Sarah Zou

Sarah began her career in investment banking at Bank of America, where every valuation and every diligence memo had to hold up under scrutiny before it reached a client — there was no room for a number she couldn't defend line by line.

She brings that same quantitative rigor to venture at Aventrix, focusing on AI, consumer, and world models. She's drawn to founders building genuine intelligence — systems that actually understand and reason about the world — and turning that into products real people choose to use, not just an impressive demo.

Sarah studied Economics and Mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis.
