Kapor Capital’s managing partner Ulili Onovakpuri is leaving the firm
Kapor Capital’s managing partner Ulili Onovakpuri said yesterday that she is leaving the firm.
Onovakpuri started as a principal at Kapor Capital more than a decade ago, and rose through the ranks to become managing partner, and eventually (with Brian Dixon) took over the reins from the firm’s co-founders Mitch Kapor and Freada Kapor Klein.
In her LinkedIn goodbye post, Onovakpuri said she had co-raised a $126 million fund and backed more than 70 companies during her time at Kapor. “I’ll truly miss it,” she wrote.
“This isn’t a goodbye to investing or to funding the founders building critical solutions. But it is a purposeful pause,” she wrote, noting that she didn’t have any plans just yet. She did say, however, that the venture world hasn’t seen the last of her.
“But my inbox has definitely seen the last of ‘just wanted to follow up on the deck I sent you,” she said. “At least for now.”
