Ellie Jenkins supports AI Fund portfolio companies through their fundraising journeys, leveraging the Fund’s VC network and resources to help founders achieve their growth milestones. She manages investor outreach campaigns, streamlines due diligence processes, and ensures founders have the materials and connections they need to succeed.
Her hands-on approach means working closely with CEOs to ensure their financial story is compelling and clear for investors. She partners with founders on everything from data room preparation to tracking progress throughout the fundraising process, helping them present their vision in the most effective way possible.
“Building a successful company requires a strong ecosystem. The network and support system behind founders is really important.”
To that end, she describes her role as “in the trenches, working side-by-side with portfolio company CEOs through the ups and downs of fundraising.” This understanding drives her collaborative approach to portfolio support, whether she’s coding up automations to make founders more efficient, or helping founders navigate the complexities of fundraising.
Before joining AI Fund, Ellie briefly worked in international syndicated debt markets before pivoting to venture capital and the startup ecosystem. She studied economics at the University of Edinburgh, where she helped manage an £80,000 student-run investment fund and led investing in the Basic Materials sector.
