Priya Saiprasad is one of Mayfield Fund's youngest partners in its 50-year history, and will focus on early-stage investing for enterprise startups.
Saiprasad told Business Insider that, because she lived in 12 countries when she was growing up and had to remake friends each time, she admires entrepreneurs that have to"create something out of nothing."
Priya Saiprasad is a millennial. She teaches hip hop dancing at her alma mater, University of California, Berkeley. She has a distaste for buzzwords, a love for math, and is a Yelp Elite member.The 50-year-old Silicon Valley institution brought on 29-year-old Saiprasad to lead the firm's early-stage enterprise investments starting May 14.
In a conversation with Business Insider, Saiprasad said she hopes to dispel the myth that women do not create enterprise tech companies. At M12, she launched the firm's female founder competition for women in enterprise tech, which received an overwhelming response. "The only thing that was constant for me was math," Saiprasad told Business Insider."Math is kind of the same in every country. Math was something that always drove me and I've always been really analytical; numbers just come very naturally to me. That's been one constant in my life."
