About Kathryn Finney

Kathryn Finney built one of the first successful fashion blogs in the early 2000s before becoming a venture investor, giving her firsthand experience with creator-led businesses that came before today's influencer economy. She spent nearly a decade creating the infrastructure and data tracking systems for Black and Latina women founders through Digital Undivided and Project Diane, positioning herself as both a researcher and ecosystem builder rather than just writing checks.
