Jacki (Hoffman) Zehner, Angel Investor

I'm Jacki Zehner and my personal mission is to work for the advancement of women and girls. It started at Goldman Sachs where, in 1996, I made history as the youngest woman and the first female trader to join Goldman Sachs' partnership. I'm an active early stage investor, both through directs and funds, with a focus on women and BIPOC founders. My direct portfolio of over 20 companies include the early success story, Learnvest. My current investments include Apolitical, Chief, Hello Alice, Known, Smartpurse and Uplevyl to name a few. I'm also a proud supporter and investor in two Utah-based companies, Rasa and Redemption Bank. (a list of my funds and directs can be found on jackizehner.com) My latest venture, SheMoney, is a dynamic platform, based in Utah, offering content, events, and consulting services aimed at supporting women's financial agency and well-being. In 2023, I was honored as a Utah Women of the Year by Utah Business Magazine, recognizing my commitment to creating opportunities for women in the state. Over the decades I have been the recipient of many awards and accolades on a national and global level. It is an honor and a privilege to do the work I do. Sometimes you choose what you do, and other times, what you do chooses you.
