Alisha has over a decade of experience as COO/CFO of a variety of start-ups in the clean energy, healthcare and fintech spaces. Alisha’s operational experience is in helping small companies rapidly scale. She has built finance and internal operations teams from scratch, overseen acquisitions, managed large scale ERP roll-outs, and led successful fundraising efforts. She has worn every hat as she’s helped companies grow and scale. She’s enjoyed successful exits, including an IPO, and—like all good entrepreneurs—has a couple misses under her belt as well. Alisha loves rolling up her sleeves to help small companies solve big problems and is excited to now be on the investor side of the table. She founded Daintree Capital in 2020 because she knew that a system that puts 86% of investment capital into the hands of all-male founding teams is missing a huge investment opportunity in companies built and run by diverse teams that are attacking overlooked problems or solving known problems in a unique way. Alisha has a B.A. in Economics from the University of Virginia and an M.B.A. from Stanford University. She lives in Chevy Chase, MD with her husband and two sons and spends her weekends as a professional youth sports spectator.
