Ernestine Fu is managing general partner of venture capital firm Brave Capital. Brave Capital originated from a network of veteran families, public service leaders, and philanthropists supporting the next generation of technology companies.

Over the past decade, Fu has worked across the startup ecosystem, from negotiating merger and acquisition agreements, to organizing SPVs for later-stage companies, to angel investing in and advising companies that have since been acquired, to advising banks on venture debt. Alongside her role at Brave Capital, she is also a Venture Partner at Alsop Louie Partners, where she started her career and has guided founders as they navigate the journey to product-market fit and scale their businesses and teams.

Fu completed her BS, MS, MBA, PhD, and postdoc at Stanford University, where she currently teaches courses as a lecturer and co-leads Frontier Technology Lab. She has been recognized on the inaugural Forbes 30 Under 30 list, Vanity Fair Next Establishment list, and Business Insider Silicon Valley 100 list. She is a Kauffman Fellow and Eisenhower Fellow.
