Daring to Be Different: An Exclusive Conversation with Ann Miura-Ko ’98
Join Accelerate Yale for a conversation with Ann Miura-Ko '98, Co-Founding Partner, Floodgate, in honor of Women's History Month. She will explore her unconventional path into venture capital and discuss her uncanny ability to identify successful startups.
Ann is a repeat member of the Forbes Midas List and the New York Times Top 20 Venture Capitalists Worldwide, Ann was also named the “Most Powerful Woman in Startups” by Forbes.
Ann is well-known in Silicon Valley as a pioneer investor in highly technical companies. Her deep interest in technology began as a child, and her expertise developed as an undergraduate at Yale, where she participated in the Robocup Competition in Paris, France. Ann has also made significant investments in consumer (commerce, curation), marketplaces, and software for SMBs and solopreneurs. Some of Ann’s investments include Lyft (where she is still a board member), Xamarin, Monthly, Popshop, Emotive, and Refinery29.
Ann is also a lecturer in entrepreneurship at Stanford, a co-director of the Mayfield Fellows Program at Stanford, a member of the Board of Trustees for Yale University and a co-founding member of All Raise, a nonprofit committed to improving diversity in funders and founders.
