James Baldwin once observed, “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” Inequities in the systems that govern wealth and power in our society are vast—but acknowledgment of those inequities, less so. At GEM, we’ve chosen to face the reality of our society—and, specifically, our industry—and work towards a better one.
Kate Simpson and Jay Ripley spoke with James Comtois at Institutional Investor about Kate’s decision to join GEM, the evolution of the venture market, and how the firm is navigating current challenges and opportunities to meet the growing demand for access.
The firm announced that Kate Simpson has joined GEM as Managing Director on the Investment team. With more than 20 years of experience, she will help guide the firm’s venture capital strategy and further strengthen its investment platform.
GEM is proud to announce that Managing Partner and Co-Founder, Stephanie Lynch, has been recognized by Pensions & Investments as one of the 2025 Influential Women in Institutional Investing, honoring leaders driving impact and positive change in the industry.
Let’s start a conversation about how we can help.
