Cake Ventures
Monique Woodard is the Founding Partner and Managing Director at Cake Ventures where she invests in technology companies whose growth will be accelerated by major demographic changes.
These ‘layers’ of demographic change (yes, like a layer cake) represent one of the biggest changes to the internet user base and opportunity to invest in the next generation of internet companies.
Monique is a venture capitalist who has invested in global startup ecosystems in the U.S. and internationally since 2016. Prior to founding Cake Ventures, Monique was a Venture Partner at 500 Global where she invested in early stage companies in the U.S. and Africa. Following her time at 500 Startups, Monique became a Venture Scout at Lightspeed Venture Partners and a trusted advisor to foundations and venture capital firms like SoftBanl=k and Living Cities. Before moving to the investor side of the table, Monique spent 15+ years in the startup industry as a founder and operator.
