New York, New York, United States
Daphne has been at the forefront of identifying, chronicling, and transforming trends in technology for the past three decades. She has a particularly strong belief in the global empowerment of women in entrepreneurship that has motivated her to actively advise and mentor for organizations including SheEO, the Women’s Quorum Initiative, and the Springboard Enterprises Tech Council.
She spent nearly twenty years as co-owner, President and CEO of EDventure Holdings where, in the very early days of the Internet, she published Release 1.0, the premiere monthly report on emerging trends in IT, which helped catalyze and guide many of the breakthroughs that modern technology users take for granted.
A fiercely passionate entrepreneur, Daphne has invested in over 35 startups internationally, many of which have led to successful IPOs, acquisitions and rapid expansion.
