Athena Kan, Harvard computer science graduate and former investor at 8VC. Right now, I'm building a company to help improve access to opportunity. Over the last few years, I've spent a lot of time working at the intersection of government and startups. I started Coding it Forward, backed by Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative and Knight Foundation to bring technical talent into federal government agencies. We've landed multiple federal government agency contracts and placed 50 technical people into government roles. I also built software for Uber's self-driving car team, City of Boston, VA/US Digital Service, and Vote.org. I've also been Managing Partner at First Round's Dorm Room Fund.
