Althea Wishloff

Althea is an Indigenous person of the Gitxsan First Nation and currently resides in New York City (traditional homelands of the Lenape Peoples) with her family. 

​

Althea graduated from the University of British Columbia and later went on to pursue her CFA, completing Level I and II. Althea was also an Adjunct Professor for five years at the Schulich School of Business, teaching private equity classes.

​

Outside of computer-land, Althea loves reading, biking, and playing bonus-mom to her young siblings.

Althea is a General Partner at Raven Capital, the first venture fund focussed on investing in Native-led and Indigenous-led companies. Humbly, Althea was the first Indigenous woman of Canada to become a GP at a venture firm. At Raven, Althea leads their U.S. practice and, while Raven is a generalist investor, Althea loves spending time with health and technology companies. 

​

Prior to Raven, Althea was the co-CEO of Koble (acq: Dialogue Technologies), a perinatal digital health solution, and a pre-seed/seed-stage investor with Panache Ventures. 

​

While startup boards occupy much of her time, she also loves working with community organizations: Althea is a Venture Partner at Adrenaline, an Advisory Leadership Member at MIT's Indigenous SOLVE Program, a Director for the Indigenous Leadership Circle, and a Instructor at the Rematriating Economies Apprenticeship.
