Investor profile

Kirsten Green

Founder & Managing Partner, Forerunner Ventures

Built one of the first specialist "modern consumer" VC practices.

Before venture, Kirsten Green was an equity research analyst covering retail and consumer brands, spending as much time in stores as in spreadsheets to understand buying behaviour.

She founded Forerunner Ventures in 2010 and focused almost exclusively on direct-to-consumer commerce while it was still a contrarian niche — backing early breakouts including Warby Parker, Dollar Shave Club, Glossier and Chime.
