FFC Co-Founder and CEO Alison Koplar Wyatt is sitting down with Lux Capital’s Deena Shakir to discuss her a-linear path to VC, championing women’s health startups, and how she’s quickly risen to become one of the few Arab-American women in VC.
A VC daughter of immigrants says she’s deliberately investing in diverse and intersectional entrepreneurs, who embody unique, winning qualities. Deena Shakir is a Partner at Lux Capital (a multi-stage venture capital firm with $4B under management), where she invests in transformative technologies improving lives and livelihoods.
She is particularly interested in contrarian and underdog founders building ambitious companies in digital health and sits on the boards of companies including Maven Clinic, SteadyMD, Alife Health, H1, Adyn, AllStripes, and Shiru.
