Elizabeth Galbut

Founding Partner of two start-up venture capital firms, SoGal Ventures and A-Level Capital.

During my graduate studies at Johns Hopkins University & Maryland Institute College of Art, I consulted with hundreds of start-ups and identified the lack of pre-seed funding as the major issue preventing these startups from succeeding. To solve this, I created A-Level Capital, the student-led venture capital firm powered by Johns Hopkins students. With a team of 17 student venture capital partners, A-Level Capital aims to invest in 80 JHU student and young alumni startups in the next five years.

I knew the venture capital firm I desired to work for currently does not exist, so I set out to create her own. SoGal Ventures is the first female-led millennial venture capital firm, with an investment focus on exceptional, diverse founding teams that have plans for global domination through tackling major consumer or healthcare problems in the U.S. and Asia. SoGal Ventures represents how far our generation has come, and how deep our impact on the world can be.

Prior to graduate studies, as a Strategy and Operations Consultant at Deloitte Consulting, I focused my attention on developing long-term strategy for a variety of large healthcare clients. I contributed to business development efforts leading to over $200M of new work.

As a proud alumnus of Georgetown University, London School of Economics, Johns Hopkins University, and Maryland Institute College of Art, there's a handful of universities that are close to my heart!
