Samina Hydery Burke
Investor, Advisor, and Community Builder
I’ve been investing in venture, growth, and buyout for the last several years, with a passion for consumer, healthcare, and technology. I was first at San Francisco-based ICONIQ Capital, the hybrid growth equity firm and multi-family office investing on behalf of the leading executives at Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, among others. I then launched a $25M venture capital fund with one of my former Partners as a 50/50 co-founder, successfully pitching to the likes of John Legend and Andy Roddick and investing across 10 companies. While I loved supporting early stage businesses and harnessing my entrepreneurial DNA, it was time to head back home to New York where I joined a top global private equity firm and learned from great mentors.
Writing checks spanning $200K-$400M to help companies grow has been rewarding – but helping you get that check would be the most rewarding of all. We all deeply know the statistic: women currently receive less than 3% of venture funding in a given year. I am dedicated to changing the status quo and getting more women and minority entrepreneurs funded. My biggest passions are *women’s health and women’s wealth* – through my advisory work, I’m excited to tackle both.
