***Hi, I’m @galeforceVC! 👋***
I invest in early stage B2B + WorkTech startups at VITALIZE.
I am democratizing access to angel investing with VITALIZE Angels, the world’s largest angel group for both accredited and non-accredited investors.
I’m a Board member at Chicago:Blend, a NFP dedicated to increasing diversity in tech & VC.
I’m a Kauffman Fellow in Class 23.
I am in the OnDeck, Recast, and Oper8r networks.
I live in Chicago and Nashville with my husband and two dogs.

After graduating with a degree in marketing, I consulted CPG companies on new product launches. I then worked at Orbitz in their strategy team. I started a business that I bootstrapped on nights and weekends. It failed. I started my second business while at Booth. It failed too. I started an angel network in 2012 and VITALIZE Fund I in 2017 and have since invested in 100+ companies, deploying over $70M in capital.
