Balancing High-Risk Ventures with Conservative Money Management with Jenny Fielding, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Everywhere Ventures

I am joined this week by the incredible Jenny Fielding. Jenny is not only an accomplished venture capitalist and co-founder and managing partner at Everywhere Ventures, but also a published author of the book "Venture Everywhere," an exited founder, and a passionate community builder supporting female founders and investors.

Today, we dive deep into her journey from growing up in Manhattan to becoming a successful investor in the venture capital landscape. You'll hear about Jenny's early life in New York City, her parents' entrepreneurial backgrounds running their own businesses, and how these formative experiences shaped her views on money and financial security.

Jenny shares her traditional career path starting at JP Morgan after law school and how she bootstrapped her first startup while still working full-time. She discusses the emotional challenges of transitioning from a prestigious corporate job to entrepreneurship, the insecurities that initially held her back, and how she ultimately found the courage to chart her path.

Listen as Jenny talks about her investment philosophy, balancing high-risk venture investments with conservative personal finance habits, and her commitment to supporting women in tech and venture capital.
