Jennifer Fonstad is the rarest of finds in Silicon Valley: cofounder of a woman-run venture capital fund.

As an investor, she avoids divas at all costs, and don’t expect her to write a check and then disappear; collaboration makes her tick. Her primary focus is the $150 million fund: Series A rounds -- about $1 million to $6 million, and mainly for small cybersecurity, digital health and mobility businesses preparing to be huge.
