We’re one day late, because let’s be honest, we were too busy celebrating the rock of our team, Danielle Blount! 🪨 Danielle leads all day-to-day functions of BOLD Ventures, overseeing opportunity intake, fund operations, portfolio company meetings, and is one of the best strategists in the space. 👩🏻💻 Danielle is also an avid Buffalo Bills fan (and all things Buffalo if we’re honest!) and is a dog mom extraordinaire to Lily and Lando. 🐶🐶 Danielle is the true politician on our team, seeing connectivity in our thesis to what’s unfolding in the marketplace, connecting the dots like no one else can, and without her, our outcomes would not be half of what they are today! 📈 As part of our diverse team, Danielle represents House Ravenclaw. 🦅 Join us in giving D$, our anchor, a belated Happy Birthday shoutout! ⚓️
