In our sixth episode, I speak with Roseanne Wincek. Roseanne Wincek, one of the cofounders and managing director at Renegade Partners, is originally from Cleveland. Once set on nabbing a Ph.D. at UC Berkeley, instead she left the school with a master’s degree in biophysics to head to Stanford for her MBA. A previous founder, she spent time at Canaan as a principal, and then headed to IVP, where she rose through the ranks to partner, investing across enterprise and consumer companies that include Glossier, Compass, MasterClass and TransferWise.
