Jessica Li (Growth Marketing @ Zageno)

For our second guest, we had Jessica Li who recently left her role as an investor at Soma Capital to join Zageno in a growth marketing role. Jessica is the definition of an overachiever, and when she is not busy with her day job, she doubles as head of content at Elpha, is a top venture capital writer on Medium, and advises for a number of other startups and organizations.

In this talk, we ask Jessica about:

• what sparked her interest in startups and venture capital

• how she creates personal leverage through branding

• why she believes specialization is falling out of favor

• why she is leaving venture

• her main lessons during her time as an investor
