Carolynn Duncan is not your typical venture capitalist. No Harvard MBA. No Stanford pedigree. This music-major from Brigham Young University is marching to the beat of her own drum and making a difference while she’s at it.
Duncan is launching a $20 million venture fund, Northwest Social Venture Fund, to invest in technology startups with a social mission and less than $1 million in revenue. She plans to invest $500,000 to $3 million in series A rounds with such companies, according to Sustainable Business Oregon.
