Bio
I am a co-founder and VC at Work-Bench, an enterprise-focused venture fund in New York City.
My investment area of focus is in future of work, teams, and jobs.
At Work-Bench, we have been building a new kind of enterprise venture fund, and a home and hub for enterprise tech here in NYC, and 200+ events a year to bring together and connect leading enterprise startups and forward-thinking Fortune 500s - "the suits and the hoodies."
My role draws on my previous lives in both the corporate and startup worlds: in Learning & Development at Cisco Systems, and leading an innovation and design fellowship in South Africa at Harvard University.
I am also a longtime GED instructor, and am passionate about transforming workforce development through tech.
I write a column for Forbes on the future of jobs and startups helping to create jobs here in the U.S. - https://www.forbes.com/sites/jessicalin.
