Shrina Kurani is a mechanical engineer by training, and loves building the entrepreneurial community the same way she builds machines: with a robust foundation and strong purpose. She has worked with government projects and startups from London to the Himalayas, has built multiple companies, and most recently ran for United States Congress in 2022 on a strong climate platform. She is a fierce believer in the power of innovation to solve the planet’s most pressing problems, and enthusiastic about seeking out and supporting ideas to make them successful. Shrina leads Grid110, a non-profit organization serving underrepresented entrepreneurs across the country, co-founded SNØCAP, an early-stage venture fund focused on deeptech climate solutions, and is the Venture Specialist for California’s new fund supporting a more inclusive venture capital ecosystem.
