I've known Vanesa for just over a year...and I'm so grateful for every day we've shared since.
I'm also very proud to be a founding voice of her community "EmpowerHer" and I'm also now partnering with her incredible organisation NoBa Capital. Co-founded with Kevin Fuller.
I LOVED our conversation!!
Vanesa is the Founding Partner of NoBa Capital, an early-stage venture firm backing founders who are reshaping how we live and work.
From AI-driven workforce platforms to tools for wellbeing and inclusion, NoBa invest in ideas that are global from day one — and support founders hands-on as operators who’ve built, scaled, and learned themselves.
What defines Vanesa professionally:
💡 Entrepreneurial drive - having founded and grown businesses, I know the grit it takes.
🤝 Community building - whether through NoBa Connect, Elevate, or EmpowerHER, Vanesa believes in creating platforms where people can collaborate, learn, and belong.
📈 Backing women and underrepresented founders - ensuring capital, networks, and opportunities reach those too often overlooked.
🌍 Long-term vision - building ventures and communities that outlast us, leaving real impact.
Vanesa's values:freedom and trust - they guide every decision she makes.
