Hi! My name is Olivia.
Currently
I am an investor at Banana Capital based in New York City backing early-stage startups globally. Specifically, I spend time in consumer internet, ecommerce & retail enablement, prosumer software/tools, and vertical software & marketplaces. I love observing and thinking about how people interact with the physical and digital world and what forces shape those behaviors.
​
I started my career as an investment banker at J.P. Morgan and then moved to San Francisco to join the SVB Capital team where we invested in both venture funds and Seed to Series D companies in enterprise, fintech, and consumer.
Previously
I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and my parents are Chinese immigrants who have given me the world. From their example, I have learned how to be scrappy and think outside of the box.
​
As a teenager, I spent a lot of time online and was obsessed with internet culture and consumer products. This interest led me to start my own beauty Youtube channel and a homemade marshmallow company called Chubby Bunny in high school.
I continue to be interested in brands, business, and culture, and have directed that passion towards creating content at TrillionDollarTAM. In both this endeavor and my investing role, I love that learning and creative thinking are built into my day-to-day.
