In this episode, Annelies talks to us about how her entrepreneurial spirit has been a part of her identity since her youth—initially inspired by her dad! We also chat about the vitality of hustling in helping you find your niche (at startups in particular) and the parallels between working in venture and competing in college athletics. We also hear her experience as the first female in WTI's Investment Team and why early stage investing stands out to her and provides the unique opportunity to get involved in the company’s development early on.
