Thesis
The future is already here—it's just not evenly distributed. Now is the time to reimagine the rigid financial and enterprise systems of the past. I'm partnering with the builders who are bridging that gap.
About
Emily brings a unique perspective that spans early-stage conviction and public market rigor, having invested across every stage at Redpoint and Point72 Ventures before joining Primary. She's drawn to founders obsessed with transforming overlooked industries, and approaches every partnership with the discipline of someone who's seen companies scale from seed to IPO. Emily graduated summa cum laude from Columbia. Outside of work, she loves sci-fi, testing out hole-in-the-wall restaurants, and hunting for modern art.

Founder Testimonial
Emily understands our business at a level most investors never reach. She asks the right questions, sees around corners, and gets into the weeds when it matters. When she pushes back, I listen. If she offers you money, take it.
