Hello! My name is Priscilla Russo and I am an aspiring early-stage investor. ![[Close up.png|inlL|300]] A little bit more about me before you dive into my "second brain": 1. **I’m a sucker for a good conspiracy theory.** My bedtime stories growing up were always “America’s Unsolved Mysteries” or about the JFK assassination. I like to imagine myself as an investigative journalist -- if I push hard enough, I can uncover the truth. For other X-Files fans, *the truth is out there.* 2. **I’m a perpetual beginner.** I love diving into new hobbies, which often means I'm the least experienced at whatever I've recently picked up. I'm drawn to the steep learning curve of understanding a new topic, so you might find me signing up for a jiu-jitsu class or trying flyfishing on a whim. It's why I unexpectedly joined the varsity sailing team in college (having never set foot on a sailboat) and spent the next four years dangling off the side of a dinghy. This curiosity also means I write about a wide range of topics simply because I enjoy the process of learning. 3. **FinTech is where I started**, but as Angela Strange nicely put it, "every company will be a fintech company." This means that I’m spending a lot of time exploring the intersections of FinTech with other industries, following the trail to see where it can go next.

Under "Articles, Meetings, Notes," you'll find clips and notes of articles I've found interesting. This is the equivalent of going down a rabbit hole. I will add more sections, including "News" and "Companies", where I provide a stream of news and companies I am looking at. ### What's changed? Look at the [[Change Log]] to see recent updates.
