Rebecca Lynn, MBA 2008

Rebecca Lynn is co-founder and general partner at Canvas Ventures. In her 15 years in venture, she has returned over $2B to her investors. Rebecca focuses on leading early-stage investments in fintech and digital health. She is passionate about partnering with founders to refine their product-market fit and expand their go-to-market strategy. Rebecca excels at helping companies discover new channels for growth and in identifying critical hires that can take a company from a startup to a public company. She backs founders who have audacious goals and a unique insight into how to create value. Rebecca prefers to invest early – when the go-to-market is not entirely sorted out, so that she can help guide the process. Going early has paid off – Rebecca made early bets on industry winners, which are now publicly traded companies, including Luminar (LAZR), Doximity (DOCS), and Lending Club (CLUB). Other recent exits include: Gabi (EXPGF) Check (INTU), FutureAdvisor (BLK), Figure8 (APX.AX), Viewics (ROG.SIX).
