Charlie O’Donnell was one of our panelists in March 2020 just days before New York City went into lock down. The topic of the IWiB's annual event was "Investing in Women." In 2021 we are all virtual... still. Charlie sat down with us to discuss how the pandemic has affected seed investing and what, if anything has changed for female founders and how women founders are different from their male counterparts.  

Charlie O'Donnell is the sole Partner and Founder at Brooklyn Bridge Ventures. The fund makes seed and pre-seed investments and was the first venture firm located in Brooklyn--where he was born and raised. Brooklyn Bridge invested in the first rounds of The Wing, Canary, Hungryroot, Ample Hills, Clubhouse, Imagen, and goTenna among others. Charlie has a reputation for being early to identifying important companies.
