Kelly O'Connell

Managing Partner, 360 Venture Collective

Kelly O'Connell grew up in public housing and explicitly frames her venture investing as a way to back founders who share similar lived experiences, noting that very few check-writers have stories like hers or come from where she came from. She asks founders to commit to building intentionally inclusive companies and uses adherence to UN Sustainable Development Goals as a formal screen, while also structuring her fund's LP base to include more women and historically underrepresented investors.
