About Erika Cramer
Erika Cramer is a first-generation American venture capitalist at How Women Invest who built her career from mailroom roles to co-founding investment banking boutique Silver Lane Advisors, which she grew to over 100 M&A transactions before selling her stake and channeling the proceeds into backing female founders. She caps her fund at $10M with $25K minimums to bring first-time female LPs into venture while treating them as an extended research team for sourcing deals, and uses her 25+ years of M&A experience to help founders think about liquidity paths from the early stages of company building.
