Hi, I’m Christa.

I’m a venture capital investor at Cherryrock Capital. We make Series A and Series B investments in software companies.

Prior to venture capital, I spent years in finance in investment banking and equity research. That was after receiving my MBA and long after working in the news industry and building a small startup of my own.

Today, I invest in brilliant founders who often find themselves underestimated, like I once did…and sometimes still do.

Occasionally, I write about how I think about investing. You can find more on LinkedIn.

Select companies and funds I’ve invested in.

Coactive AI, Vitable Health, Flume, Stackshare, Rheaply, Wonderschool, Benchstrength Fund I, Collide Capital Fund I, Westbound Equity Partners Fund II, Precursor Ventures Fund IV, Ulu Ventures Fund IV.
