Glenn Borok 👋
Principal @ Alumni Ventures Seed Fund | MP @ inVest Ventures | Early-Stage Investor, ex-MIT

I’m a Principal at Alumni Ventures’ Seed Fund, partnering with ambitious founders building the next generation of Application Layer AI, FinTech, and NatSec companies.

I’m endlessly curious about the intersection of technology, finance, and human ingenuity, especially the psychology of building, the resilience required to scale, and the communities that make growth possible. That curiosity led me to launch inVest Ventures, designed to help the entrepreneurial culture I witnessed at LinkedIn flourish. We bring together former LinkedIn builders and the broader ecosystem to exchange ideas, collaborate, and shape the future together.

Through Glenn’s Guide to Venture and my regular posts, I share candid reflections on founder journeys, market trends, and the evolving role of venture capital. I’ve had the privilege of speaking at events like SaaStr, Finovate, and Chicago AI Week, where I explore the future of AI-driven business and the shifting dynamics of the venture landscape. I love breaking down complex ideas and making them accessible on stage, on the page, or over coffee.

If you're building, investing, or simply thinking deeply about what comes next, I’d love to connect.
