At the time, she was a young partner at Andreessen Horowitz, working on its deal team after graduating from Cornell as a statistics major.
Indeed, a CNBC story about Beller last year reports that at one point, she was the sole person on a Facebook blockchain initiative meeting with those in the know, attending relevant events, and otherwise researching the technology.
All that said, Beller notes that as a full-time investor with NFX, she will not be focused exclusively or even mainly on crypto.
Its the broad theme of NFX, a now 25-person outfit cofounded five years ago by serial entrepreneurs who have all seen their companies acquired, including Levy-Weiss ; Pete Flint ; and James Currier .
As part of getting to know the partners and their thinking better, she introduced them to one company that they have since funded.
Last month, for example, NFX led a seed round for Warmly, a nine-month-old, San Francisco-based startup whose product tracks individuals in a customers CRM system, then sends out a notification when one of his or her contacts changes jobs.
Flint says the firm began looking for a fourth partner two years ago and that it has spoken with dozens of exceptional people since then, but it always came back to Morgan.
As for how she launches her career as a general partner in a pandemic, she notes that she loves walking and that shell happy cover 20 miles a day if given the opportunity.
