A venture capital investor, she is the founder of Cowboy Ventures.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Lee coined the often-used Silicon Valley term unicorn in a TechCrunch article "Welcome To The Unicorn Club: Learning from Billion-Dollar Startups" as profiled in a New York Times article. A unicorn is generally defined as a privately held startup that has a $1 billion valuation – something rare (like a unicorn).[11] EducationLee earned her bachelor's degree from the MIT Sloan School of Management in 1992. After MIT, she worked as a financial analyst for two years at Morgan Stanley.[12] She earned her MBA from Harvard Business School in 1997.[1] CareerLee joined Kleiner Perkins in 1999 and was the founding CEO of RMG Networks, a company backed by KPCB. Lee worked at Kleiner Perkins for 13 years and left in 2012.[13] In 2012, she left KPCB to start seed-stage venture firm, Cowboy Ventures.[14] In 2017, Lee added Ted Wang to the firm as a general partner.[15][16] Cowboy Ventures is one of the first female-led venture capital firms.[17] Over the past six years, Cowboy Ventures has received three large funds, the most recent reaching $95 million.[18][19] Through Cowboy Ventures, Lee has made investments in many early-stage companies, including August,[20] Dollar Shave Club,[20] Accompany[14] and Tally Technologies.[21][22][23] She is a public advocate of increasing the number of female founders and investors in the Silicon Valley.[24] PhilanthropyIn 2018, Lee co-founded All Raise, a nonprofit organization which seeks to increase the amount of funding that female investors receive.[19] The organization was founded as a collective by more than 30 venture capitalists who advocate for increasing the presence of women in venture capital.[25] Lee described the organization's importance in saying “We believe that by improving the success of women in the venture-backed tech ecosystem, we can build a more accessible community that reflects the diversity of the world around us.”[26] Awards and RecognitionLee was invited to speak at the 2018 Code Conference put on by Recode and additionally at the 2018 GeekWire Summit.[27][28] She also spoke at the 2019 Silicon Slopes Tech Summit.[29] and is recognized as a speaker for the organization Lesbians Who Tech and the Female Founders Conference.[30][31] Lee has appeared on Forbes' list of The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women (position #93)[32] and its The Top Women Investors On Midas In 2018 list (position #97).[33] Personal LifeLee grew up in New Jersey and is the daughter of Cantonese immigrants.[12] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.boardroominsiders.com/executive-profiles/1002493/Cowboy-Ventures/Aileen-Lee|title=Executive
