Maurice Russo

I invest in early-stage startups at Lerer Hippeau, a New York-based seed fund. Before joining Lerer Hippeau, I worked at Healthworx, CareFirst's venture arm focused on healthcare innovation, and got my start at Gutter Capital. I also angel invest in companies like Kubera Health. Before venture, I spent two years as a professional poker player, which taught me more about risk, odds, and decision-making under uncertainty than any classroom did. Ask me about early-stage investing, healthcare startups, and how poker shapes the way I think about risk.
