Rachel supports founders at NYU’s Leslie eLab as they turn early ideas into growing ventures. She studied at Stony Brook University and earned master’s degrees in Information Science and Urban Planning from the University of Michigan. Her background spans venture capital, university commercialization at the University of Cambridge, and entrepreneurship as the founder of Adjacent and creator of Lodex. Outside of work, Rachel loves to write and believes the difference between science fiction and a startup is often just a business plan.
