Eva Ho, General Partner, Fika Ventures, “My Path to becoming an early stage tech focused Venture Capitalist”
Our guest for today’s podcast is Eva Ho, General Partner of Fika Ventures, an early stage venture capital firm that invests in founders solving meaningful, systemic problems through the use of data, related AI-enabled technologies, and automation. While this horizontal thesis allows Fika Ventures to be fairly sector agnostic, the firm is especially drawn to innovations in enterprise software, fintech, marketplaces, and digital health. Fika is investing out of their Fund III and has committed capital of over $300 million life to date. Prior to Fika, Eva was a founding GP at Susa Ventures. She is a serial entrepreneur and founder, most recently a founding executive at Factual, a leading location data provider in Los Angeles. Prior, she was a Senior Product Marketing Manager at Google and Youtube for 5 years. Prior to Google, she was the head of marketing for Applied Semantics, a company that sold to Google in 2003. Eva holds an MBA from Cornell and a BA from Harvard. Eva also graduated from one of the top high schools in the country, Boston Latin School. And for those listeners who know me, I am biased as that is my high school. In fact, Eva and I were high school classmates and we took many of the same AP classes together back in the day! So, how does one get their start to becoming a great venture capitalist? There isn’t a clear answer, but I know our listeners will get a lot from this interview. Without further ado, here is our conversation with Eva Ho.
