Bio
Rebecca co-founded Canvas Ventures in 2013, spinning the firm out of Morgenthaler Ventures. Named a Woman to Watch: Senior Deal Maker by the Wall Street Journal in 2021 and a Top Woman VC by the New York Times, Rebecca has also been ranked on the Forbes Midas List 5 years in a row. Rebecca has demonstrated early and consistent conviction around fintech, healthtech, and consumer products, and she brings unique operational expertise in marketing and recruiting to support her companies as a venture capitalist. Rebecca works with early-stage founders to refine their product market fit and expand their go-to-market strategy. She loves helping early stage companies discover new channels for growth and make critical hires to take the company to the next inflection point.
Rebecca has been investing in digital health for over a decade; one of her early investments while a partner at Morgenthaler, Doximity (NYSE: DOCS), went public in June 2021 and, with a current market cap of $18B, stands as one of the largest IPOs of 2021. Rebecca’s very first entry into venture was leading an early-stage investment in Lending Club (LC), which turned into the largest US technology IPO of 2014 and the fourth largest US Internet IPO since 2001, behind Facebook, Twitter, and Google. Other notable exits from Rebecca’s early-stage investments include Casetext (acquired by Thomson Reuters), Gabi (acquired by Experian), Luminar (NASDAQ: LAZR), Check (acquired by Intuit), FutureAdvisor (acquired by BlackRock), and Figure Eight (acquired by Appen).
She currently sits on the boards of Airvet, Keyway, Marvin, MasonHub, Particle Health, Pine Park Health, Possible Finance, Routefusion, Tilled, Watershed Informatics, Vida, and Zola.
Rebecca has a degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Missouri, and a JD/MBA from the University of California, Berkeley. She serves on the board of Skydeck, the University of California, Berkeley, incubator and is a frequent lecturer at Stanford and Berkeley.
