I’m very pleased to announce that Dorothy Ren has joined the investment team at NextView!

Dorothy will be based in our New York office and will be focused on expanding our relationships with high-potential founders and operators in the New York startup community. Dorothy joins us most recently from Spark Capital, where she had the opportunity to apprentice with some of the best investors in the business and work closely with founders in a broad range of sectors, including fintech, next-gen transportation, and some other areas that overlap nicely with our Everyday Economy theme.

As a firm, we believe deeply in being high-conviction, hands-on investors. This means that we need to commit our time and energy on the ground to get to know founders or potential founders early in their journeys, and be positive contributors to the entrepreneurial ecosystem that we are a part of. We’re very excited for the way Dorothy will help us push this forward, and are confident that founders and co-investors will love her fresh, independent thinking and authenticity.

You can follow Dorothy on Twitter @dorothyxren, on Medium @dren or send her a note at dorothy@nextviewventures.com.

Welcome aboard Dorothy!
