Sarah Hodges is a Partner for the early stage venture capital firm Pillar.
If you sat down with Sarah two years ago and asked if she’d want to become a venture capitalist, she would have shaken her head and said, “Absolutely not!” But she changed her mind after having a heartfelt conversation about Pillar’s mission and values with founder and VC veteran, Jamie Goldstein.
