Receptionist to $200M AUM: Elodie Dupuy, Full In Partners on SAAS Investing & 'Pushing Through Pain'

Billion Dollar Moves™ with Sarah Chen-Spellings | Global Venture Capital

I’m so excited about this week’s guest! If you’ve been following our work at Beyond The Billion; there’s no better snapshot of why we do the work we do than this episode; where Elodie Dupuy represents the kind of fund manager we are so bullish on. Starting as a receptionist at Insight Venture Partners, she is today betting on herself. Elodie founded Full In Partners, a software-focused $200M growth equity fund based in New York City, getting into deals like Canva, and Vinted. How she got there? You’d have to tune in.
