Introduction
Julia has worked with 100+ startups over the last decade. She joined Facebook in 2007 when it was just 200 people, and spent most of her time on the Platform team working with entrepreneurs and developers.
She was part of Facebook's two person fbFund team backed by Accel and Founders Fund. Through that, she helped fund Lyft (IPO-ed), TaskRabbit (acq. by IKEA), Life360 (IPO-ed), and Wildfire (acq. by Google) as well 50+ other teams when they were 2-4 people. fbFund also ran one of the first startup accelerators.
After Facebook, Julia spent 8+ years as founder and CEO at a few startups in the social good, travel, and fashion space. She helped to start Startup UCLA, which is now in its 9th year.
On the advisor side, Julia brings her own founder knowledge to help companies get through their “firsts” (first product, first fundraise, first launch, etc.). Given this, she often meets teams in their first 1-2 years as a company and helps them grow and get to the next level.
