Amanda Robson started her career in investment banking at William Blair before moving into venture capital at Norwest Venture Partners and then Cowboy Ventures, where she became the youngest partner in the firm's history. In 2025, she left to found Modern Technical Fund as a solo general partner, built specifically to back highly technical founders - often in infrastructure, data, and security - who tend to look strongest to specialists long before they look obvious to generalist investors.
