Some people just have it.

Hawa Sultani was, in my opinion, the best student leader the Simon School Venture Fund has seen in over a decade—among many great leaders. University of Rochester – Simon Business School, University of Rochester

Leadership.

Organization.

Interpersonal Skills.

She ran the fund like a pro before ever stepping into the business world. So, it’s no surprise she’s now crushing it at Microsoft, making big moves in strategy, venture capital, and beyond.

And now, she’s back at SSVF — this time as a board member, mentoring the next generation of leaders.

This is exactly what the Simon School Venture Fund is all about:

• Backing the best talent early.
• Developing leaders who drive impact.
• Building a network that pays it forward.

With 20+ portfolio investments, 4 successful exits, and multiple deals invested in this year, the fund is stronger than ever.

Having leaders like Hawa on our Board keeps the momentum going and ensures we continue shaping the next generation of leaders at the Simon Business School.

Congrats, Hawa—well earned.

Great to be working with you again!
