Mercedes Bent

Investor and operator who lives and breathes startups. Early employee / General Manager at General Assembly (sold for $412mm 2018) where I launched several product lines and drove both top line revenue and cost improvements, ultimately growing my division from $0 to $30mm+ in 2 years. In 2016, I was named a 40 Under 40 for Tech Diversity in Silicon Valley. I'm passionate about the intersection of learning, entrepreneurship and technology. I invest in the future of income, edtech, fintech, crypto, consumer social and more. My specialities include venture formation, scaling sales and product teams, building culture, managing through uncertainty and growth, identifying go-to-market, and assessing new ventures.
