Women Who Build: Melina Bergkamp, Executive Director, JP Morgan Venture Capital Relationships.

A technology startup, just like any other company, needs financial solutions. The nature of these solutions may vary for it but that is exactly why a startup may need the sophistication and stability of a platform like JP Morgan to help navigate its financial needs. While JP Morgan is traditionally known to work with large corporate clients, it has made its presence felt in the startup world as well, engaging early on in a founder's journey through its initiatives like startup banking for Innovation Economy businesses, digital capital raising and networking through its Capital Connect platform, to name a few. But let's be clear: Not all founders have worked in investment banking before and therefore might find it hard to navigate a large platform like JP Morgan! So we have folks like Melina Bergkamp who help them with it. Melina is an Executive Director on JP Morgan's Venture Capital Relationship Team and is based in NYC. She has spent her career in the stakeholder management domain, with prior experience with the Venture & Corporate Relationships team at Silicon Valley Bank.
