Episode 86 is with Claire Rafson, Investor at Eniac Ventures!
Based out of Eniac’s New York office, Claire is passionate about democratizing access to capital, making essential services like FinTech and health care more accessible, and embedding ESG (environmental, social, and governance) principles into companies.
Eniac Ventures leads seed rounds in bold founders who use code to create transformational companies. Armed with over 80 years of combined experience building their own companies, Eniac does more than just provide capital. They provide a platform through an expansive network with a strong belief in community at the heart of their investment approach.
We talk to Claire about her journey into VC. She details her day to day as an investor, what Eniac looks for in transformational founders, and how they’re pushing the bar on democratizing access to capital.
