Women & Wine Wednesdays - Collaborative Networking

Barbara Russell, SM '77 will have a conversation with us about how to de-risk investing in startups, as well as powerful advice for early-stage, tech-enabled companies and strategic advice to maximize the ability to scale. She co-founded Cap W – an Advisory/investment Banking firm focused on early/mid-stage tech-enabled companies, characterized by strong female and/or POC founders & teams, solving BIG problems with massive market opportunities. In her role as Managing Partner, she strives to advance the ability of tech-based companies, with her focus on AI/ML, blockchain/DLT, clean-tech and fin-tech, to succeed through their model of investing and providing strategic advice that maximizes the ability of these companies to scale via targeted fundraising from optimal and inclusive strategic, venture, and other capital sources. Barbara and her team (which she heads) have advised, invested in, and raised over $200 million of capital for 17 companies since 2015.
