Jackie from Airtree on tech

Michael Frazis

Frazis Capital

Jackie Vullinghs joined us to talk VC opportunities and tech valuations, available on iTunes and Spotify

Jackie Vullinghs read history at Magdalene College, Cambridge, where she was awarded a first class degree (and more than one university blue), before starting her professional career in equity derivatives in London. After a stint as chief of staff for a UK startup, Jackie moved to Australia and is currently a Principal at Airtree Ventures. I highly recommend Jackie's very well-written substack
