Terri Burns made history in 2020 by becoming the first Black female and youngest-ever partner at GV. Now, she is launching her own VC firm, Type Capital, to support undiscovered founders in sectors like AI and digital consumer companies. She aims to change the status quo of VC investing by distributing checks early on and focusing on true innovation rather than following the heat of other investors.
Burns is currently building her team and searching for Gen Z founders to support in securing follow-on investments. She is passionate about backing founders in sectors like artificial intelligence, digital consumer companies, and software development tools. With Type Capital, Burns hopes to move quickly, efficiently, and focus on collaboration and respect from founders.
