Sophie Forest is an incendiary angel investor and venture capitalist, a combination that is sure to make sparks fly. As managing partner, along with her team made up of diverse skill sets and strengths, Brightspark ventures is the leading early-stage internet, media, and software venture capital firm in Canada.“ I think we make better decisions because we are very different, we look at problems, solutions, and decision making differently, making us better as a firm and better as a company.” During her career as venture capitalist, she has led and overseen more than 50 investments in technology companies in Canada. Sophie also played a pivotal role in growing Radian6, which was acquired by Salesforce in 2011 for US $326M. Sophie sits on the Board of Directors of a number of companies, including Hopper, Jewlr, nGuvu, Classcraft and more! In this week’s #StartupPodcast, host Rivers Corbett talks to Sophie about making investment decisions and the power of diverse teams.
