Biography

Maha Ibrahim has spent more than two decades at Canaan Partners, joining as a General Partner in 2000 after a career spanning Qwest, Boston Consulting Group, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, and building a reputation for spotting technology trends early - she was among the first investors to recognize the potential of social gaming. Her clearest and most personal proof point is The RealReal: she was the company's first investor, stayed on its board through years of growth, and remained through its 2019 Nasdaq IPO. She's also a founding member of All Raise, the nonprofit dedicated to increasing the number of women in venture capital and startup leadership, reflecting a career-long focus on funding and elevating female entrepreneurs.
