Hi! I'm Vaneezeh.

I’m a 🇨🇦 in the big 🍎 with a background in product, VC, and data science across the corporate and start up worlds. Today, I invest in early stage technology with Thomson Reuters Ventures.

Outside of work you can find me 💪 at the gym**,** ✨ exploring NYC’s creative and culinary scene, and ☀️ laughing at my own jokes. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat! Linked In / Email / Twitter

Thomson Reuters Ventures is a $100M fund based in NYC that invests in seed to series B enterprise tech companies.
Our industries of focus include legal, tax, fraud, risk, compliance, fintech, and insurtech.
I meet with founders, lead diligence processes, run our brand and marketing engine, and am building a thesis in fraud.

My community has helped me get to where I am today, and I’m a big believer that if you have a seat at the table, it’s your responsibility to pull up a chair for the next person.
I mentor emerging investor talent at Front Row Ventures and Girls Into VC, and female founders in the Women Founders Project program.
