Alysia Silberg | Source | Street Global CEO, Silicon Valley Entrepreneur & Leading Venture Capitalist

Alysia Silberg is a startup investor, AI expert, entrepreneur, and executive coach. She is a cross between a survivalist and an industrialist – someone who has had to innovate and use whatever resources are available because they had to, and someone who sees opportunities in the marketplace and capitalizes on those.

Alysia was born to blaze trails. As the daughter of a Hollywood makeup artist who worked with screen legends like Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood, and Marlon Brando, she grew up with a dream of making her own mark in a world far away.

A math and science prodigy, she nurtured her entrepreneurial instincts while still in grade school, starting her first business, an import-export agency, at age 11.

Today, Alysia is a leading venture capitalist in Silicon Valley, where she mentors tech startups and helps them go public. She is CEO & General Partner of the investment firm Street Global.

As a thought-and-knowledge leader, Alysia earned acclaim for her groundbreaking online radio show, Global Fireside Chats, bringing together global industry titans to share insights on our fast-changing world. She is a UN Women Empower Women Global Champion, and an international board director with sovereign wealth fund experience.

With a robust academic background in mathematics, statistics, and financial modeling from world-renowned institutions such as Cambridge, Harvard, Stanford, and UC Berkeley, Alysia has a profound understanding of the complex and ever-evolving tech landscape. As a seed-stage tech investor, she is deeply involved with a host of trailblazing companies that are pushing boundaries in AI, Crypto, Health, Sustainability, and Cybersecurity. Alysia’s investment portfolio is a testament to her knack for identifying high-performing companies that are not just solving significant problems in large markets, but also redefining the future of their respective sectors.

Alysia is also the author of Unemployable: How I Hired Myself. In Unemployable, Alysia shares her powerful story of survival and success, aided by the great equalizer – technology. Growing up in poverty in South Africa, Alysia experienced violence, abuse, and even a gunshot wound. Through determination and an unwavering commitment to learning, she made her way to America and Silicon Valley, becoming a lover and funder of startups, with a passion for AI.
