Note: I'm at LinkedIn’s imposed limit for accepting connections and my inbox here is completely overrun! Therefore, please email me directly if you'd like to get in touch with me, messages left on LI will, unfortunately, not be read. Thanks - Heidi Hello! I'm a venture capitalist, corporate director and ‘recovering’ entrepreneur. I'm a partner at Threshold Ventures as well as being a corporate director for Planet PBC (NYSE:PL), Upside Foods and Tia. I also lead Stanford’s Threshold Venture Fellows Program in the Management Science and Engineering department and also serve on the Advisory Council for the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. I started my career as co-founder of software company T/Maker and served as its CEO for over a dozen years until its acquisition by Deluxe Corporation. After a year as VP of Worldwide Developer Relations at Apple, I then became a venture capitalist in 1999. I have undergraduate and MBA degrees from Stanford and am the proud mother of two kids and two rescue dogs. I love working with entrepreneurs and executives to build great companies. I love doing things with a creative flair. I also truly enjoy the role of corporate governance.
