Priya Purewal
Personal Background: My name is Priya Purewal, and I was raised in Dallas, TX. I spent my childhood and adolescence in Texas, which created my love for Tex-Mex cuisine. I’m a dual U.K. / U.S. citizen, and growing up spent summers in England where majority of my family resides. I’ve moved from Dallas, to Austin, to New York City, and now am living in Santa Monica, CA. My passions today include singing, playing piano and guitar, traveling, photography, learning Spanish, swimming, board games, food, and adrenaline-junkie activities.
Professional Background: After graduating from UT Austin in 2014, I started my career in consulting where I worked to design and implement cutting-edge technology solutions for Fortune 500 financial services clients. After four years, I decided to pivot towards helping smaller entrepreneurs scale their business, and attended Columbia Business School to explore that interest. During my time in New York City, I was fortunate enough to work at 3 different venture capital funds across consumer and enterprise, and after business school took a role at a growth-stage venture capital fund based in Santa Monica, CA. Most recently, I have joined at a venture capital fund based in both Los Angeles and New York City focused on high growth consumer, software, and technology companies.
