Lux Capital partner Renata Quintini wasn’t supposed to be a venture capitalist.
She grew up in Brazil, went to law school, and began her career as an attorney. Quintini was working at a law firm that represented venture capital clients who were backing Brazilian startups.
“It was during a time when the Internet infrastructure was getting laid out in Brazil, and e-commerce, content, and media was all starting to develop,” she told Term Sheet. “I became really curious.”
Quintini decided to try her hand at investing as an investment manager at Stanford University’s endowment, which backs dozens of private equity and venture capital firms. After three years, she made the move to the VC side and joined Felicis Ventures as a general partner. There, she invested in companies including Cruise (acq. by GM), Dollar Shave Club (acq. by Unilever), Bonobos (acq. by Walmart), and Rigetti Computing.
Now, she’s at Lux Capital, a New York-based venture firm focused on deep tech investing. The firm’s guiding philosophy? The more ambitious the project, the better.
Term Sheet caught up with Quintini to discuss her experience as a limited partner, investing in moonshot projects, and the importance of a strong ethical foundation in tech.

The Lion’s Den mission is to connect companies with investors through a Christian business pitch competition where business leaders can use their wealth and experience to change the world and make an impact, and this is exactly what happened at this year’s conference!
The 4th annual Lion’s Den Event in DFW was held at the nationally ranked Dallas Baptist University campus on March 22, 2019. At this year’s event there were close to 500 in attendance, representing 25 states and over 70 cities!
The conference kicked off with Todd Sinelli inspiring the audience with his words and with a little magic! He spoke about being inspired, involved, innovative and the power of being “in”.
There were many incredible breakout sessions including Impact Investing for family offices, private equity groups, venture capitalists, and even through public equities. Panel after panel of experienced business leaders talked to entrepreneurs about how to build a thriving impactful business. For the second year, a panel of successful women entrepreneurs shared opportunities and issues they face daily in the marketplace as women.
We also had the pleasure of Wade Myers joining us once again. He led several sessions where he discussed how to raise money successfully as an entrepreneur and talked about how to implement a successful framework for growth stage companies. Other key breakout topics included sharing your faith at work and what the bible says about business.
This year we had an exceptional Keynote Lunch which completely sold out. Our panel, including Elizabeth Phillips, Executive Director of the Phillips Foundation, Will Thomas, Managing Director of Ambassadors Impact Network, Aimee Minnich, Co-Founder and General Counsel of the Impact Foundation, and Jake Thomsen, Partner at Sovereign’s Capital Management, spoke on the “State of Impact Investing.”
