Sarah is an associate at Geek Ventures, focusing on deal sourcing, screening, and conducting in-depth analyses of prospective startups.

Before joining Geek Ventures, Sarah gained experience at several different early-stage VC firms, where she focused on 1) building relationships with VCs, founders, and community builders, 2) sourcing and evaluating startups, and 3) performing due diligence. She's also worked for several startups, including Bulletpitch and WingDriver (Techstars '23).

She's very active in the startup and VC community, and served as the Chief of Staff, member of the Investor Committee, and a Founding Speaker for the Inaugural Texas Venture Gala and Forum, as well as a SXSW 2024 and 2025 Conference PanelPicker Evaluator. On top of this, she's had 30+ speaking engagements on pitching, funding and investing, selecting a viable startup to invest in, and obtaining experience in VC.

Outside of her professional pursuits, Sarah loves going to the arcade. An arcade master, she taught herself how to win countless stuffed animals from crane games by watching YouTube videos.
