On this podcast Girls Who VC welcomes Abigail Risse to talk about her journey from mechanical engineering, to startups, to VC recruiting, to investing.

Abigail Risse is on the investment team at Hyperplane, an early-stage venture capital fund in Boston investing in B2B applications of novel AI/ML and automation technology since 2015. Abigail studied mechanical engineering and focused primarily on medical devices, specifically on prosthetic and orthopedic robotics. Abigail worked as an engineer at iRobot working on new renditions of robotic home products. At Hyperplane, Abigail focuses on industries of healthcare and supply chains, but enjoys evaluating early-stage companies regardless of the vertical. Outside of Hyperplane, Abigail is a spin instructor for the Equinox Boston studios and has a German Shepherd named Stella.
