Jill Greenberg

Big ups to Jill Greenberg, she’s the real deal in the VC game, and her story is straight-up inspiring. So, she’s a YC alum from S17, which already shows she’s got that startup hustle in her bones. But what’s crazy is her process, she’s been all over the place, crushing it in both startups and big finance.

She started out with a solid foundation at Williams College, where she majored in econ and psych, and was captain of the women’s basketball team, talk about leadership and grit from day one. After college, she jumped into the consulting world at EY-Parthenon, getting those sharp skills in strategy and data.

Then she took a big leap into entrepreneurship, cofounding Nimble, a YC S17 company. That’s where she really started to prove she’s got the startup DNA. Before that, she was CEO of Interlaced, a private equity-backed business, so she’s got that mix of running companies and understanding what it takes to scale.

Her next move? She jumped into the investing world, joining Alpine Investors as an Operating Exec and even CEO of one of their portfolio companies. Basically, she’s seen the startup world from every angle, building, running, and now investing. That’s where she’s really been able to connect the dots: understanding what founders need, how to spot the future trend, and how to back it with real conviction.

Fast forward, she’s now a VP at CapitalG (Google’s growth fund), where she’s deep into enterprise tech, AI/ML, and data infrastructure, the hottest stuff right now. She’s led investments in companies like Rippling, Abridge, and some other cool startups, always looking for the next tech that’s gonna change the game.

And on top of all that, she’s also a guest lecturer at Stanford GSB, sharing her wisdom with the next gen of founders and investors. She’s based in the Bay Area, raising a family, so she’s got that hustle and balance thing down.

Bottom line? Jill’s story is about someone who’s been in the trenches, from startup founder to CEO to VC, and she’s got that rare mix of operational smarts and investment instinct. She’s not just talking tech, she’s living it, and she’s out here shaping the future of AI and enterprise software. No cap, she’s one of those people you wanna watch because she’s got the experience, the connections, and the vision to spot what’s next before anyone else even sees it.
