Tech Scenes Bel-Air with Jenny Fielding, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Everywhere Ventures
In this episode of Tech Scenes Bel-Air, we take a drive with Jenny Fielding, an influential founder, operator, and one of the most active pre-seed investors globally. Jenny is the Co-founder and Managing Partner at Everywhere Ventures, a global venture capital firm investing in the future of money, health, and work. Having been the first money into over 300 tech-enabled companies, Jenny brings deep insight into the world of early-stage investment and building founder-led communities.

Today, at Everywhere Ventures, Jenny leads a thriving community of 500+ founders and operators who actively source, diligence, and invest in early-stage companies worldwide.
In our conversation, we explore the mission and vision of Everywhere Ventures and how Jenny and her team support founders across the globe. We discuss her approach to investing, the challenges of scaling an early-stage fund, and her dedication to cultivating founder communities beyond traditional geographic boundaries. Jenny shares her thoughts on the evolving landscape of venture capital, the value of being the first money in, and the importance of supporting ambitious, world-changing founders at the earliest stages.
