Feeling extremely grateful for the opportunity to attend Kauffman Fellows Summit in Montréal this week. The best part was seeing and connecting with so many KF25-ers, a group of incredibly interesting, smart & entertaining leaders in #venture who I am privileged to call friends.


Thanks to Milwaukee Tool & NVNG Investment Advisors for ensuring #VentureNorth2024 was full of collaboration, networking & Midwestern appeal. Loved the Steven Simoni keynote & seeing Gig and Take on a panel about future-proofing talent. Great to catch up with Ironspring Ventures & other VC friends!



Thrilled to have been selected to join Recast Capital's Accelerate Program, which will help Iron Prairie Ventures achieve operational excellence & network w/ some of the most compelling #emergingmanagers in the market. A total game-changer! #venture #womeninvc prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

Though innovation in #industrialtech is rapidly changing, it's long been under the radar for many #venture firms. Now, shifts in early-stage #investing are happening & I'm thrilled to share more about them at BuiltWorlds Venture East event. Come network & exchange ideas with us!


Had a blast participating in a panel discussion at #SFTechWeek about #automation, #Al, #hardtech & other key trends both small & large #VCs are paying attention to. Thanks to my #IndustryBloc co-pilots Amber Illig and Scott Howard for another terrific event! Watch video highlights➡️

This is it. America’s industrial backbone is being rebuilt & I’m beyond grateful to be part of the #transformation by supporting founders tackling the hardest problems. Thx to Venture Capital Journal for sharing the story & my team/LPs/advisors/partners for helping me cont. to turn the page!

From our exclusive in Venture Capital Journal to hits in Axios Pro Deals & The Wall Street Journal, our fund launch has been captured & shared across the industry & beyond. Thank you to our network for sharing in our passion for #industrialtech, believing in the vision & being willing to help us capture it.



Talk of how #tariffs and the changing economic landscape is reshaping the evolution of #technology and the push for greater investment in U.S. #industrialtech is everywhere. But what does it mean for founders and funders? Find out at StartupNWA's #VCImmersions next week!



At REINDUSTRIALIZE SUMMIT, the message across sectors (#manufacturing, #defense, #logistics, #energy, #infrastructure) was clear: Industrial capacity is not just economic infrastructure, it’s geopolitical leverage. Grateful to be in the room & proud Iron Prairie Ventures is part of the rebuild.
