Karen Y Rands's Page

About Me:

Karen Rands is an Opportunist. She left her corporate job at IBM in January of 2001 as the “Deal Maker” to work with a client in his go to market and final capital raise. She wanted to “get in the Parade” and not watch it go by. She jokes that little did she know she was in the venture capital parade that was walking into the wall at the end of the dead end alley-way, like out of the Animal House movie. Since that time, she has been actively developing funding models for clients in this new capital market and enjoying the rebound for early stage investments. She brings wisdom, experience and passion to the process of companies getting to market and growing through delivering on needed resources and capital.
