About Brigette Lau
Brigette Lau is a founding partner at Firework Ventures, an early-stage venture firm she co-founded with Ashley Bittner to back human-centered future-of-work companies. She led Firework's investment in the 12 million dollar Series A of Stride Funding, an education-finance company building study-now-pay-later products, one of two Stride rounds led by women investors. Earlier in her career she co-founded the venture firm Social Capital in 2011. Lau has said Firework views study-now-pay-later products as the future of educational funding because they provide downside protection to students while aligning the incentives of schools and investors with student outcomes.
