-- INVESTING PARTNER

Solo General Partner: Robby
10 years of investing in technical founders at the earliest stages

“From the start, Robby was on Team Drata. She worked with us pre-launch and was incredibly active and helpful getting our first product to market. Robby’s network of angels and folks in the industry really helped us early on. I’d recommend her to any early stage founder looking for a game-changing partner.”

- Adam Markowitz, Co-Founder & CEO, Drata
