariPassu is a private investor app that gives fellow founders, operators, and accredited investors access to angel investment in the most highly competitive deals in the venture ecosystem and be a part of the village that helps these founders succeed. Pari Passu is founder-led and founder-backed, and focuses on early-stage investments in the future of commerce, SaaS, and consumer tech. It has backed some 19 companies to date, bringing together founders and other accredited angel investors on deals with larger venture capital firms on hot startups they may otherwise not be able to access.

Julia shares today why it’s vital that more women founders pay it forward by investing in other women, why “it takes a village” for founders to succeed, and her advice for how to get funded.
