Ali Goldstein Norup
Head of VC & Startup Ecosystem, Americas
Google Cloud
Googler
I joined Google after finishing as the EIR in FinTech at Techstars and being a two-time founder, one Techstars backed (kpiReady) and the other bootstrapped (GDPRsimple).  During my time as a founder, I also mentored over 15 Techstars programs, in multiple early-stage startup programs nationwide (ASU Venture Devils, ASU Computer Science Program, and New Inc.) and to over 300 companies globally, focusing on their OKRs, KPIs, and startup narratives/visions.  Before spending the last six years in startups in technology, I started my career in relationship management/business development strategy in the non- and for-profit fields and joined JPMorgan Asset Management after getting my MBA from NYU Stern.
In addition, I am the co-head of the Techstars NYC Chapter, sit on the Techstars Chapter Advisory Board, am a founding mentor of Northeastern University's The Roux Institute Techstars Accelerator, and mentor/advise/angel invest in early-stage startups from Techstars and beyond.  Additionally, I joined the board of Flip.xyz in early 2022 and am passionate about web3.  But my geekiness doesn't stop with OKRs, KPIs, and relationship management, I love learning about the arts and trying new recipes (including making my own cider).  I currently split my time between Portland, ME, and NYC to be outside as much as possible.  If you have not heard from me yet, I will be reaching out as I am really excited to meet you, have virtual coffee chats or walks, and to partner with all of you.
