Kate McAndrew is a venture capitalist and cofounder of Baukunst, a $100 million pre-seed fund. She has led investments in over 70 companies at the concept stage. McAndrew looks for women who are charting their own course and magnetize the people they need. She believes the funding gap for female founders is a vision problem, not a diversity problem. McAndrew's portfolio includes Bobbie, an organic infant formula company that has surpassed $100 million in revenue. Bobbie's CEO, Laura Modi, is a case study in leadership, having expanded domestic manufacturing and helped draft federal legislation to prevent future shortages. Modi's approach to leadership extends inward, with a remote-first company and a parental leave policy that offers parents up to 12 months. McAndrew's investments focus on leaders who rewrite the playbook, rather than following it.
