Terri Burns

When I started my career as a computer scientist and product manager, I was hyper-focused: there was always one project, one feature, and one team I was focused on. Today as a VC, I have the unique opportunity to really go broad, and understand the greater entrepreneurial and technological market. As a person with many different interests, it’s the perfect balance for me.
