Stories from Emma Entrepreneurs: Amy Salzhauer (1993), Founder and Managing Partner at Good Growth Capital
6:00pm – Online, via Zoom
Amy Salzhauer (1993) is Founder and Managing Partner at Good Growth Capital, a majority women-owned venture capital fund that is one of the top-performing funds in the United States. Good Growth Capital finds, funds, and grows superior, defensible technology companies that fill pressing societal needs, creating portfolios that meet impact and workplace diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) metrics while still investing for the highest possible return. Amy was previously the CEO of Ignition Ventures, where she helped start companies worth over US $1 billion out of science labs in areas such as chip-based fuel cells, self-organising networks, selective brain cooling and advanced materials.
Amy has written for magazines like Newsweek, Science, Technology Review, and Harvard Business Review and served as the Assistant Director of a non-profit environmental organisation in Washington D.C. Her recognitions include being selected by the World Economic Forum as one of its one hundred top “Global Leaders for Tomorrow," and being chosen multiple times as a top ‘40 Under 40’ business leader. Amy holds an MBA from MIT; an MPhil in Plant Sciences from Emma, where she was a Herschel Smith Harvard Scholar; and an A.B. magna cum laude from Harvard University.
