Aileen is the founder of Cowboy Ventures. She loves partnering at the earliest stage with startup teams to build products customers love, and to help them scale to build aspirational companies. She works with both enterprise and consumer-oriented tech startups, starting at seed stage and staying involved for many years beyond.\n\nPrior to Cowboy, she joined the venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers in 1999. At KPCB she worked hands-on with a range of consumer, enterprise and greentech companies including Bloom Energy (BE), Rent the Runway, Shopkick (acquired by SKPlanet), Tellme (acquired by MSFT), and Trendyol (acquired by Alibaba). During that time she was also founding CEO of KPCB-backed RMG Networks, a leading digital out-of-home media company.

We focus on investing in US-based software and internet-oriented seed stage startups. We will not be able to reply personally to all emails driven by the Investor Database, so please note we will only reply to you if there is a potential fit.

We are very open to cold outreach and welcome talented founders of all backgrounds and experiences that meet our criteria to reach out! We generally do not invest in pure consumer product and biotech companies.
